Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars
March 16, 2009
Luxury Swiss watchmaking maison Audemars Piguet revealed the fruits of its research and development labors at the recently concluded Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie. The watch itself is a time-only proposition, with power reserve indication (56 hours), but it is a horological masterpiece.
This is actually visible, since the escapement assembly (at 4 o’clock in the image) is meant to function dial-side. Given that it operates at 43,200 vibrations per hour and features the double balance spring direct-impulse escapement (revealed to the world in 2006), the visible action of this escapement is a treat.
With this series-production watch, Audemars Piguet demonstrates both the stability of their balance assembly and the necessary improved shock resistance. No information is available at present on the rate of the watch.
This is a massive 17 2/3 lignes movement, with the open three-dimensional aesthetic showing off the true scale of the engine. It also confirms the brand’s commitment to producing large watches, with this model cased in platinum 250 at 46mm. Given the current real estate of this movement, calibre 2908, it will be interesting to see how the brand executes a chronograph or perpetual calendar display.
Audemars Piguet – Royal Oak Carbon Concept Tourbillon and Chronograph
September 26, 2008
Already the first & only company to master forged carbon technology, the Manufacture in Le Brassus is taking a further step by presenting the first watch equipped with both a case and movement in carbon.
Lightness and sturdiness are the keynotes of this exceptional timepiece, since along with carbon, forged carbon and the amorphous carbon coating, its materials also include ceramics, titanium and eloxed aluminium. In terms of its display, this model features an entirely original linear chronograph minute counter. The Royal Oak Carbon Concept Tourbillon and Chronograph doubtless prefigures the future of watchmaking.

Test Drive The Royal Oak Offshore Alinghi Team Chronograph
February 1, 2008
This is one serious watch made by AP. Gorgeous light weight, carbon case and bezel with black dial. This timepiece is a limited series of only 1,300 pieces in the entire world which
makes it that special. Below you will find some specs on the time.
This timepiece has a case diameter of 43mm, one millimeter larger than its 1976 predecessor. This slight increase is due to the rounder contours of the lateral hinge ridges. The new three-part case has a screwed back with a sapphire-crystal case back and a screw-down crown. It is water resistant to a depth of 120 meters. The movement is the self-winding Patek Philippe calibre 315 SC, powered by an extra-heavy 21K gold central rotor. The dial displays the hours, minutes, sweep seconds, and the date in an aperture at 3 o’clock.
