An introduction to Audemars Piguet's new 2024 watches
White gold “Jumbo” skeleton watch and two 41mm Royal Oak tourbillons
2024 replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
During my first practice, I almost had a heart attack. The anchors were handing out watches and as I was trying to take a photo I heard the words: "Steel Jumbo has been discontinued." I immediately started texting colleagues to prepare for a breaking news story. Well, thirty minutes later my dream of owning a 16202 came back to life (sort of) when I discovered that it was not the 16202ST that had been eliminated, but the 16204ST – “Jumbo” Openworked. Instead, we have 16204BC (platinum) to match last year’s 16204BA (and gold). Just a reminder: the "Jumbo" measures 39mm x 8.1mm, not the (paradoxically) larger 41mm. The moniker refers to the historical model, so the 39mm is the Jumbo – get it?
If you want more tourbillon, AP has you covered. A 41mm stainless steel and 18k rose gold tourbillon joins the existing collection, with a red dial on the stainless steel model reminiscent of the Bulk Metallic Glass Jumbo. It's just as difficult to shoot in a short time, so I'm sorry. The rose gold model features a sandblasted gray dial, similar to the 41mm titanium tourbillon already on the market. Both look great on their own, but if I had the choice I'd probably stick with the titanium model or the RD#3 as both are more conservative. One can dream. luxury fake Watches

Audemars Piguet now makes camo ceramic – I hate how much I love it
One of the most interesting things I saw in Milan was a prototype of the AP Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Tourbillon in a camouflage ceramic case. If you didn’t already think AP was leading the way at the forefront of ceramic technology in watchmaking, I don’t think you’d argue with that now. Technically, it's advanced. Aesthetically, it's wild. Of course, I wear camo occasionally. I grew up in the Midwest and spent a lot of time in rural areas where camouflage is great for hunting. But this isn't the camouflage I'm thinking of. This is pure, intense, loud street camo. I like it. best replica watches
From what I understand, Audemars Piguet has figured out how to make basically any camouflage design in ceramic through the new Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) technology process. In the process, the team carefully placed ceramic powders of different colors into circular graphite molds and sintered them using a powerful electric current passed through the graphite. When pressure is applied to both sides of the mold, the temperature rises rapidly, forming a ceramic disk. While the patterns are slightly different each time, at first glance they look similar enough for mass production. But AP can also easily change patterns or designs for endless possibilities for custom unique pieces and patterns. They told me that the brand carefully selected the design and colors during testing so that the pattern would appear best. Sometimes an idea works great on a made ceramic disc, but once you carve out the case shape it's hard to see. The discs are machined to shape, pre-polished and pre-satin-brushed, then hand-finished to obtain a satin finish and polished chamfers. JACOB & CO ASTRONOMIA CLARITY
Kristian Haagen, the incomparable workwear/military enthusiast, and I were standing there when we saw this watch, and I think you might have seen our eyes light up. I immediately had a lot of questions. "Can it be done in other colors?" They pulled out a tray that included a UV-reactive disc in which certain parts of the pattern would glow. "Other patterns? Can you do duck camo on one and tiger camo on the other?" Of course, they told me, no problem. When you realize that if AP is the only company doing this, it basically guarantees that, at least for a period of time, these printed watches will never be copied or counterfeited on the secondary market, which means it's The implications are crazy too. Finally, the brand teased in a press release that the technology can be finished in multi-color gold and will be showcased in prototype form in the coming months.
