Thats where i was, now i've gone from 4 AP's to 1.
My take is we bash Hublot here a lot, but lets look at it another way. Hublot is aspiring to be more than they are and are punching above their weight. They are hungry and on the rise and you cant really fault them for that.
AP is being lazy and recycling too many ideas and calling it something new. They are declining.
Of the two brands and seeing their trajectories, I would rather be Hublot. I really would. Hublot is the one coming out with fresh ideas. I dont like a lot of them, but they are doing it. AP is getting by on reputation, not substance and that isnt going to last without some major shakeups. Im speaking to their mainstream pieces not their uber expensive complications.
