Video from AP CEO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rigsCqKsVVw
Highlights: Ceramic PC requires a new mold for every single watch. That is interesting and obnoxiously expensive to produce. In house chrono movement is done. It's up to them to decide when they want to release it, but it's finished and ready. |

Yep, ceramic is fun to produce.
No one really appreciates what it takes to make those cases. Molds are a lot less expensive though than entire machines that need to be replaced, like some specialized material CNC machined cases require. |

Any chance this devalues the 2385 roc? Hope you guys can chime in. Not really familiar with movement changes to inhouse and how it affected the previous models.

You don't need to kill to have a drink with him. Just buy enough AP watches from boutique and gets a private trip to tour AP Geneva. Like what Roger did.

That openworked tourbillon is absolutely mesmerizing. But on a more practical note I look forward to the in house Chrono release. That will be a game changer.

It's too silvery imo; a bit boring. Prefer the non-tourbillion (from a looks' perspective solely). That said; would love to own a tourbillion piece.

was he wearing a 37mm frosted AP RO? It looked like a 41mm Frosted. Is that a 1 of 1?

Probably they will release some new nonsense one this year with it. Then next year all the ROCs will have them. |

I'm thinking they will do an updated jules audemars chrono to try and spark some demand for that line and then put it in the RO as well. I don't know if they will put it in the ROO right away since it already uses the 3126 and the larger/thicker cases can easily house the modular movement.

They are probably going to launch new models with the inhouse...next SIHH I guess.. wonder what they have in store..
Any affect it will have on the previous models with the piguet f movements? Like a price increase or decrease etc? Any idea what happened in the past when a similar move was made by AP? |

ROOs have the calibre 3126/3840 now. ROCs are the most likely candidate and the JA is a good shout to help kickstart more sales.

The ROC is already on the pricier side... inhouse movement + sapphire caseback may warranty a big price increase.
Then again what if they pull a 'Tudor and just raise it $500? |

i think hes saying each piece of the link requires a unique mold since they are all different sizes.
... not for a new mold for every watch made cant wait for the new in house chronos |
