20% of these are retailers/ADs. I don't expect same amount of pieces towards them.
USA is the biggest market with 30% share so they will get more pieces compared to Europe or Middle East.

Surprised that no one else has mentioned this up to now but there’s a new AP House opening in the North of England.

Somewhat related question. My home boutique is an AP/Material Good joint venture location. I recently traveled internationally and visited an AP House. I was just planning to check it out but they offered me a watch and I jumped at the opportunity. Would this affect me negatively at my home boutique? I had thought that AP was one umbrella so to speak so it wouldn't necessarily matter where you purchased from but the joint venture nature of my hole boutique is making me second guess.

AP House in meatpacking district in NYC. Nondescript small AP at single door leads to a rather grand AP House above an Italian restaurant. Almost like a speakeasy entrance.

It was an Offshore 26420RO. I think I've convinced myself that it shouldn't hurt me but maybe someone else knows more.

This is false. If you break up the world into Americas, Asia and Europe, Asia gets the lions share with only 15% making it to the Americas.

“Flagships” will always get quite a bite more (AP House London, AP Paris, AP houses HK, AP House Tokyo, etc). AP Mykonos or Venice will get substantially less

USA/North America is the number one market for AP!

I really feel like it's truly Japan, especially with all these special editions they make for this small market

But in terms of "regions" it was 11% Middle East, 16% Americas, 33% Europe and 40% Asia in 2020.
