SIHH 2019 potential new release by AP

[gsg]

I like what I am seeing, hopefully the case diameter is not too large.

Curious to see this new line as well. Watches with "case within a case" has been done before. Bulgari Assioma comes to mind.

From this its certainly not for me. Much too dressy and the dial seems very plain and boring. But we can't really tell until clear unambiguous pics are revealed.

Really wonder why this 11.59 code and what's the movement. It definitely doesn't show a chronograph - but I have hard time to understand all the noise they try to make from the pictures we have

It very much looks like / inspired by a De Bethune to me.

would be good.

I think the location of the date aperture at 4:30 indicates that there will be a chronograph variant and the CEO's previous and relatively recent comments have noted that they have been working on an in house chronograph that was near completion and would be launched in a new line.

It's inevitable sometime in the future. I would be shocked if the ROC didn't receive a new movement with the 4302 as the base.

They released a special "Dubail" edition years ago that had a display case back. Not a lot of info on the web about it but the link below was for one sold a while back.

I wish I could slap FHB across the head for releasing a new line with a 430 date aperture. Is there nobody there with any eye for design. Smh

I'm with you......why must they put the date there?
4:30 date window and no seconds hand are two watches I would never buy.

RD#2 to be released as well most likely - let's see material (if PT or not) and pricing

I think the only thing we can say for sure is the case style based on the drawings and videos on the website. The dial look very plain and hand and numbers as well. For the production version, they could be dramatically different, with or without lume. Plus there could be multiple version, time only, date, the long awaited new chrono movement etc. there is no way they had all this mystery only to show pretty much the whole thing in these teasers!
