New RO chrono teaser on AP Facebook page?

[edo]

Audemars Piguet Facebook page just posted a teaser video with this copy:

Coming soon.
A novelty from Le Brassus

It is clearly a chrono RO, but it is little strange to announce new chrono and the SIHH RO novelties just hit ADs and boutiques...

[APAP]

Interesting. Could they be dropping the in-house chrono now?

[Superburrito]

I'd love to see a 39mm chrono with in-house movement

This...if they do that in rose gold I could be screwed...

[jem7v]

That's it? That video sucks and showed nothing lol.

Damn, if they release the in-house chrono I want that. Blahhhh.

No way they'd drop the in-house on a SS or gold ROC and tank the new releases. It'd have to be something like a ceramic ROC with SS release several years off.

Don't make the mistake and think AP cares at all. They have no issue releasing things that screw previous customers. The ceramic of this year was a perfect example of that.

Look at mclaren. Every year a new car. Every year the previous models go to sh** on the secondary market. They don't care.

Can be a new color of the dial ?
It seems similar to the panda one but maybe with some tone of red added

Where do you see the red?

[kutime]

Just picked up the new white dial panda, why do they have to do this to me...Lol

[GB-man]

Can't say I was expecting this....hmm. They have my attention lol

When there is more light in the video...seems to me that the chrono second hand have red stitch like in the offshore. It maybe I'm dreaming.

See in person of the 3 dial new the white one doesn't convince me

Video has a black and white filter on it I think. Looks like another chrono with contrasting subdials - must be the new in-house movement.

[Mrngrz46]

Can you see if the time and chrono button are aligned like in the roc?

[masterserg]

If they drop an in-house after releasing the novelties and after a bunch of people bought them, it would be a pretty sh*t move ... though I imagine pricing will be a lot higher. Still .. I don't understand pissing off your fans (and customers ... case in point post # 11 above).

I guess there is always a first, but I agree with jem7v ... they just don't give a rat's ass. It would be sad.

Audemars Piguet CEO's, François-Henry Bennahmias, hinted at a near-term arrival of an in house chronograph movement in February 2017

[kingofthehill]

Would a new chronograph likely be based on the 3120 movement, or do we anticipate AP would also be replacing this? I guess it's not too old and is generally well regarded, no?

The 3120 is not a chrono movement so I don't believe there would be any connection. Then again, I know very little about movements and watchmaking.

If they drop an in house ROC a month after SIHH releases hit shelves instead of waiting until SIHH 2018....they are complete A holes. I already barely trust them given their unstable pricing models. This would be nuts and a bonafide slap in the face to recent buyers.

[AK797]

Surely the new inhouse would be trumpeted proudly at SIHH, and not released back alley style like this. More likely it's just a special edition, like the Italy.

[code.]

I agree- special editions can pop up off schedule

They just posted a gif on twitter. It's got solid case back. Nothing to see here.

Probably spot on Neil. Hopefully it's a good one.

[GoingPlaces]

In-house is long overdue.

Might be this. Love the ROC Italy though.

You agreed with me? I need to document this.

Can't wait!!!

I think you are right Neil. They would be stupid not to use SIHH to showcase a new movement.

There was an advertisement on Facebook for a NYC boutique exclusive ROC that popped up recently.
