Sleepy starwheel...share your wristshots!!
One of the best releases by AP in the last decade. Now after visiting Le Brassus, looking outside the starry sky from the Hotel d'Horologers, I totally understand and feel the inspiration and genesis of the Starwheel in real life!
There are rumors going around that this model was recently discontinued (it's not on the website anymore) - which would be a total shame, but I am hopeful new models with this outstanding mechanism is introduced in the future!
Cheers
Peter

Whoa! Maybe it's an inspiration for the next?
The clear disks and the simplicity of no second hands is divine! Peter
Nothing specific, but I don't think they will let this fantastic model go after such a short run.
I can envision lots of ways to go here. Different material is obvious. What about a lumed version? More of a starry night Starwheel? I can see it...
I visited the AP boutique in Geneva last month. The very charming and informative sales person there hinted at future Starwheel versions forthcoming. No details were given though.
I certainly hope they don't add a date to future versions. I could envision them doing a version in rose or yellow gold with a black dial. That being said, I was quite taken with them in person and I am actually looking at a 'used' Starwheel tomorrow, tha...
Wow. I checked AP’s website - as you mentioned - Starwheel no longer on there.
Strange they removed it.
I’m super lucky
To get one before it changes to a different colour/material/design, as I think it’s as perfect as it is right now ...
