Agreed, lovely pieces, the JA.
As for the Kaws Concept, let’s say it’s just not for me…
Oh how I was looking for one of the Bolshoi Jules Audemars
Are there any to be had? Gorgeous piece.
I’m afraid not, but couldn’t be sure.
I’ve had to dig to find proper photos, which led me to some not translated Russian sites. So I couldn’t read/understand what was written. And I didn’t come across any offer.
One should be able to source some in Russia…
But it takes a lot more effort nowadays 🤷🏻♂️
I personally find the case of the Code interesting.
I like the Jules Audemars model better, but I’m sur the enamel dial of the Code must be pretty amazing in real life, especially through the curved crystal.
I like the look of the Code, but for 3 hands and a date...
...it 'seems' far too thick. AP says 10.7mm but I have to say, it does not look like it.
Well it isn’t thin, but when I had the opportunity
to try on both a first gen regular model and the perpetual calendar (which is gorgeous with its aventurine dial) I wasn’t too bothered by the thickness. It’s reasonable and part of the modern design.
Which is kind of sad...
...why have a thick watch when it can be thinner? There is no artistry or difficulty in making thick watches.
Thanks for the reminder. I remember them, but seldom see them.
Good pieces, all around.
Indeed, and they’re powered by the 2120 caliber
which is so significant historically.
