Dear friends,
after some health challenges in Q1, I’m currently enjoying a restorative cure in Altaussee. The peaceful surroundings provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph in Black Ceramic.
After some technical issues that occurred shortly after purchase late last year, the watch has now been back on my wrist running flawlessly ever sinceand reminding me every day why I love this watch.
The piece blends bold aesthetics with impressive engineering:
• Black ceramic case and bracelet, virtually scratchproof and incredibly light
• Flyback chronograph powered by the in-house calibre 4404 with vertical clutch and column wheel
• Transparent sapphire caseback revealing the movement’s beautiful architecture
• 70-hour power reserve and 100m water resistance – robust, reliable, refined. 
What a watch – both on the wrist and under the loupe. 🙏
All the best
Thomas

The peaceful ambiance of Altaussee combined with the Offshore’s elegance truly aids in my recuperation. ☺️🙏
Thanks, ZSHSZ!
AP really did something special with their ceramic offerings. Quiet luxury at its best. The scenery helps amplify the appreciation!

How are you doing with your 127? Cheers (although just drinking tea and water 😁) Thomas
Still enjoying the 127 …
… and continue to admire your Hublot Essential Grey when I see pics!
That’s good! The 127 is one of the best!
I don’t dare to tell you what I did with the Hublot… 🫣
Yes….
The Hublot just didn’t get enough wrist time. And once I had the AP Royal Oak Black Ceramic, it didn’t stand a chance anymore. I always try to reduce and make sure I actually wear all my watches. So I used it to offset part of the purchase price for my ne...
Thank you, Larry!
I'm at about 85-90%, and that's a lot.🙏🙏🙏 "Stealthy"... Hmmm... I am not sure. It's not gold and blingy, but it has ENORMOUS wrist presence. ...
Of mine, too!
Never dared to imagine that I would be able to win it one day… Thank you for your nice comment! 🙏
Keep going
Sounds like a well-deserved reset. Altaussee looks to be the perfect place to recharge, and the Black Ceramic Offshore is a fitting companion for the serenity and strength of those surroundings. Absolutely stunning piece! As Churchill once said, «If you’r...

Yes, that week—the retreat week—did me a lot of good, and the place itself really felt like a source of energy. My AP was a wonderful companion here. Simply because I really, really enjoy wearing it and it’s incredibly comfortable. On the other hand, it’s...
Thank you very much, Alex!
The health retreat in Altaussee was a way to close out my health issues from the first quarter and fully recover. Of course, one week was too short, but I was able to reset wonderfully and now feel much healthier and fitter again. That’s something I’ve re...
