Dinner with David
It is always a pleasure to talk with David von Gunten (AP CEO of Greater China). He's such an affable and easily approachable fellow.
Before the festivities.
Let's see what's on the menu.
I chose the wagyu beef cheek.
Of course, the main entree is not on the menu but on display:
Of course, the main entree is not on the menu but on display:
the all new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in rose gold...
...and stainless steel.
The master watch maker looks so focused...
...especially with us drunken sods leering at him in the background!
Wore my Skeleton to the event.
This is the Royal Oak that started it all: Series A.
The first tourbillon with an exposed front dial.
Mmmm...
Time to try on the Perpetual Calendar for myself. As expected, it's quite heavy.

The moon phase indicator is just stunning!
The Concept Chronograph Tourbillon in red gold.
Jules Audemars Chronometer
Saving the best for last - the Royal Oak Laptimer Michael Shumacher!!

Extremely light for such a beast with a carbon case.
Not sure whether you can see it, but the bezel is curved.
With 3...I repeat - 3 column wheels!! (though I count only 2...)
I went to an exclusive AP dinner and all I got was this crummy keychain...
...just kidding. I had a wonderful time!

Sincere thanks for sharing the event with us.
You definitely were able to see some exceptional timepieces.
Nice to see you again psychotic!
It was a fun evening for sure and you took some great shots! David and Michael (historian) from AP were on excellent form! We drank them out of white wine, very impressive. No shots of the RD? I have one or two, but are we not allowed to post here?
