Audemars Piguet

Jules Audemars Metropolis

Feb 03, 2024,17:05 PM

A watch that doesn't get the airtime that it deserves. I was always a huge fan of the Jules Audemars line. The chrono, the Metropolis, amongst others.

I love the design of the dial also, very unique numbers that just work beautifully.

Thanks for reminding me of it!

I like the red 8. Surprised is called orchard road. Singapore orchard road?

By: iceheller 1945 ✌️ : February 3rd, 2024-09:59

Yep.

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-10:02

...

It is also called lucky 8.in Asia 8 is same lucky as 7 in Europe

By: Ajas : February 3rd, 2024-10:04

I knew for the meaning of the 8. As well as for the meaning of the 4... ;)

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-10:04

My car plates in Singapore had double 4 , same in Malaysia now. Nobody wants to drive around you and you always get a way. Very safe

By: Ajas : February 3rd, 2024-10:13

LOL!

By: Ajas : February 3rd, 2024-10:25

Great way to avoid traffic jams. You should patent that. ;)

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-11:16

Tried to apply for tripple fours plates , but insurance fees skyrocketed

By: Ajas : February 3rd, 2024-11:52

LOL!!!!

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-15:52

By: hora12reborn : February 3rd, 2024-17:59

I used to live just off Orchard Road hence Singapore Edition for me. Love all but first one is my favourite.

By: Ajas : February 3rd, 2024-09:59

Easy answer for me ☺️

By: InHavenPro : February 3rd, 2024-10:14

By: 1WatchMan : February 3rd, 2024-21:28

The original star wheel, one of my grails

By: andrea~ : February 3rd, 2024-12:30

2/1/1/1 for the Orchard Road, now.

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-15:53

All compelling but my vote goes for Juan Pablo Montoya first, then the modern Star wheel, the Orchard Road.

By: ZSHSZ : February 3rd, 2024-13:05

2/1/1/1/1 for th Orchard Road, with your vote.

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-15:54

All are my favorites, such a wonderful collection of APs

By: SALMANPK : February 3rd, 2024-13:23

LOL, Greedy you.

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-15:54

HAHAHA, if I had to choose one as the King of Cool, it is the Stainless Steel Millenary Starwheel

By: SALMANPK : February 3rd, 2024-16:15

Such a pleasure this watch S ...

Tie 2 Orchard Road / Steel Millenary Starwheel and PC Skeleton, now.

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-16:21

All great contenders but I love love the Perpetual Skeleton...

By: pfang56 : February 3rd, 2024-15:47

Was probably the first reason I jumped into AP two decades ago. Thankful to have the modern version, looking for a perfect vintage one Peter ...

Tie between the Orchard Road and the RO PC Skeleton, now. Thank you, mon ami.

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-15:55

A little-known fact about the Limited Edition Montoya: Richard Mille was one of the designers of this iteration of the Royal Oak Offshore!

By: Jim14 : February 3rd, 2024-16:42

2 Tie OR/ PC Skeleton / Starwheel / and JPM, now

Jules Audemars Metropolis

By: ik2000 : February 3rd, 2024-17:05

A watch that doesn't get the airtime that it deserves. I was always a huge fan of the Jules Audemars line. The chrono, the Metropolis, amongst others. I love the design of the dial also, very unique numbers that just work beautifully. Thanks for reminding...

And let's add the Metropolis to the Tie wagons!

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-17:24

I jump on the Tie wagon too and choose the Metropolis.

By: hora12reborn : February 3rd, 2024-18:00

Tie broken by the Metropolis!

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-22:19

It is so easy for me

By: MilDiver : February 3rd, 2024-18:14

First, leave aside those that you can't read with naked eyes.... ..you're left with the ROOS's, But in all honesty, the JPM is my pick. I still remember seeing them, with that unique strap and the then not common flat chrono pushers. the Montoya win for m...

Metropolis and JPM are ahead.

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-22:20

If I have to choose from these models, purely on "King of Cool"...

By: MichaelC : February 3rd, 2024-21:05

Without hesitation I pick the new Starwheel. Not because I have one, because it is incredibly COOL!! If I had to pick another model at the top of my mind, I will say ceramic double balance. Don't own one, would love to one day! ...

Metropolis, JPM and Code 11.59: Another tie!

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-22:21

I think my favorite is going to be the RO perpetual skeleton, closely followed by the new Code star wheel

By: 1WatchMan : February 3rd, 2024-21:30

But I would be pretty happy with any one of them 🤪

And now comes the RO PC Skeleton for a new tie with the Metropolis, the JPM and the Starwheel Code 11.59. What a game!

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-22:23

Starwheel for me!

By: loopsandsounds : February 3rd, 2024-22:37

Love the RO but not so much the ROO due to size. Always found the Jules Audemars line horologically interesting but didn’t like the aesthetics. The Starwheel, including the new Code version is Uber cool and unique IMHO.

Starwheel ahead by one vote, then!

By: amanico : February 3rd, 2024-22:39

The Metropolis or the PC Skeleton for me.

By: bruckner4 : February 4th, 2024-01:45

My yellow Star Wheel could use a complicated friend. ...

Starwheel and Metropolis: New tie. The others are just one place behind.

By: amanico : February 4th, 2024-07:15

The JPM was my FIRST ROO and my entry into the world

By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : February 4th, 2024-09:13

Of AP so my vote goes to JPM but for me the real King Of Cool is hands down the RBII No offshore comes close

Another new tie between the Metropolis, the Starwheel and the JPM, now. Thanks, Mo.
