Not for me.

I was also at the event in AP House and did get to see it IRL. Trying not to be biased here given I own two black ceramic RO’s, this one feels different. It’s less everyday and more of a once in a while in a large collection watch. Whilst color feels toy-like, in AP they did stress the challenges they had to endure to be able to make the blue ceramic from theory into reality. Apparently it’s super hard to get the blue hue uniform in every watch. Would I buy it? Probably not, but I can understand it’s charm for some

What’s the big deal ? Iam not sure but a great fun expensive toy.. ...  

It's cool. But not a classic!

It's cool for today, but would I still like it after a few years? Possibly not. It's too in-the-moment.

Can I ask why the time only instead of the chrono version? Also, what did you think of the beige smoked dial piece with ceramic middle?

I have two code 11.59 in rose gold and white gold

The pattern of the dial looks great on the time only version . As for Chrono the beige smoke is nice but it’s too much happening for me

I Like It

But I like strange watches and colorful watches, and this is both. Scratch resistance and perpetual calendars also are high on my priority list. But I suspect it's a short-run niche model for people like me and unlikely to become part of the canon. Green ... 

Not for me.

Special today maybe strange tomorrow - but it's your wrist not mine Would prefer the white over the blue one! Peter

I don't think I like all ceramic watches unless they are black

If this watch were done on a titanium case and bracelet, still keeping the blue bezel, I would be more intrigued. Especially with grey subdials.

Had to do this...

My ideal ceramic model would be a 16202 in grey cermet Second would be black ceramic. With 100m of water resistance. I don't think I would ever take that one off Cheers Peter ...  

Congrats sir. I love it.

A new kind of beast here!

Rare and amazing 😻

 
 By: Horology75 : February 28th, 2023-06:07
I would be inclined towards time only 41mm RO . Found the beast to be small on my worst and sits very high . Perpetual out of the budget and the later too small .

WOW ! so many
