So glad to see this...

I'm so pleased to see that this watch is now in a museum for all to admire.  I was concerned when it was auctioned that it would go to a private collection and would never be seen again.  But thankfully it went to a museum where all can admire it if they make the trek to the Vallé.  Oh!  And I really like that rabbit!  The Vallé is truly a Wonderland!

...someone could ask AP to 'uncenter' their bolts and they'd have a one-off. Be bold like Lagerfeld : )

Wow! Lucky man!

Thanks for sharing those great pics. The one that caught my attention the most is the original drawing from Genta, the bolt heads are not aligned, now I wonder, was there ever a model, even a prototype, with such a feature?

Interesting in all skin structures

I hope Mary can find the chemistry with the iconic AP soon. For me there is much to discover. I had a three years ago a bit of a disappointed view on an Oak. It can be the trader put the Oak in a dusty corner where the watch lost the possibility to shine,...
