Some photos of the AP Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon "Companion"
The artist KAWS is not my personal cup of tea, but I find interest in the materials, case, strap, and movement. I do credit the creativity of the figure being trapped inside the case, seemingly trying to get out, while his heart beats away. But it is everything else about the watch that interest me more.
I don't understand why a brand launches an entirely new watch and movement in collaboration with an artist. I think AP would be better served by releasing such a creation for themselves. But there is no denying they went all in here, instead of just changing a dial or materials.

So silly I kind of like it...
...but would have to be crazy rich to even think about buying...
I truly applaud the originality and creativity....
despite not personally caring for this artist's work. This newly redesigned Concept from AP is my favorite watch design they have ever made. Unsurprisingly so, since the original, barely wearable, Concept was likewise my firm favorite. Thanks a bunch for ...
As I said previously
the bottom of the creature's chin looks like a scrotum sack with each individual testicle just poking out-sorry the case looks good but that thing is ridiculous
you're a better man than I
as I only see a scrotum head attached to an alien ball sack
This watch is a metaphor for AP itself. Eternally trapped within
the Royal Oak with no way to escape. And once the Royal Oak stops being worn, their heart stops beating too.
perhaps the group here is not the target audience 🤔
I love companions. I think they are quite original. KAWS work has its fans, just a different group.
Like it ok not, but the way AP is exploring new ways is impressive.
Just compare the efforts and creativity they have put into this limited edition and compare it with the launch of the Cubitus. Cheers, Martin
I don’t get the x crossed out eyes art stuff
But I’m not a bitcoin millionaire so not the audience here. The movement definitely looks different from anything I recall. I’ll go back to reading and dreaming about these cool old VC and PP watches that have been posted 👍
It's not for everybody..
But I get it and if I was a KAWS collector I would totally jump on it. Lots of street art collaborations these days, so it caters to a more hip audience, especially in Asia. Hublot for all its flaws did a really nice job with Murakami. In the end, watchma...
