Don Justino's watch. Another marvel from his collection. 














Because there is a splendid life outside the Royal Oak... 

Best,

An exquisite piece with a loud escapement!

Putting this watch down on your nightstand and you'll be able to hear it ticking all night!

I love the polished barrel wheels on the back.

I have no idea how they polish those scalloped barrel wheels in the back with that curvature. I find that amazing. I'm guessing some sort of pear wood disc in a special shape.

Indeed. Incredible details.

I was wondering...

The first night, I was wondering, what is this strange sound I was hearing. I thought maybe one of the water pipes in the house was open. Then I thought some more... It's not a water sound. Could it be coming from outside? Some neighbor with some strange ... 

Yes. The sound didn't bother me after I figured out it came from the watch.

The unusual sound is one of the many likable and endearing quirks about this watch. The sound isn't offensively loud, you can only hear it in a quiet environment, like a bedroom. It's not intrusive. The other quirk about this watch is that the escapement ... 

Big +1 👍

My favorite watch I never knew existed...

...until you (I think) posted some pix a while ago. The guilloche from the dial side is spectacular...

You really need to see and hold this one in your hand to fully appreciate it my friend. The dial is solid gold and then hand guilloché is applied with a rose lathe...

The combination of the white enamel dial, engine turned guilloché on a solid gold base plate, incredible and patented AP 6hz Escapement, movement done and finished by AP Renaud Papi, and the solid platinum case honestly just doesn't get any better. This i... 

+1! On all counts.

Huge fan of this one.

Unfortunately, way too big for me to pull it off

I understand.

 
 By: amanico : November 3rd, 2022-17:49

I love how the case and movement blends uniformly together.

A silver pond with the main and seconds hand dials as mere water lilies. And perhaps the hairspring as a koi? 😆

What a romantic analogy!

I just have too much imagination when it comes to watches!

I see! Excellent!

Agree, there is so much more amazing and beautiful APs outside the ROs

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : November 2nd, 2022-20:22
And this is a amazing example why 👌🏻🤩

100% my friend 👍

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : November 2nd, 2022-21:09

And rightly so!

An AP grail, from a period when these were regularly available in non-octagonal cases

Some of the Millenaries were to die for.

LOL, truly a 💣 🤣
