Thank you ArmisE x 1000!!
I'm super happy that you also received your ceramic piece - that APxMusic piece is equally if not more audacious than any ceramic piece in the catalogue. Love the material's lightness, coolness, and stealthiness - and now we are ceramic brethren - lookin forward to sharing the journey with you!!
Cheers
Peter
Is this the end or just the beginning?
Wow. After 20 years of collecting AP, beginning with the Beast, and a multitude of incredible timepieces, boutiques, Houses, representatives, and collectors, I am absolutely thrilled and humbled at the opportunity to get this incredible piece - the Openwo...
That’s mind blowing!!!
A paragon of mechanical engineering and craftsmanship!! You’ll never get tired of looking at it.
Agreed - it's a micro-mechanical marvel
And one that certainly gave me sleepless nights thinking of it. Cheers Peter
New chapters
New horizons. AP is a candidate. So if i’ve got questions, i know you as the best expert and Michael C as sidekick.
No way - MichaelC is the original inspiration..
And certainly it was MichaelC's plentiful posts on Thepurists that kickstarted my interest with AP many decades ago if I humbly say so. Certainly with the beast and the end of days and survivor - MichaelC's posts were incredible. Amazing how this collecti...
You are too kind my Friend.
I take no offense to be called an AP sidekick (although I do muse slightly!). I have collected this brand 21 years now. I might not have all the latest and greatest releases, but I do know just a bit about the brand ;-)
Too humble superhero!
Thanks again always for your wisdom and expertise and humour over these 21 years - you are a true AP Ambassador! Cheers Peter
Indeed - WOW and OMG come into mind...
Still can't believe it on my wrist. Cheers Peter ...
You are absolutely right...
Crazy how many times after acquiring a personal grail and felt the journey may end - but time and time again I am becoming even more excited for the next chapter. Many thanks for the note! Take care Peter
Absolutely entrancing piece! 🤩🤩🤩
I could get lost in this dial for a verrrry long time, beautiful! And the AP ceramic case is out of this world. Congratulations x 1000 👏🏼 Wear it in the best of health.
Thank you ArmisE x 1000!!

Merci monsieur!!
Now I wish I can join the Nico master class of watch photography to showcase the movement!! Cheers and thanks for the feedback!! Peter
Appreciate it!!
Hard to think about what could be the next model - but as shared earlier - this is more like the start rather than the end of a collecting journey. Cheers Peter
SO SO SO very happy for you Peter!
Your dream come true and sounds like just a beginning. How wonderful. I can feel your excitement. Enjoy!
Your note means so much to me!
Your collection has always been next level and a representation of "the next step" I aspire to Thanks so much for sharing your incredible timepieces and inspiring all of us!! Cheers Peter
Peter - WOW!
I have always admired your dedication to the brand. You clearly come from a place of passion, and that is what this hobby is all about! This piece is utterly stunning. I'm afraid my eyesight makes it difficult to read the registers without glasses, but ot...
Thank you so much MichaelC!!!
It is truly an honor and privilege to get this post from you - as shared before you have been an inspiration to me and I only hope one day to meet in person. I agree on the registers - it does seem to be less legible than the other Ceramic perpetual, but ...
It is my pleasure, Peter. Your AP passion stands out!
And you share these incredible nuggets in such a humble fashion with us. Thank you for your continued contributions to the forum!
Thanks so so much!!
Certainly when I first put it on..I did express some other superlatives (like OMG, and Holy S...) but definitely I've been incredibly humbled and in heaven with this masterpiece Thanks for the note!!! Cheers Peter
Massive congrats!
Super stoked to see this on a true AP collector’s wrist! I too am waiting on one…but no idea how real my chances are. I’ve gone the route of vintage first and picked up a 25636 and a 5548. I will say the 25636 is sublime. It’s older and more collectible I...
Agree - always trying to find the right vintage piece...
And I love the old fonts and especially the area around the moon phase. Interestingly if I look at my new piece and the vintage pieces, the polishing beveling finishing for the movement are extraordinarily similar Anyway, my situation was a bit serendipit...
Wow 🤩 Huge congratulations 🍾 Peter !
Agree with you that this is a new beginning ! Great that you have decided to focus more efforts and resources on a brand to better appreciate its history 👍. Continue to enjoy your AP journey !
Thank you GLau!!!
It's nice to be able to shift from dabbling across brands to now focus and clarity. I'm excited at this new journey, which may also have a positive effect on my back account Cheers Peter
