Very cool!
Thanks for showing this to us.
I very much like some aspects of this - the colour scheme with hints of rose gold, the evolution of the Concept case.
The technical achievement is quite something, obviously. It's not a complication I'm personally attracted to but it's remarkable nonetheless.
Of course I think it goes without saying that there are millions of people on this planet who are fond of Michael and maintain hope for his full recovery from his skiing accident.
That said, I hope you'll forgive me for finding one bit of language in the press release amusing: "It is the first motorsport-specific watch to feature a complication imagined by the celebrated driver..."
I know that the people who write this stuff are paid for hyperbole, but crikey - has MC come up with OTHER watch complications that AREN'T motorsport-specific?!?

Kudos to AP for its technical achievement.
This new Schumacher is not one that I would ever particularly covet, but it's a mechanical masterpiece. I marvel at the movement. Credit to AP for its dedication to the craft in developing such a timepiece. M4
Nice but...

Water resistance
What's the water resistance? I am not in love with this new Concept case design. I think previous iterations looked nicer.
