To understand why there were ONLY 8 Alpine Eagle 8F made for Art in Time in Monte Carlo you would have to understand the history of the boutique and who it belongs to.
KF Scheufele owns the boutique Art in Time in MC and my buddy is the director. The boutique caters ONLY to Independents such as Greubel Forsey, Urwerk, Ressence, MB&F, Ferdinand Berthoud (KFS's baby), etc...and recently picked up Akrivia...yes I said Akrivia. They are 1 of 3 or 4 points of sale of Akrivia in the entire world!!
Because this boutique is so dear to KFS, he allowed Yohann to make a VERY limited number of 8 pieces specifically for this boutique and their loyal customers or fans, I being one of them.
So H posted 1 just below and I have # 8 of 8 which I will pick up some time soon.
I do agree with the others and say that I wish the movement was better finished but the overall package is visually appealing and offers something a little different than the other SS sports watches currently heating up the market.
Sadly, Chopard does not get the love they deserve as their LUC line can compete with the very best quite easily.
Once I pick up my AE 8F, I will make a post about it in further detail. 😉
