It's on AP's website!

I find AP a little irresponsible to make something like this.  Then again, who knows...  If people like it, then all the more power to them!  

The Black Panther one was so successful, they're going to retry the formula until they see demand wane.

Then again, someone may accuse me of having "stoic tastes."  Perhaps they're not wrong, but I'd like to remind them I definitely go out of the box too.  

'nuff said.

Incredible craftsmanship again...and did you see the Dubai "unique piece" in WG? Insane...

Anyway, prefer the split second but this one is truly special. Maybe next year they will make a Year of the Dragon version?

From what I read on Hodinkee it seems to be a mostly industrial process. The figure is CNC machined and then laser etched. At that point it is finished and painted by hand, but I can't help but compare it to (admittedly plastic) miniature models and the detailed painting work that hobbyists apply to them. I am not convinced the work put into the figure matches my expectation for an AP tourbillon at that price. In my opinion, if it was hand-engraved it would be far more interesting even if it was accompanied with a higher price.

Just like their Black Panther watch don't look at time when it's 12:00 and 6:30 and with this watch 8:45 as well.  AP's body placement with these watches suck.

I wish they had sculpted Spider-Man to be coming "through" the movement and interacting with the bridges rather than just sitting on top of the dial.  For example, have his right arm go behind the mainspring bridge and appear to be holding on to it.  I had similar thoughts with the Black Panther piece.

I like how you think!

sad isn't it?

Oh well.

That one is definitely not for me 😀

if you get it don't look at the times that I posted previously.

I like the🕷️but, frankly, is a bit too rich for my blood. I also tend to avoid AP as I know is very hard to get anything.
