    I can't get over the fact that the tourbillon is strategically positioned below T'challa's groin like a giant tourbillon testicle. Is it just me?

    At the very least, the tourbillon looks like an uncomfortable thing to sit upon :eek:

    This is just wonderful - now every time I meet someone new and they find out I'm into watches, I'll be forced to have yet another awkward conversation about how no, not all of us watch nerds are just peacocking douchebags with more money than taste.

    Hublot or Richard Mille I could understand, but it's quite disappointing to see Audemars Piguet doing the hard work of discrediting watch collecting as a passion.

    I really can’t believe this is true.....maybe they decided to have April fools on the 10 rather than the 1st.... ??

    You sure that’s not a Ball watch?

    Ok that thread title made me click. It is a bit like a nut, or like he’s laying an egg.

    I’d be curious to hear some insider thoughts from AP employees. The watchmakers, those who still have some sense of tradition and company DNA.

    You guys know it’s a concept watch which I doubt will actually go into production. Right?

    Yes. And sold for charity (the only good thing about it). We are enlightened.

    Concept is the name of the collection,but it has a list price, so it is buyable. Anyway, regular production or not, I don't see how it excuses the "big ball" design.
