IWC Portofino Watch Available On James List

Visit to the Audemars Piguet Museum. An Unforgettable Experience
As many of you know, a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit the AP Museum in Le Brassus. Here are some pictures of that unforgettable day and the rest of the story and more pictures are here. We started our journey by driving from Z��rich to Le Brassus. I switched watches a few times to send out a few tweets while on our way to Audemars Piguet. Finally we arrived at the Vall��e de Joux. After admiring the landscape we made it to the manufacture and then to the museum. What a day!

Swag!
What a great way to end the week! Came home to find this package from a great AD.
