This past Thursday, on the eve of the traditional Swiss watch industry vacation, a longtime friend visited the watchmakers of the Manufacture Audemars Piguet to get an up-close look at the watch bearing his name: the Millenary Quincy Jones, which was presented at the SIHH 2010. For several years, Audemars Piguet and Quincy Jones have been associated in developing Project Q , aimed at raising political and public awareness of young people's need for self-expression and the means that must be provided to ensure they fulfill their potential.

Continue waiting for 15202 or look for 15450 blue dial?
Hi all,Did anyone have recent luck with purchasing 15202 through an AD in the US? You can PM me if you want. I have been number 1 on my AD's waitlist since Jan 2017 but haven't received that watch as yet. My AD mentioned last year that he will continue to get at least 1 15202 in a year from the leftover allocation of the boutiques. He used to receive more 15202s before it became boutique exclusive. However, now he is not sure when and if he will get a 15202 this year.What should I do? Should I continue waiting for the 15202 or start looking for a 15450 blue dial? As background, I had a 15450 silver dial which I sold last year in order to upgrade to 15202. The 15450 wore slightly small on my 6.4~ flat wrist, more like a 38-39 mm size dress watch than a sports watch. I have tried the gold 15202 few times and it wears fine. In an ideal scenario, 15202 will be my first choice but now I am not sure if I can get it from my AD.I understand that 15450 blue dial is also boutique exclusive but i
5 month old gray market Pam 90 not keeping time
I bought a brand new Pam 90 BNIB from a trusted brick and mortar jeweler on August 31st of 2016. I recently downloaded an App called toolwatch and checked the timing of my 2002 Y serial (probably never serviced) Two tone Bluesy Submariner, New Breitling Super Avenger 2 and my Pam 90. The other two are within COSC specs but the Panerai seems to be off by 50 seconds or so. Now Im wondering if Im not measuring properly because of the small seconds hand in the 9 o clock area of the watch (tried a few times and never within COSC specs). I have the unfilled warranty card and everything that came with the watch including the 3 boxes etc. Can I take it to the local Panerai Boutique and have them check to see if its running within specs?n
