Introducing: The Piaget Emperador Coussin XL 700P (And An Old Japan Vs. Switzerland Controversy Revi
Piaget has just announced its first new piece for 2016, which we're going to see live at the SIHH in January. However, we've got a first look at it for you, right now, and it's something you might not have expected. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Piaget's in-house quartz caliber 7P – the company's first in-house quartz movement – it has released a hybrid quartz/mechanical caliber in its Emperador. Caliber 7P by the way was a very important step for Piaget and its small size (especially relative to the first commercial Swiss quartz caliber, Beta 21) made it possible for the firm to do amazing pieces like this one. The new caliber 700P is very different, however: it uses a conventional mechanical going train, powered by a micro rotor that winds the mainspring. At the end of the gear train there's no escapement; instead, there is a generator whose speed of rotation is controlled by a quartz timing package. The micro-rotor is at the 9-10 o'cloc

Safari on bracelet picture request
Hi guys. I recently joined the forum and let me first of all say what a great place this is!I have been a long time admirer of Audemars Piguet but haven't looked seriously at adding one to my collection (mainly Rolexes) until joining the forum and learning more about AP and seeing all the beautiful offshores you guys have. Not looking to buy for a few months as only just decided to get an AP and want to spend some time thinkng over what to get. I'm wanting to get something that looks equally good on bracelet and strap. Currently thinking Safari as I love it on the brown strap but haven't seen any pictures on a bracelet. Have any of you put your Safari on a bracelet and if so would you mind posting some pictures so I can see how it looks. ThanksRuss
