Watch Spotting: Audemars Piguet CEO Francois Bennahmias Wearing A Royal Oak Extra-Thin Tourbillon At Art Basel
Dropping by the Audemars Piguet lounge at Art Basel this week, we just had to see what the man in charge, CEO Francois Bennahmias, had on his wrist. While he could be sporting something much more complicated or over-the-top, we caught glimpses of something much more understated from under Bennahmias' cuff. It turns out he was wearing the Royal Oak Extra-Thin Tourbillon, a piece that combines the history of the Royal Oak and the robustness of a true sport watch with the complexity of an ultra-thin tourbillon, perfectly encapsulating what makes Audemars Piguet so interesting today. 2 OF 5 Audemars Piguet is in its second year of sponsorship with Art Basel, the world's leading fair for high-end contemporary art, that, funnily enough, takes place in the very same exhibition halls as Baselworld. While I'll admit it was a bit strange walking through the familiar buildings looking at paintings and sculptures instead of the usual horological curiosities, Audemars Pigu

In NYC for the day wearing RO 15300!!!
Had to come to my old home town and favorite city in the world for business today. I was right next to Ground Zero. Very sad memories but nice to see the buildings rising up in memory of those who lost their lives. Couldn't go to the AP boutique but at least stopped by one of my favorite restaurants, the Peking Duckhouse. Wish I could've stayed the night!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. Watches are the new currency!

Let's see some movement pics everyone!!!
I have always loved watches with visible movements, so much that I even put a sapphire case back on my sub c LN, I know the movement is nothing special so it might be considered stupid, but it was nice to look at from time to time.I have fallen in love with the 5712, and probably 50% of that love is due to the beautiful movement, I am more than sure that when I will have it I will be looking for a few hours a week at the movement with tears in my eyes If the 5712 didn't have a see through case back I am sure I wouldn't have ordered it.There are a few older Nautilus without the see through and even if they are nice it just doesn't do it for me.Of course the most beautiful movements are usually the ones of hand wound watches, but it's most of the time very expensive pieces.After getting my 5712, maybe in 1-2 years, I am thinking of getting either a 5167 SS on tropical strap, and once again 50% of the interest is the beautiful movement, if not the Aquanaut then probably an Audemars Pigue
