Audemars Piguet Announces New, Ultramodern Museum
Audemars Piguet, the oldest luxury watch company still owned by its founding families, has announced plans to extend its historic headquarters building to incorporate a new museum called the Maison des Fondateurs, a “radically contemporary” new structure that will be naturally integrated into the surrounding Vall��e de Joux landscape.Audemars Piguet inaugurated its first museum in 1992 inside the original Audemars family home, and later expanded it to the entire house in 2004. Its collection includes more than 1,300 timepieces that are part of the brand’s heritage and span 250 years of history. This year, the museum enters a new, transformative phase. Audemars Piguet has enlisted the Copenhagen- and New York-based architectural firm BIG CPH to design the extension, which will add a new 25,800 square-foot structure incorporating exhibition spaces (where nearly 400 watches will be on display) as well as workshops, reception and meeting areas, and professionally conserved

Very simply, the Oris "Der Meistertaucher" regulator is the largest watch
This spectacular underwater giant has a diameter of 49 mm, case 15,25 mm thickness and a volume of 565.2mm3. Very simply, the Oris "Der Meistertaucher" regulator is the largest watch oris has ever produced! But big is really beautiful - and practical - the Oris of the diving world.

visited NY boutique today
have been eyeing the 15450 in YG for some time now.thought it'd be too small at 37mm, relative to the jumbo.but dammit if it doesn't wear oh so nicely.have a day-date president in YG (36mm), and the 15450 feels so much more substantial on wrist. having the DD has gotten me accustomed to enjoying sub-39mm sizes.but the heft and case lugs make the 15450 wear larger than 37.unsure if having 2 YG full bracelet watches is just too much.the DD is a perennial classic, understated and gentlemanly.whilst the 15450 is pure stunning... but the size allows it to be such without having to scream outloud for attention... which, IMO, might be the case if 40mm (given my wrist isn't particularly large at 7).as nice as the OR with grey dial is, the YG with blue is the clear winner for me.

AP Millenary ( but what's the model number?)
Could someone tell me how old this Millenary is?Dad kinda forgot when he bought it :X haha. Still an awesome piece btw.I reckon the 4101 will be a great companion to this lovely piece. !IMO Millenary series is one of the most UNDER-RATED piece out there. the price on the 4101 makes me wanna go out and just GRAB ONE NOW!

Any thoughts on the 572? Trade/sell my 312?
I brought my 312 in to the local boutique for service and they suggested that I try on the 572 and the 573. Well, I just fell in love with the 573, but the price tag is So I'm now thinking about the 572, but the face is so similar to my 312, as with all other Panerai models.Has anyone purchased a 572 that can give some comments? On a side note, I think I'd want to let go of the 312 if I get a 572. It seems like the ones listed here haven't really been moving?
