The Artistry Of Horology: Audemars Piguet Watches At Art Basel Switzerland
Last year in 2013, Audemars Piguet inaugurated its first Art Basel show. The storied Swiss watch maker began its initial five year contract with the world-renowned art industry event whose conventions take place in cities such as Miami and Hong Kong. Nevertheless, Art Basel began in the city of Basel, Switzerland, which also happens to be the longstanding home of Baselworld �C the premier annual watch and jewelry show those of us in the watch industry regularly attend. Art Basel continues to hold annual conventions in its home city in Switzerland, and is often regarded as the world's most important art industry gathering.Ironically, Audemars Piguet does not display their new watch products at the Baselworld event in Basel each year (any longer), but rather at the SIHH event along with the Richemont Group brands in Geneva (though Audemars Piguet is an independent brand and not part of the Richemont Group). That makes Art Basel the annual occasion for Audemars Piguet to show off their par

Royal Oak Incoming - HELP
Hi everyone, i'm a long time lurker on this forum looking for some help.I'm about to purchased a Royal Oak Chrono Pink Gold w/Leather strap Ref: 26320OR.OO.D002CR.01. I LOVE the watch, i just have an issue with fitment. I have a 6.25 wrist and rock a Pam 233 daily with the short strap with no problems. When i tried on the AP at the boutique it fit a little lose at the tightest setting but more importantly the clasp was digging into my wrist on the side. I guess my Q is if i'm looking to get a short strap will that significantly change the way the watch fits on my wrist? Will the clasp move down a bit to the bottom of my wrist as a result?I appreciate you help in advance. Here are some photos below of my wrist with an AP.

How tight do you wear your watch?
I recently took out a link in my 5711, it's a pet peeve when the watch rolls around my wrist, but now it's like so tight to a point it's strangling my wrist, but good news no more wrist rolling around action. I am trying this method for a week and see how it goes. If it continues to be an annoyance I will have to go back to the AD and add the link back.

Just a static shot
of a blue one.

What do I get next?
As we slide into 2018, I'm pondering my next watch purchase. Do I stick with Rolex/Tudor, or venture into another brand? A few things I know..... I want a sport watch, I do not want a hulk (ordered it....green was a no go.....ad sold to another guy), and I'd prefer it not cost a fortune. Some of you know that a big part of my watch selections revolve around the whims of my little girls, which makes things pretty fun, and generally they have great taste. But at this point color tends to be the deciding factor with the youngest digging blue and the oldest a purple fan..... my current collection includes a BLNR (which is just about the perfect watch in my eye) and BBN as I sold off my EXPII last summer and haven't looked back. But I do need a replacement..... so considering the following........A. 16710 Pepsi (oldest loves it but wears small to me)B. Moonwatch + Red Grape OPC. Pelagos LB + Red Grape OP (but would I wear the OP or just placating a little girl? Hmm..)D. Either of the above
