SIHH Preview: Audemars Piguet Millenary Minute Repeater
Audemars Piguet created minute repeater and grand strike pocket watches from its founding in 1875, and they claim the first minute repeater wristwatch, produced in 1892. The new Millenary Minute Repeater incorporates the manufacture’s newest technical developments: the AP escapement and a double balance-spring, as well as the striking mechanism and its gongs.

Last week was the usual sweat fest, when the class finished I gathered my things and headed downstairs to change.A few hours later as I am getting ready for bed, I went to take my watch off and my head swirled...I called the studio, long closed for the night but left a message. The next morning the same thing, left another message. A friend is close friends with the owner/yoga teacher and she texted him.It was a beautiful day for skiing, nothing I could do at this point but make the best of it. Around noon my cell rang, they had my watch all along. Some other yogi came upon it and turned it in the night before. I was given the
