Audemars Piguet Sevice Centre and Warranty
I'm pretty diligent about registering my purchases with the respective manufacturers. I do this for two reasons, one is for warranty and the other is for recalls. I recently had a Dyson fan recalled for a fire hazard and it was replaced with no bother to me. So it was natural that I register my AP's. This afternoon, I saw a letter from AP in our mailbox. This cover letter came in an envelope and Third year warranty stickers for my watches were enclosed. This was unexpected and a great service.

Alaska Project Speedmaster
This week, I stopped at an Omega AD that I never visited before.I found this Alaska Project in the showcase and took advantage of the opportunity to add it to my collection.

FHH, a foundation Rolex is not part of
I thought this might be interesting to know and read. In 2005 a Foundation of Haute Horlogerie (FHH) was founded in Geneva. The FHH was founded in autumn 2005 by Audemars Piguet, Girard-Perregaux and the Richemont Group. The Foundation is committed to the needs of the historical heritage of Haute Horlogerie. Its assignment is to emphasize the art and skill of their craft through intensive public relations and to develop solutions for industry-wide problems such as the lack of young people or product piracy.Reasons why Rolex is not part of this are propably very simple. Rolex is not haute horlogerie in Swiss mind, it is everyday allday watch. Other reason might be that fee's of memberships in company unions are mostly based on turnover and volume. Rolex being bigger than all the other members together, it does not make sense to join and pay over half of the total fees.Here is a link:https://.hautehorlogerie.org/en/
