Audemars Piguet launches new watches, from Royal Oak to self-winding chronograph
Including the new platinum Royal Oak “Jumbo” with a striking green dial.
Sitting on a sofa in a stylish lounge, overlooking the snow-capped mountains outside Audemars Piguet’s manufacturing plant in Le Brassus, Switzerland, CEO François François -Henry Bennahmias) and complication supervisor Michael Friedman (Michael Friedman) spent two hours showing that 2021 is more coming in the fall). They have a lot of mechanical marvels to show, but they also emphasized the company’s new partnership with Marvel Comics. Although there is no news about what the new joint venture will bring, it is said that it was inspired by Bennahmias’ 11-year friendship with actor Don Cheadle, who played the War Machine in the Avengers film series. But when asked who his favorite character in the comic empire was, Ben Namias told reporters present that he felt that his personality was more in line with the Hulk.
From the perspective of the new series, he kept the paleness and bluff of superheroes in mind when designing. The big news is the launch of the time and date-only Royal Oak “Jumbo” ultra-thin platinum sunburst green dial, replacing the brand’s typical waffle pattern tapestry dial. Tourbillon and Chronograph models also launched four other green Royal Oaks with tapestry dials. The sturdy Royal Oak for divers and the more bulky Royal Oak Offshore Self-winding Tourbillon with a flyback chronograph will also be offered, as well as the Diamond and Pure Gold versions of the Royal Oak.
However, although the Royal Oak continues to be the star of Audemars Piguet, the company is still optimistic about the Code 11.59 series, launching two new chronographs with ceramic middle cases. Although the series has only been launched for two years, Bennahmias must point out a screen that shows about 30 production changes. So far, Code 11.59 is still another self of the brand, more in line with Bruce Banner than the Hulk, but real-life superheroes are not formed overnight.
