3-Watch Thursday #16
Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet, Longines 13ZN and Grand Seikos Galore!
Hello Team!
A shorter one this week as I’ve been super busy with work and sport (lol), but as ever there are 3 articles/things in the watch world I enjoyed this week.
As ever thank you for reading! I really appreciate it and welcome any feedback.
Without further a do let’s get straight into it.
Inside the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet: A Visit to AP’s New Museum
I was so pleased to see this article released on Strictly Vintage Watches recently by good friend Charlie detailing his visit to the AP Museum.
The photos are Perth’s (@edinbrughtimepieces), and the story that Charlie tells through his words and images is brilliant.
The brand museums in Geneva are somewhere I hope to visit in future and through this piece of work I enjoyed seeing the variety of examples they had on display.
From retailer-signed pieces through to coin watches, it seems the AP Museum has everything.
To read all about it and support Charlie, you can check out the whole piece here.
Is The Longines 13ZN Still Collectible?
Rather than focusing on the article this week by ACM, I spotted another new thing from ACM on Instagram.
A collage and album were posted with quotes and images from the article.
Not revolutionary, but I’ve only spotted ACM do this for interviews with people in industry.
In short, I’m a fan.
It was an excellent way of summarising the content and leading readers to reading the whole article if they wanted to.
The article can still be found here and it’s well worth a read as ever.
Just go check out the post on Instagram, I think you’ll like it too.
Grand Seikos Galore! Japan Meets Brooklyn At The 2022 GS9 Collectors' Summit
I absolutely loved scrolling through this photo report by Logan Baker over at Hodinkee this week.
I think I can count on one hand the number of Grand Seiko watches I’ve ever seen in person, but from those interactions, I’m a fanboy.
Seeing this report left me with more questions than answers about watches I never knew existed.
Nonetheless, it looked like a great event!
You can see the report here.
That’s all for this week.
Apologies it’s a short one.
Once again, any feedback is appreciated :))
