Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Laptimer Michael Schumacher

The Royal Oak Concept Laptimer Michael Schumacher from Audemars Piguet features a 44m case made from forged carbon, with the bezel, case edges and caseback made from titanium, and the pushpieces from ceramic and pink gold. We love the attention to detail in its design, an homage to the man who inspired it. Seven stars are marked on the left side of the case in honour of Michael Schumacher’s seven F1 World Championships, and his celebrated ‘MS’ monogram appears on the laptimer pushpiece. With only 221 pieces made, in recognition of the F1 World Championship point-winning races in which he competed.

Antonie Preziuso Tourbillon of Tourbillons

Antoine Preziuso likes to say, “whatever is known is finished, whatever is unknown is infinite.” It’s no surprise that the latest creation from Antonie Preziuso Genève,the Tourbillon of Tourbillons featuresthree tourbillons on a revolving plate, which resonate like three hearts beating in unison, producing somewhat of a ‘mechanical ballet’ that involves challenges of incredible complexity, creating a timepiece that is packed with poetry and a vibrant homage to the watchmaker’s finest compilation.
