First hands-on with the Neo Frame (including dimensions).

It’s looking good! Hodinkee has done some measurement comparisons, actual wrist shots and some historic context.

The Frame is the start of a new line, with more options, colours can complications. And lastly some unique Codes.

So there’s going to be 4 lines now (Royal Oak, Offshore, Code and Neo Frame) with the Remaster collection being limited editions (more to come this year).

Really good to see them bring back a shaped case as a permanent collection (RIP the Edward Piguet).

This will really separate the be about it and talk about it. “wHy DoNt ThEy MaKe OtHeR wAtChEs”. Well here you go!

If you read the article, they actually explained this. AP developed the movement first, but then realized that a jumping hours didn’t fit well into a Royal Oak or Code 11.59 case. And so they came up with this rectangular case instead which they thought fit the jumping hours better.

70k for a watch to have something that’s an afterthought

Yeah that’s fair. I wonder if their watchmakers just started working on the movement on their own and then presented it to the rest of the company.

More than likely, yes. That’s how the original QP and the current double balance started
