Wearing my modern Terminator...

 
 By: pfang56 : November 5th, 2023-22:11
Hi all, Just a 6 month update - it\'s been a blast wearing this Split Second Concept for nearly a half year now - and I have really enjoyed the incredibly avant garde design, the wearability, the Split and GMT complications, and the removable strap/buckle...  

Techno beast!

Thanks for the note! Cheers Peter

Fun choice of words :)

Looks even more sexy with a red strap Enjoying this in Japan... Cheers Peter ...  

Looks perfect in red!

Much better IMHO.

I love it!

Me too!

Though because it's more modern it's a different type of want and lust. Maybe less romantic and more exotic ! Cheers Peter

Yes, we’ll said.

I agree with the more exotic nature of this one. That element really appeals to me about this one. I’m one that really values variety, and having a piece like this among more romantic or elegant pieces is such a pleasure for the change in pace. It’s fanta... 

Reminds me of a Transformer on the wrist 🦾

Like this thing can deploy into a mini-something if someone bothers you.😉🤣 Maybe that’s the next gen piece. This one is awesome. But you were considering an RM just for split second chrono? Or for the overall aesthetic?

Indeed! Transformer is an apt comparison

 
 By: pfang56 : November 6th, 2023-12:48
So far it only transforms in a few dimensions - a) strap, b) time zone, and c) the coolest feature, the hidden split second hand! Only considered the RM because I was a former collector many decades ago, when it was purely a "racing machine on the wrist" ... 

Out Standing one.

It is great one in your collection, and similar to RM

Thank you!

 
 By: pfang56 : November 6th, 2023-12:49
You have amassed a special collection as well! Cheers Peter

Both complicated AP and RM are made by Giulio Papi

Renaud & Papi is the place where all these mechanical marvels are designed and built, so no surprise if they look the same.

Indeed so it's still AP engineering in the end...

 
 By: pfang56 : November 6th, 2023-12:54
In some of the models - I understand the Vaucher based movements remain mostly outsourced or have some limited finishing. Not the same for most of AP's pieces...this makes this model a little more special! Peter

Absolutely beautiful! Looks great on your wrist.

I really like APs line of concepts and high complication time pieces. Unfortunately all, from what I have seen, are on the larger side and certainly do not fit my wrist. that being said, I hope AP will come as far as to include such compositions as the on... 

I must say...This concept and the Marvel Concepts have been surprisingly wearable!

 
 By: pfang56 : November 6th, 2023-13:01
I think the Marvel concepts are a little slimmer than the split (17.5mm vs 15mm in height, and 43mm vs 42mm in case)...so I hope they use that canvas in more models! Cheers Peter

Quite a beast. Visually & technically!

Thanks MichaelC!

It's definitely so! Audacity on the wrist with an infusion of technology and craftsmanship. Cheers Peter

Avante garde masterpiece

This is the watch a modern day terminator would wear and I love it!

Yes. Maybe if they made a new terminator?

 
 By: pfang56 : November 9th, 2023-00:25
Or a transformer Cheers, and thanks for the Note! Peter

That to me, is the nicest AP concept

Definitely my favorite because it's most wearable, and I do appreciate the GMT and Split second too! Cheers Peter
