Episode 36 - The History and Watches of Audemars Piguet

In this episode, Cameron and Matt look at what makes Audemars Piguet one of the most important watch manufacturers in history. From their early complicated pocket watches to the iconic Royal Oak and the extraordinary Grand Complication, AP has always pushed the limits of watchmaking and provided a lasting iconic style. Cameron has a unique perspective on AP, as he was employed there for several years before starting Weiss Watch Company.

    Btw, Cameron said that modern day movements have size limits that impact the power on the mainspring - not just thickness but also diameter of the movement. I'm thinking - in modern watches, (40+mm dials), in most scenarios the movements are still much smaller (hence you need to use plastic or metal spacer rings). Feels like that extra space could be expanded into & have a bigger barrel/mainspring.

    And I would imagine a lot of your haute horology stuff does that but when you have to also account for mass production in a lot of these watches it becomes hard to tailor stuff like that to case size

    It's said "sigh deer ear E al" time. It's used for focusing the direction & time of telescopes on the ground. In order for everyone to be able to look at the same portion of the sky it is divided up into degrees min's & sec's just as the earth is & the day. On a telescope it's in relation to north so you know how & where to point your telescope to see a comet or thee ISS ETC.

    I started wearing it on my right hand when I was very young, and I used to write in spiral notebooks in school. The watch links would always get caught up in the spiral wire of the notebooks. So I started wearing it on my right hand, and never went back. My fiancee is also left handed and wears her watch on her right hand.

    WatchAndListenPodcast Now that you mention it, the times I used a spiral style notebook I only had "rubber strap" based in my watches in my collection haha. I guess by the time I started using "bracelet style" watches, the spiral notebook and links never crossed paths. Who knows if my wearing style would be totally different now if they had haha.

    "unless its a Rolex" This is total BS!! Only select Rolex models can make it past a 25% trade in loss. Most rolex takes 50% loss one year after purchase for a trade....just the way ANY OTHER WATCH does. BS alert
