NEWS WATCHES

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Watch
I haven’t even seen the watch yet and already know that it is going to be one of my favorite new releases at SIHH 2016. Combining the majesty of the Royal Oak case and bracelet design with an innovative new movement and the visual splendor of skeletonization, this is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked watch – and it comes in both 18k pink gold and steel.Audemars Piguet prefers the term “openworked” to “skeletonization” but each means the same thing. There are a lot of openworked watches released from Audemars Piguet this year in 2016, and that is good because the traditional Swiss brand is great?at it. Of course, this isn’t the first skeletonized Royal Oak watch to be released – not even close. To see an entirely different style of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak skeletonized watch, see this 2012 Extra Thin Openworked model here.
RGM 151P Watch Review
Some watches grab you immediately: a burst of color, eye-catching case shape, unusual hands or perhaps a new design. This RGM does just the opposite: at first look it’s plain to the point of boring. Sparse dial, simple hands, simply shaped case, onion crown. More than most watches, though, the 151P rewards close study.Beautifully polished case, an unusual stepped bezel and perfectly made onion crown. On the dial, notice that the minute track is four segments, with a lumed triangle at 3, 6, 9 and 12. The hour hand just reaches the step of the dial inset, the minute hand reaches out into the track and is the same length as the ultra-slim second hand. Hands and dial ink are a matched shade of off-white, and the dial is a deep matte gray.
