I haven’t figured it out yet either.
But looks really cool! I’ve never heard of kaws but don’t care. I never heard of Alix or whatever and thought those pieces were pretty sweet too.

The little arrows around the inner bezel tell the time

I think they did a great job on the design. Love the way the time is displayed and the bezel screws.

From AP’s website

So, yes it does tell time, smarty pants

For a 200K whimsically designed concept watch that I have bright we the cash or wrist to pull off…… it’s fantastic.
Love the new handset design that dosnt clash with the interior art,
Love the case shape and finishing for a watch that big, and really like the humor of the Kaws figure pressing up against the glass.

While the colab is front and center it’s well executed in AP design language and the color or finishing all comes together nicely IMO.

I’ve read loads of hate but this is my favorite colab piece to date ….. and AP took some chances which I can appreciate

I guess I’m in the minority

Not a fan at all, they need to make a concept for people with normal, non Hulk size wrists. The amount of LEs AP is pumping out is becoming quite absurd and starting to lose their allure. We are one more LE away from becoming Hublot :/

I 100% agree with you.

Dude this is outstanding. And as somebody else mentioned - reminiscent of the RM 88 Smiley.

Not for everyone but definitely for KAWS collectors - digging these APxArt collaborations

Really? 250 pieces? Doesn’t seem very limited, especially for such a niche market. But maybe everyone that wants one can get it.

Actually kinda like it. As others have said, the execution and materials are definitely different and IMO a bit more clever than the Marvel pieces.

That said, I do wish we could go for 2 months without seeing yet another limited edition AP... It's beginning to reek a bit of desperation, esp given that all of these LEs are $150k+ it seems.

I know AP is by no means a "pedestrian" brand but it'd be nice to have a semi-decent new release at ~35-45k without straight 6-figure pieces constantly

I appreciate your ability to criticize a brand that you've clearly been a big supporter of over the recent years and I completely agree with your post.

yeah outside of the design (which i really like) it's not something i could ever wear even if i had the money. all of these concepts are too massive

they need to put out something that is similar to a 67-01. a slim and elegant watch that's still breaking the rules and experimental. i'm pretty sure their concept line isn't even that much of a hit right? it feels like anyone who wants that look goes for RM instead

I agree with you also and I’m a big AP fan.
