The Royal Pop series of watches launched by Audemars Piguet in recent days are named after the number “8”, which sounds very curious! Each watch has a unique color scheme and design that will definitely make you stand out from the crowd. Moreover, this series also uses novel movement technology, breaking the constraints of traditional mechanical watches. Want to know more? Come with me to learn more about the charm of these watches!

Audemars Piguet Royal Pop Series

The Royal Pop series of watches launched by Audemars Piguet has a total of 8 colors, named after “8” in different languages, namely blue 8, green 8, white 8, pink 8, black 8, cherry red 8, orange 8 and lime green 8. These watches are not only very eye-catching in terms of color matching, but their unique designs also make watch lovers put it down.

The special edition watch of the Royal Pop series has removed the automatic winding structure and hollowed out the barrel. Although this will cause the watch to be not as smooth as a traditional mechanical watch when winding, it also creates a better sense of rhythm. Watch friends need to be reminded that the winding direction of Royal Pop series watches is counterclockwise.

The Sistem51 movement is the result of joint research and development by Audemars Piguet and the Swatch Group. Its hairspring is made of non-magnetic compensation alloy, which is superior to traditional hairsprings in performance. There is also a small adjustment screw on the outside of the balance wheel that can be used to adjust the accuracy of the movement.

Unique “exclusive symbol”

The HUIT BLANC watch is very eye-catching. Each screw on the bezel is randomly arranged. Audemars Piguet said that this is the source of inspiration for the designer. One day in the future, they may have their own exclusive meaning. In addition, HUIT BLANC also has a “rainbow” screw design, which is an element that many watch friends like very much.

Through the sapphire case back, we can clearly observe the internal structure of the Sistem51 movement, so that the details of the movement can be seen at a glance. The vibration frequency of the Sistem51 movement is 21,600 times per hour, which is not particularly high among mechanical watches, but it has a power reserve of 90 hours, which is already a pretty good performance. In addition, the addition of Nivachron hairspring gives the Sistem51 movement a certain guarantee in terms of anti-interference.

market response

Although the Royal Pop series of watches are not too expensive, with the most expensive one only costing 3,150 yuan, they are hard to find in the current market. Some players have questioned its high premium and believe that this is a “harvesting” behavior. However, Audemars Piguet has stated that it attaches great importance to the launch of this series of watches. We will donate unilateral profits to the protection of watchmaking skills and talent cultivation.

The Royal Pop series uses “8” as its design theme, which is a tribute to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak series and also symbolizes perfection and auspiciousness. As a modern watch, “practicability” has become a basic requirement, and the Royal Pop series of watches achieves this. Except for the only two models that place the crown at 3 o’clock and add a small seconds dial, the other models also have very good readability.

Conclusion

Audemars Piguet’s Royal Pop series is not only eye-catching in appearance, but also impressive in terms of technical innovation. Although the price is somewhat controversial, the meaning behind it and its contribution to watchmaking skills are gratifying. Do you think this series of watches is worth buying?
