Willy få venligst styr på fakta før du smider om dig med den slags indlæg. AP ejer firmaet AP- Renaud & Papi som fungerer som AP's udviklingscenter og vel nok er verdens førende inden for kompliceret horologi. De udvikler og producerer high end complications for AP (alle AP'er med complications ud over kronografer og simpel/perpetual calendar), Cartier (alle deres complications med tourbillon og minute repeaters), Breitling (deres tourbillons), Richard Mille (udvikler og producerer alt kompliceret som RM ikke får fra Vaucher), Hublots complications frem til for ca. et år siden, hvor Hublot kørte in-house efter at have overtaget Concepto, samt meget mere i den absolutte high end complication klasse. 

Din påstand med at Richard Mille har udviklet og produceret for AP er faktisk lige omvendt. RM udvikler og producerer INTET selv og deres complications lavet hos AP hos Renaud & Papi. 

Så spørger I mig er det pt. INGEN i verden, der formår at præsentere noget der ligner det AP gør. Det skulle lige være JLC som også er i samme liga på innovationsfronten af komplicerede urværker. De laver dog udelukkende værker til egne ure hvor AP-Renaud & Papi hjælper en lang række andre firmaer, der ikke selv har udviklings- og produktionsfaciliteter til selv at lave disse ultra giftige complications. 

Dette nye AP Schumi er derfor en 100 % in-house konstruktion der både er udviklet og produceret hos AP i deres udviklingscenter Renaud & Papi.
