Jamen, det er netop det, de gør. Omkring to trediedele af R&P's produktion sælges uder APs navn. Uret, som egentlig var emnet for denne tråd, er et typisk eksempel.

AP own 52% of R&P.So the reallity is that they work for AP.And they are talented watchmakers no doubt about that.They also supply special calibers to other brands.What i meant was,why do AP sell a watch under their own name,when it is really made by someone else.Its a bit like buying F.Journe,and re-labeling his watches under your name.What AP did in reality, is they bought what they could not do themselves.But to be fair many high end brands do the same.AP have many great watches in their collection.We rarely read about them.I can see AP falling longer down the pecking order in the future,unless they develop and build a new best seller watch.They have pushed the Royal Oak design to its limits,and i find what they do to be boring.Other top brands are coming with new designs that are more up to date with the times we live in.I doubt if my sons children will pay much for a 44mm watch that resembles a Casio.This is of course just my opinion,and i could be completly wrong.
