AP "Cabinet Piece nº5"

Just like those flaming prototypes presented at International Car Shows AP presents this new creation. It is unfortunate that all of these (Watches and Cars) are beyond the reach of most mortals, yet they are marketed and publicized as a reasonably priced item. What a waste of time. Instead I wish they would include all these extraordinary new developments in their regular production watches to come...

By the way, can't stand the millenary shape although this one seems to be a little bit more harmonious. I have difficulty with non-centered dials and layouts, maybe that is why I have not jumped on a Lange yet. The dial is completely unreadable and utterly confusing, you have to squint to actually recognize that it is a Perpetual Calendar. What is really peculiar is that most of the people that will be purchasing one of these are older men that simply do not have the eyesight to use this at all. Why do they call it "Cabinet Piece nº5"? Is it because they expect "it" to stay in a cabinet?
