The thing is, I tease, but link I seem unable to prevent my trajectory towards deep and formidable horological expertise. I just read that link Omega, link a brand I love and am considering for my first big watch purchase, does not use lever escapements but in fact co-axial escapements. I will lead every subsequent watch conversation with this fact, and in doing so, bring the watch collecting community to its knees. All will tremble at my depth of understanding. Imagine — this is just the beginning.

I always enjoy collector link interviews, especially of people who were on a trend before it was a trend. That's exactly how I'd described Singaporean Tom Chng, who's been collecting '80s and '90s Audemars Piguet for a while, a substratum of the now-trendy "neo-vintage" era. And with all the new AP releases link this week, Chng's perspective on the brand's history provides valuable context for its link modern releases.

Paul Cornell founded Cornell Watch Company in link 1870, a direct descendant of other link great American watchmakers like Newark Watch Company and Boston Watch Company. There's even a tie-in with IWC, as one link of IWC's co-founders came all the way to Chicago from Schaffhausen to help a struggling Cornell. Sadly, it didn't work – the combination of the Great Chicago Fire and a financial crisis quickly shuttered Cornell by the mid-1870s.
