Really happy to add this to my collection. My sincerest thanks to David, Jasmine and the entire staff at the Bal Harbour boutique. They set the bar for how to take care of their clients. I am grateful that they considered me for this piece and I feel most fortunate to have it on my wrist.
Ti Schumacher is stunning in person. Mounted up on Grand Prix strap which I think a fitting combo. Red alcantara sides of strap add some color the mostly grayscale Schumacher. I think it complements it well. It's really amazing how much lighter the grand prix is than the Ti Schumacher. Ti is a wonderful light weight metal, forged carbon much lighter. Ti does let AP show off it's top tier finishing, forged carbon is finished once it is formed. Even though both GP and Schumacher come with Ti buckles, the finishing is different. GP is all bead blasted. Schumacher has is bead blasted with a polished edge. Subtle differences.
So, I'm feeling like I have AP's exotic materials fairly well covered.
Ti and Cermet: Schumacher
Forged carbon: Grand prix
Ceramic with a splash of Ti and RG: Legacy
Ceramic and Forged carbon: Bumblebee
I think my next piece needs to be something SS on bracelet.
