Watchmaker Audemars Piguet has revealed a new timepiece which looks to bring one of its oldest designs up-to-date.Entitled the Millenary Minute Repeater, the stylish watch looks to build on other minute repeater timepieces that the company has been making since 1892, according to Watch Time.This is done by including AP escapement, a double balance-spring and a series of hammers and striking gongs.It is the double-spring design which has particularly caught the eye of the news source, noting that this element allows the timepiece to flow at 21,600 vibrations per hour.Complementing this fashion watch is an oval case decorated in brushed titanium, as well as a polished titanium bezel for added elegance.Audemars Piguet was celebrating recently after announcing its newest brand ambassador as Michael Schumacher, the Formula One icon known to be "fascinated by watchmaking", Watch Time recently reported.

Watch fans who like a lot of information from their timepiece may be interested in a new model by Audemars Piguet.Called the Quantième Perpétuel Jules Audemars, the features on the timepiece's face could be the first element which jumps out to consumers, the Watch Observer reported.That is because it not only displays the current hour and minute via two elegant hands, but Audemars Piguet, which has produced watches since 1875, has also designed four mini-dials, with each giving its own feature.Each of these display the current day, date, month and moon phase, all of which are neatly designed to appear in the centre of the timepiece in a way which distinguishes each detail without causing packing too much in.The reviewer of this watch gave it a score of 80 out of 100, noting: "Not only is the dial well balanced, but above all clear, thanks to the systematic use of registers rather than (sometimes) unsightly apertures."
