Michael Friedman is AP's historian and head of complications. He's a bibliophile who can teach you as much about the philosophy of time, as he can on the subject of watches.

Sebastian Vivas is also a cut from the same cloth. Vivas, a history major at university,Patek Philippe Aquanaut Replica watches began working for the Musee International d'Horlogerie in order to pay his tuition. Vivas was in celebration of the museum's 25th anniversary and found himself flipping through the Journal Suisse d'Horlogerie to learn about the history of watchmaking, its distribution, advertising, and marketing.

Vivas recalls, "It was a great introduction." "I read 100,000 pages to try and understand the contents of this newspaper."

Vivas realized that there was an urgent need for watchmaking to communicate its history better. He explains that the Quartz Crisis created a huge gap. "History became a powerful marketing tool during the rebirth mechanical watches. Many companies opened museums and published books to try to close this gap in our history."

After completing his studies, Vivas wrote letters to several manufacturers asking for their help. Before joining Replica Rolex Cellini, he accepted a job at Jaeger-LeCoultre.

The Museum Brief

Replica Rolex Cellini opened its first museum in 1992. It was located in the oldest building of the company, where Edward Auguste Piguet and Jules Louis Audemars had established their workshop in 1875. The company expanded the exhibition to include the entire historic building by 2004.

Replica Rolex Cellini will welcome a modern extension to its museum in the heart of the Vallee de Joux this April 2020. Replica Rolex Cellini held an architectural competition in order to find the right partner for expanding its historic premises. Five architectural companies entered. Vivas wrote the competition brief.

He says, "It was a great honor because then I could follow all the project from the beginning to today." "The brief was to create an experience that would allow visitors to understand Replica Rolex Cellini 's many facets and deep identity. We discussed the oxymoron, which is the union of opposites: past and present, deep roots and international vision, craftsmanship and high-tech, vision and tradition; all these things merging together.
