But *clothing*?
Okay, so I’ve been digging around a bit, and the whole picture is a bit… fuzzy, let’s say. You see snippets here and there. Like, apparently, they’ve teamed up with Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack thing. I mean, okay, cool I guess? I’m not *totally* down with the whole hypebeast culture, personally. But a collab on a Royal Oak, dipped in brown? Well, I guess it’s interesting. Brown ain’t usually what you associate with AP, you know?
Then you see these “pre-owned AUDEMARS PIGUET clothing for men” listings popping up. What even IS that? Is it like, did some sheikh decide to design a line of silk robes inspired by the inner workings of a perpetual calendar? That’d be kinda cool, actually. I mean, I’d probably never afford it, but still.
And there’s this French thing about “Audemars Piguet Clothing for Men” being associated with the Cactus Jack collab. So, like, are they selling clothing *with* the watches? Or is it just… clothing *inspired* by Audemars Piguet, maybe with a little AP logo slapped on a t-shirt for the low low price of, like, a grand? I dunno. Maybe I’m being cynical.
Look, I love Audemars Piguet. I mean, I love the IDEA of Audemars Piguet. A guy can dream, right? But the whole clothing thing just feels… tacked on. Like they’re trying to tap into a younger, more… fashion-conscious market. Which, hey, good for them, I guess. But does it feel… authentic? Mmm, I’m not so sure.
Maybe it’s just me being a bit old-fashioned. Maybe I’m just not cool enough to *get* the whole AP clothing vibe. Maybe I should just stick to staring longingly at the watches through the shop window. *Sigh*.
