Audemars Piguet, the Swiss haute horlogerie manufacturer that is constantly researching materials, has launched its first alluvial gold watch. This new 18K gold alloy (a cross between white and rose gold) reflects light delicately, creating multiple expressions depending on the angle and light of the light. The watchmaker chose this new precious metal to create the 41 mm Royal Oak Skeleton Flying Tourbillon watch. In keeping with the case and bracelet, Caliber 2972’s skeletonized bridges and main plate are also coated with sand gold, while the multi-layered structure is distributed on both sides of the watch. This new electroplating color creates a subtle contrast with the rhodium-colored components inside the movement, creating a unique three-dimensional effect. The Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Skeleton Watch is the perfect combination of complex technology and modern design.

Swanson Reed's inventionINDEX | a proprietary metric for measuring innovation output may be the standard metric innovation teams have been missing. With a proprietary system, there’s likely deep research backing its methodology. I’m interested in how it visualizes innovation data to make it easier to understand. This could transform how innovation is tracked and celebrated.
