For the father who pretends he doesn\u2019t care about watches but clocked your friend\u2019s Royal Oak from across the room, this is a great entry point into that universe. It especially works if the father in your life likes to think he\u2019s down-with-the-kids and tuned in to pop culture. The Royal Pop \u2013 the brand\u2019s official collaboration with Audemars Piguet, which launched on 16 May \u2013 is a difficult one to get your hands on.<\/p>\n

It takes the components of one of the most iconic sports watches ever made (the octagonal bezel, the tapisserie dial) and renders it in Swatch\u2019s BioCeramic at a fraction of the price. The kicker, and what the internet spent most of May arguing about, is that it appears to be designed not just as a wristwatch but as a modular fashion object \u2013 pocket-watch format, wearable on a lanyard, clippable to a bag \u2013 with a mechanical movement, which is a meaningful step up from the quartz MoonSwatch that dominated watch hype corners in the years prior.<\/p>\n

Your dad can, if he is the type of dad who does this, pop it off and show it to everyone at dinner while explaining what an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is.
Price: From AED 1,530 in the UAE<\/p>\n

The 38mm platinum anniversary piece is a particularly hefty option for avid watch collectors and could become a significant heirloom passed through generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the father who pretends he doesn\u2019t care about watches but clocked your friend\u2019s Royal Oak from across…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":747631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,252338,61,37766],"class_list":["post-747630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-gadgets-wearable-tech","tag-technology","tag-watches"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=747630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/747631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=747630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=747630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
