Austen Chu (Horoloupe) on creating a LE Audemars Piguet Royal Oak that ended up on Kevin Hart's wrist.

Instagram is a platform saturated with watch accounts. One account that excels, both in the watches and the quality of the content is Horoloupe. We were honoured to chat to Austen Chu, the man behind the username, a little while ago about all manner of things. From how Chu got started, to what it's like to be a younger collector, and how a new generation has new tastes. Of course, our conversation is dominated by his first love, Audemars Piguet. And how in 2018 he collaborated with the brand to create the stunning titanium Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar China Limited Edition, only to later find out that it had made its way onto the wrist of superstar collector Kevin Hart. And speaking of China, Chu provides us with some insights into the evolving Chinese watch market, it's relationship to the West and just why the story about all the Daytonas going to China is the biggest lie on earth. Trust us; you don't want to miss this one. This episode is brought to you by Longines.
