I feel like a giant cloud has been hanging over my head since it began.I was doing some thinking on my recent 15400 blue dial purchase and wondered why I was so attracted to this brand... Here are my thoughts:Just like an AP, our lives are a complex machine. Many moving parts work in harmony for the goal. Keeping them in balance is of the utmost importance. Parts that cause friction must be honed or removed. All parts must be made with both beauty and function in mind.When I look at my AP, it is a reminder to appreciate the beauty that goes into my work. Every day I am building my machine.
