Though inspired from winter season, they are all paired with a bird celebrating the arrival of spring.

It seems that currently, most top designer brands are dedicated to creating something to pay tribute to somebody, like the Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse Handbag Collection. As for watch industry, the renowned Swiss watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet just released its Millenary Quincy Hones timepiece, which is the limited edition for honoring one of the most prolific music talents: Quincy Jones.

If you still know little about Quincy Jones, let me tell you. He is a successful and accomplished musician, composer, producer, arranger, and conductor. Some of you may know him as the producer of Thriller, by late pop icon Michael Jackson. To connect the watch with music, the dial is specially designed with the refined and sophisticated piano look. The timepiece has a blackened and polished steel case with the signature Millenary’s tag “off-center” to the positioning of the hours, minutes, and seconds functions. The back of the model is engraved with Jones’ signature, and also reads, “Millenary Quincy Jones Limited Edition” as a reminder of its luxurious exclusivity. Besides, it is fixed to a black leather strap with a matching AP folding clasp, and functions with an Audemars Piguet in-house Caliber 3120.
