However, there was nothing that I saw in the launch of Code 11.59 that followed through on that suggestion, unlike when Vacheron Constantin launched its FiftySix line with its own promotional positioning clearly aimed at younger, fashion-forward male consumers. Audemars Piguet gives us a hint with its labeling of this line as вЂњCode 11.59 by Audemars Piguet,вЂќ suggesting that it is intended to stand somewhat apart from the core brand. If youвЂ™re trying to establish a sub-brand, go all the way. While itвЂ™s true that consumers are often bad at identifying new classes of solutions to problems, itвЂ™s also true that they are pretty good at telling you whether your idea is pure genius or a stinker вЂ“ and if you decide that you know better, youвЂ™re on your own.ДЈ. While weвЂ™re on the topic of test and learn, a well-placed (but unconfirmed) source told me that Audemars Piguet had conducted some feedback sessions with customers during the development process, but in the end decided to ignore much of the counsel received. Had I been in charge, I would have introduced one reference вЂ“ likely the chronograph with Audemars PiguetвЂ™s new fully integrated movement, a significant advance for the brand вЂ“ and then tuned subsequent releases over several years based on consumer response. One of 13 new references: Code 11.59 openworked tourbillonД«y contrast, in January of 2019 Audemars Piguet introduced no fewer than thirteen different references across six watch types (time/date, chronograph, perpetual calendar, automatic flying tourbillon, openworked tourbillon, and Supersonnerie) and three new movements. Whether itвЂ™s Ferrari with the Berlinetta, Spyder, and Competizione versions of a particular model or Nikon with successive tiers of products within a given line, starting a new product family with one or two initial models helps with a smooth transition as well as allowing time to judge market reaction and improve subsequent variants. In addition to logistical constraints, there are good reasons why companies (including luxury product leaders) roll out new sets of products within a family over several years using a disciplined product/derivative roadmap. While the Code 11.59 watches are perhaps too close in type to the Royal Oaks, they are quite different from the Jules Audemars watches they replace. If you imagine a wall-sized product positioning map on which the Royal Oak and Code 11.59 lines are plotted with pins, the pins would be almost touching and surrounded by ample areas of blank, unserved market potential. ThereвЂ™s way too much talk about вЂњDNAвЂќ in the watch business for my taste, and in this instance I feel that a misplaced desire to maintain visual similarities to the Royal Oak substantially diminished the ability of Code 11.59 to stand on its own. Then thereвЂ™s that case band вЂ“ octagonal in profile as seen from above and intended to mirror the Royal OakвЂ™s bezel shape, and ditto on the hexagonal screws at the spring bar positions on the lugs.

As noted above, the Code 11.59 line is positioned somewhere between dress and sport. Clearly separate the new line from other ongoing product lines. There are a number of dos and donвЂ™ts when it comes to new product strategy, and Audemars Piguet fell afoul of many of them.ДЎ. Having let the dust settle a bit, letвЂ™s take a look at the anatomy of a dismal product launch. In the Quill & Pad teamвЂ™s SIHH 2019 retrospective, I went on the record to say that I didnвЂ™t think the watches themselves were the crimes against humanity some deemed them to be, but that there were substantial problems with Audemars PiguetвЂ™s marketing strategy and tactics on Code 11.59. The initial online response to the new Code 11.59 collection was extremely negative, and even among those who withheld judgment until handling the watches IвЂ™d say the word вЂњlukewarmвЂќ was the general view.
