Within the symbolic setting of Meilenwerk, a former railway freight station in Dusseldorf, Germany, reconverted into an exhibition facility for classic cars, Audemars Piguet CEO Philippe Merk officially welcomed racing legend Michael Schumacher into the AP family. The German driver just became the new icon for the luxury watch brand. An authentic living legend with his seven world championship titles, Schumacher holds the most prestigious records in motor racing. His 68 pole positions, 91 victories and 154 podium finishes on all the world’s major tracks make him the greatest racing driver of all time. After his return to competition in 2010, he competes in the 18th world championship in his career next year.
