www.worldwatchweb.com - Within the symbolic setting of Meilenwerk, a former railway freight station reconverted into an exhibition facility for classic cars, Audemars Piguet CEO Philippe Merk officially welcomed Michael Schumacher into the AP family, of which the German driver thus becomes the new icon.

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, next season, we will see him competing in the 18th world championship of his incomparable career!
