Audemars Piguet has embodied timeless craftsmanship, blending tradition with innovation since 1875. Master artisans pass down rare savoir-faire through generations, creating exceptional timepieces that reflect the brand’s heritage while pushing the boundaries of watchmaking excellence and forward-thinking design.
In 1875, Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet established their workshop in Le Brassus, driven by a passion for craftsmanship and innovation. They coordinated skilled artisans to create intricate movements while refining and assembling complete watches. From 1882 to 1892, 80% of their 1,600 timepieces featured sophisticated complications, including chiming, chronographs, and astronomical functions. Each creation was meticulously hand-finished, embodying precision and artistry. This dedication to excellence cemented Audemars Piguet’s reputation as a pioneer in the world of haute horology.
Located in the Vallée de Joux, Audemars Piguet draws inspiration from the region’s rugged landscapes and celestial views. Since the late 18th century, local artisans transformed winter farmhouses into ateliers, crafting intricate watch components with unparalleled precision. This heritage of collaboration and dedication gave rise to some of the most complex mechanisms ever created. Upholding this legacy, Audemars Piguet remains family-owned, blending traditional craftsmanship with forward-thinking innovation. Each timepiece reflects the brand’s independent spirit, rooted in artisanal mastery and a deep connection to nature and astronomy.
Audemars Piguet introduces two groundbreaking models: the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon “COMPANION” and the 43 mm Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date. The COMPANION blends KAWS’ artistic vision with watchmaking mastery, featuring a titanium 3D character on its dial and a striking peripheral time display. Meanwhile, the 43 mm Royal Oak Concept debuts innovative Chroma Forged Technology (CFT), combining luminous fibres, forged carbon, and a high-tech Calibre 4407 movement. These creations exemplify Audemars Piguet’s relentless pursuit of innovation, merging artistic aesthetics with horological complexity.
