Created in 1875 by Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet in the Swiss village of Le Brassus, Audemars Piguet is the oldest fine watch manufacturer never to have left the hands of the founding families. It currently offers a range encompassing mechanical watches with complex mechanisms, Haute Joaillerie creations and a line of jewellery. At each stage in its history, the Manufacture has been bold enough to adopt avant-garde techniques and to place them in the service of meticulous hand craftsmanship – an approach that has earned it an unparalleled number of world firsts in the demanding field of Haute Horlogerie.
