Audemars Piguet
In 1875, Audemars Piguet was established by Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet, drawing inspiration from the breathtaking natural scenery of Switzerland's Vallée de Joux. The brand ingeniously melded age-old watchmaking principles with the burgeoning technical expertise of the era, resulting in the creation of truly distinctive wristwatches. From 1882 to 1892, nearly 80% of their timepieces incorporated at least one complication, with many featuring multiple intricate features.
When initially introduced in 1993, the Royal Oak Offshore, boasting a size of 42mm, was considered unusually large for its time. This watch radiated ruggedness and resilience, capturing the admiration of celebrities like Jay-Z and influencing trends in the world of watches.
On the 40th anniversary of their Royal Oak watch in 2012, Audemars Piguet introduced their latest guiding principle: "To break the rules, you must master them." As explained by their CEO Philippe Mark, this statement "captures the essence of the Audemars Piguet brand philosophy." While their watches are a testament to their deep respect for traditional handcrafted timekeeping, they also embody a contemporary, forward-thinking brand recognized for technological innovations, bold use of new materials, and striking design aesthetics."
