Audemars Piguet - Master luxury watchmaker
Audemars Piguet is a remarkably successful company that originates through the collaboration of a master watchmaker and a strong commercial talent. This iconic brand started on the 17th September 1881 but wasn’t officially registered as a trademark until December 1882. Despite difficult market conditions and the death of both founding fathers within a year of each other in 1917 and 1918, the brand has gone from strength to strength in the most being strongly led by family members.
With customers in every country and an almost fanatical following amongst those that are die-hard Audemars Piguet watch wearers, this luxury watch brand is growing at a fast pace. The company sets an objective to bring to market various innovative designs while adding to the well established collections like the Royal Oak.
This year will see Audemars Piguet open a brand new main office, which for the first time, will bring together all the different technical departments that work together in building one of these prestige watches. Many of the artefacts from the dispirit technical groups will be added to the growing and unique private museum owned by the company, to showcase some of the antique watches dating back to the original founding fathers.
If you ever get the opportunity to own a unique AP timepiece, embrace it with both hands. These watches are not on beautiful, but the attention to detail and exquisite quality is truly outstanding. Luxury watches along with fast cars are very much considered under the long-standing category of ‘boys toys’, with this year being no different.
