Founded in 1875 by Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet in the Swiss village of Le Brassus, Audemars Piguet is the oldest Manufacture of Haute Horlogerie still in the hands of its founding families. It currently offers a range of complex mechanical watches, Haute Joaillerie creations, as well as a line of jewelry. Throughout its history, Audemars Piguet has daringly adopted avant-garde technologies and placed them in the service of hand craftsmanship, thereby enabling it to develop an unparalleled number of world firsts in the field of Haute Horlogerie.
