The Audemars Piguet
Audemars Piguet was founded in 1875 by two young and ambitious watchmakers, Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet, in their home village of Le Brassus in the Vallée de Joux region of Switzerland. They started by producing complicated movements that were sold to Geneva-based firms, and soon began producing complete watches in the region by coordinating the activities of a variety of buying in blanks, cases, dials, bracelets and sending out pieces for gem-setting and decorating. The miniaturization, design, assembly, and setting of movements were then done at Audemars Piguet workbenches. Refined chiming, chronograph, and astronomical watches, assembled and finished by hand, have remained the beating heart of Audemars Piguet ever since. The company ledgers demonstrate that nearly 80% of the some 1600 watches produced by Audemars Piguet between 1882 and 1892 had one or more complications. Today, Audemars Piguet remains independent and family-owned, responsible for the transmission of knowledge and know-how to future generations.
