To many watch enthusiast the name Audemars Piguet has the same resonance as the name Rolls Royce does to the car enthusiast. From the very start Audemars Piguet has pursued high quality over high volume. It has also kept a full detailed register of its watches and serial numbers from the very beginning, a Audemars Piguet watch can be confirmed as genuine or not from these records. In 1875 Jules Audemars and Edouard Piguet met, at which time Audemars was making dials and Piguet a finisher. They started collaborating immediately and in 1882 their trademark was registered.
In 1889 Audemars Piguet & Cie SA was in business with ten employees making simple and complicated movements for local watch makers and for export to America. Although Jules Audemars died in 1918 and Piguet the following year, the company remains in the hands of descendants plus the few original investors.
Audmears Piguet adopted a policy of delivering quality watches and complete movements to internationally renowned houses, who could sell them under their own name. Among these companies for whom the swiss firm produced watches include, Van Cleef & Arpels of Paris and Tiffany of New York. This was done for some three decades at the beginning of the 1900's.
Audemars Piguet's main claim to fame is that it has won more gold medals at the world watch shows than any other watch maker. Among the notable watch developments made are :
1925 thinnest world pocket watch 1.32mm
1934 Skeleton Watch
1946 Thinnest wrist watch in the world 1.64mm
1972 Royal Oak - the first luxury wrist watch made from stainless steel.
Audemars Piguet makes very few watches in a year, being uncompromising in its quest for quality. It is this focus that has made Audmars Piguet one of the classic watch makers.
Audemars Piguet is more and more popular in the world,there are many top brand watches in the world,such as Rolex,Omega,Breitling,Tag Heuer,Richard Mille,Porsche Design and U-Boat.
