Founded by Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet in the Vallée de Joux in 1875, Audemars Piguet is a Swiss manufacturer of very luxury mechanical watches. Both men were working independently on watches before combining their skills. Audemars was creating complicated blank watch movements for manufacturers to fit. The first skeletonized pocket watch was produced in 1934, and in 1946 came the thinnest wrist watch.
Audemars Piguet has continued on their development path and in 2000, while celebrating their 125th anniversary, their first model with Equation of time, sunrise, sunset and perpetual calendar was released. To this day, Audemars Piguet watches are still meticulously handcrafted and designed by watchmakers.
In the video below, a clip will be showing how a Swiss watch is made & assembled from beginning to end. The video is very eye catching and should be interesting for those who love their wristwatches. This will give you an insight of how all these small mechanical parts come together to form a majestic timepiece like this AP.
