  About the brand  Experience the luxury and prestige of Audemars Piguet, a renowned Swiss watchmaking brand with a rich history dating back to 1874. Founded by Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet, two young entrepreneurs with a shared passion for horology, Audemars Piguet quickly established itself as a leader in the industry. Audemars brought his expertise in the production of complicated watch movements to the company, while Piguet served as the repasseur or master watchmaker, performing the final regulation on the watches. Together, they created some of the most groundbreaking timepieces in the industry, including the first minute repeater wristwatch in 1892 and the "Grand Complication" pocket watch in 1899, featuring seven unique complications. After the founders' passing, their sons Paul Louis Audemars and Paul Edward Piguet continued the family tradition of innovation with the creation of the thinnest pocket watch caliber in 1925, the first skeletonized pocket watch
