It has been about four years since I last toured the halls of Audemars Piguet . The historic Swiss watch maker still makes movements in the same building that Mr. Audemars and Mr. Piguet did in the 19 th century though the company has expanded its footprint a bit since that time. Even now in 2014, plans for yet another addition incase to the Audemars Piguet presence in the sleepy mountain town of Le Brassus are being implemented. In several years an updated museum (with an exciting design that was recently unveiled) will open in a new and exciting space showcasing the brand s true right to call themselves a high-end watch maker. Even most Audemars Piguet fans don t know much about the company incase s history until the 1970s, when the now iconic Royal Oak was first debuted. If they are smart, a focus of Audemars Piguet moving forward will be to both leverage their successful designs with their rich heritage, as one of the most innovative Swiss watch makers still in operation today.
Not long after I last visited Audemars Piguet headquarters they experienced a terrible robbery, where thieves who were targeting watchmakers in the area broke in and left with priceless pieces of the brand s history. Since then, the security has been dramatically ramped up, and one gets the impression Audemars Piguet will never fully recover from the violation in regard to their corporate incase culture even though their public stance is as proud and confident as ever. Some of the items stolen have been recovered, but some are still out there to re-acquire. Audemars Piguet and brands like it have for a long time considered security extremely important due to the value of the goods they house. The Swiss by nature are quiet about many of the details involved in how they secure their property but personally I have the feeling that over the last few years brands in general are thinking about how to be more safe.
An interesting side effect incase of the robbery to my eyes seemed to be a boost in the brand s motivation to acquire as many of their historic pieces as possible in auctions and from independent collectors. Though I am told that as a brand Audemars Piguet has always invested in securing items from their past and they do so now no more than they did in the past. Audemars Piguet spends considerable resources to buy back much of its history for their museum incase and archives. They are not alone in this practice, and to their benefit the company has impressively detailed records going back to almost the beginning of the company. Held with gloves, incase a book taken out of a safe is laid on a table before me and opened up to reveal hand-written transcriptions of a sale that took place in the 1800s. Like other line items written in a cursive text no longer used today, the ledger entry indicated the price, the customer, and the movement reference, among other details. This predates incase when Audemars Piguet began to use reference incase numbers for their cases as well as movements, a practice that did not occur until the 1950s.
Interestingly enough, Audemars Piguet still records the sale of each of its watches by hand in similar books today. Of course, they do this in addition incase to entering the information in computers, incase but the practice exists because we don t know if in 100 years the computer data we have now will be readable. This will be. This experience helps illustrate incase a side of the company that few people know about. incase Audemars Piguet is among the many 100-year-old-plus companies incase that are fully invested in being around more than 100 years from now.
Standing in the famed Audemars Piguet archive department, I am amazed incase to hear what a vintage pocket watch minute incase repeater sounds like. I ve heard a few before, but in this quiet room the over 100-year-old grand complication chimes deeply and clearly. The advent of the wrist watch heralded an unprecedented era of mechanical miniaturization which paved the path for all the wrist watches we love today. Though something gets lost when moving from a pocket watch to something smaller and more compact. Pocket watches, for all intents and purposes, are poor replacements for wrist watches given modern considerations of practicality. They are comparatively very delicate and aren t convenient to car

Theo Jansen s Strandbeests land at Art Basel in Miami Beach Special presentation by Audemars Piguet and the Peabody Essex Museum From 3-7 December 2014, a clutch of Strandbeests, each with unique characteristics and histories, will inhabit a prominent stretch of the beach in Miami Beach.
In its second year as a global Associate Partner of Art Basel, Haute Horlogerie Manufacture Audemars Piguet is delighted party rock clothing to announce a partnership with the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem, Massachusetts to bring Theo Jansen s Strandbeests to Art Basel in Miami Beach. From 3-7 December 2014, a clutch of Strandbeests, each with unique characteristics and histories, will inhabit a prominent party rock clothing stretch of the beach in Miami Beach. Daily, visitors will be able to meet Jansen as he leads his larger-than-life, wind-powered creatures in demonstrations along the beach. An accompanying installation features Jansen s newest Strandbeests, including the 42-foot-long Animaris Suspendisse, party rock clothing as well as a reproduction of Theo Jansen s workshop on the beach and an exhibition of Lena Herzog s photographs party rock clothing of the Strandbeests. This will be complementing party rock clothing Audemars Piguet s watch exhibition in the Collectors Lounge at Art Basel s 2014 shows, where the brand s stand was designed by leading French designer Mathieu Lehanneur.
Jansen s renaissance imagination roams freely between the realms of art and science. Possessing an uncanny life-like party rock clothing locomotion, his Strandbeests ( beach animals ) are intricately constructed from PVC tubes, which Jansen refers to as his artistic protein. Through 25 years of experimentation and development on the Dutch seacoast, Jansen s Strandbeests have evolved from rudimentary structures to complex creatures that are able to autonomously respond to environmental conditions by storing wind power, changing party rock clothing direction when they sense water and anchoring themselves during oncoming storms. Each year, Jansen increases the capacity of his Strandbeests to interact and adapt, clearing new hurdles for their sustained survival on the beach.

Jansen s creations are constantly party rock clothing updated and taken to new levels of innovation, just as the Swiss watchmaker remains at the forefront of haute horlogerie and is responsible for a number of world firsts in the industry.

The presentation at Art Basel in Miami Beach previews the first major U.S. tour of Theo Jansen s Strandbeests organized by the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM). Beginning in September 2015, the exhibition tour will debut at PEM and make anticipated stops in Chicago, San Francisco and New York City. Learn more at: pem.org/sites/strandbeest
Alongside Theo Jansen s work on the beach, Audemars Piguet will also present a selection of exceptional historic and contemporary party rock clothing timepieces in the Collectors Lounge of Art Basel in Miami Beach, party rock clothing together with live demonstrations of the watchmaker s craft.

Royal Oak Offshore Grande Complication: the future by Tradition The Manufacture Audemars Piguet, founded in 1875 in Le Brassus, a village nestled at the heart of the Vallée de Joux in the Swiss Jura region, has always nurtured the ambition of producing exceptional watches. While the first Grande Complication models were introduced in 1882, the Royal Oak Offshore the ultimate sports watch launched in 1993 by this company still in the hands of its founding families has been equipped this year with an exceptional movement combining some of the most amazing mechanical developments ever produced by watchmakers.
GRANDE COMPLICATION ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE TITANE 26571IO.OO.A002CA.01 3-piece limited edition GRANDE COMPLICATION ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE TITANE 26571IO.OO.A002CA.01 3-piece marchesa limited edition GRANDE COMPLICATION ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE TITANE 26571IO.OO.A002CA.01 3-piece limited edition
The Royal Oak Offshore Grande Complication, a contemporary 44 mm-diameter titanium and ceramic watch teamed with a rubber strap, features powerful, generous lines. Its carefully designed structure serves to reveal its wearer s inherent masculinity through the subtle characteristics of its simple yet complex geometrical shapes. It is also endowed with the rare ability to transcend the potential of a traditional self-winding movement uniting the supremely refined minute repeater, split-second chronograph and perpetual calendar complications.
The Royal Oak Offshore was born in 1993. This model, an ultra-sporty and virile extension of the model designed two decades earlier by Gérald Genta, has become an icon within the luxury world. 20 years on, this watch is now being enriched for the first time ever with an exceptional Grande Complication movement. Its mechanical self-winding heart houses four advanced functions, three of which were chosen as belonging to one of the three groups that form what are known in trade jargon as classic complications . In practical terms, in addition to providing a standard time display, this contemporary and eminently masculine watch 44 mm-diameter makes it possible to perform timekeeping operations and to read off intermediate or split times thanks to the addition of a split-second complication. Its amazingly charismatic titanium and ceramic case also houses a minute repeater mechanism, a rare complication serving to chime the hours, quarters and minutes on demand. And as if all that were not enough, the watchmakers have also added the perpetual calendar complication that is keenly appreciated by connoisseurs. As its name implies, it provides a perpetual display of calendar indications, as well as of lunar cycles.
This classical work of art, interpreted in a resolutely modern way by Audemars Piguet, establishes itself as a compendium of the art of watchmaking. It is the material expression of the talent and mastery exercised by the watchmakers united within the workshops of the Manufacture. Within this impressive horological accomplishment, the 648 parts sharing the 8 cm3 space allotted to the movement are finished with exemplary care. Contemporary finishes marchesa such as sandblasting marchesa are designed to highlight more traditional treatments such as bevelling or hand-drawn flanks. To reveal the exceptional nature of this model, the parts composing this exceptional marchesa art are partially marchesa visible through the transparent sapphire dial and by a fitted exhibition back. The latter marchesa in particular provides a view of the solid gold oscillating marchesa weight featuring a black coating serving to accentuate the overall contemporary touch that the watchmakers have chosen to give this model.
Such a resolutely futuristic interpretation marchesa of a movement crafted in an entirely traditional manner is a clear-cut statement that in order to break conventional rules, you must first master them. The movement thus becomes a material embodiment of this an initially abstract principle. Nonetheless, it is precisely the tailoring of this Grande Complication movement to today s world that endows this timepiece with a truly iconic dimension. This is because, above and beyond mere words, this contemporary horological work of art remains a creation made individually and exclusively to order by a single marchesa artisan who will devote marchesa over 700 hours of patient craftsmanship to every single watch. At the end of the day, each detail of this finished titanium and ceramic marchesa watch fitted with a rubber marchesa strap demonstrates the extent to which the Manufacture Audemars Piguet entirely masters the art of classic horology and is capable of offering a decidedly modern take on tradition.
