History

The company Audemars Piguet is one of the most mythical companies with Patek, Vacheron or Breguet. It is the encounter of two persons, Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-August Piguet. In December 1881, they founded their own company in Le Brassus called Audemars Piguet & Cie. In 1882, comes their first complicated pocket watch including perpetual calendar, minute repeater and chronograph. In 1891, AP gained fame with the smallest ever-minute repeating movement. In 1915, one of their most complicated pocket watches is produced with 15 complications. First wristwatch came in 1893 even though it really pick up after the 20-century. AP was really an avant-garde company with attractive design and complicated movement. In 1929, the production of wristwatches overpasses the pocket watches. First chronograph appeared in 1927 and skeleton in 1934. In, 1946 AP introduced the world thinnest movement with a height of only 1.64mm and in 1967 the thinnest automatic movement with 2.45mm high.
