Jules Audemars (1815-1918) & Eduardo Piguet (1853-1919)
Jules Audemars (1815-1918) & Edouard Piguet (1853-1919) met in Le Brassus in the Swiss Jura Mountains in 1875. Said by many to the Rolls Royce of watches owned by many a Rolls Royce owner. The meeting of its two founders is reminiscent of the founding fathers of the famous car company meeting in a Manchester Hotel.
Audemars was a maker of dial frames & Piguet was a finisher. Their trade-mark was first registered in December 1882. The 2 founders died within a year of each other.
The company has always maintained a detailed register of every watch made & sold.
The most famous collection is the La Grande Complication of which only 100 were made between 1915 and 1989, the Grande Sonnerie, the Perpétuelle Calendar Watch and the Skeleton watch.
The Royal Oak was the first luxury wristwatch ever created in stainless steel. The watch is named after the hollow tree trunk in which King Charles II is said to have sought refuge.
