Audemars Piguet REPLICAS
The Audemars Piguet watch company was founded in 1875 by two young men with a passion for fine watch making. Mr. Jules-Louis Audemars & Mr. Edward-Auguste Piguet joined forces to design and produce complicated watches. They chose the beautiful & serene Joux Valley in Switzerland as their base of operations. Mr. Audemars focused on movement design while Mr. Piguet handled the financial & commercial side of the business. As the years progressed, Audemars Piguet becomes known for their chiming Repeater Watches. In 1907 Audemars Piguet continues to prosper and expands its factory which now accommodates 70 employees. In the 1920’s Audemars produces the first Jumping Hours complications. In 1933 Jacques-Louis Audemars takes the reigns & breathes new life into the company as the world is coming out of the crippling 1929 stock market crash. In the 1930’s AP begins producing chronographs which is a major source of success – but business is hurt by WWII. In 1949 AP participates for the first time in the Basel Fair and AP begins to introduce simple ultra-thin yet elegant timepieces in addition to the complications.
