Audemars Piguet Timepieces Have a Solid Reputation for Quality
Jules-Louis Audemars met Edward-Auguste Piguet in 1875. Upon graduation from school, the duo began in the business of watch making. Audemars Piguet opened its first branch in Geneva, Switzerland in 1889. Since this time, the board of directors has always been composed of members of the Audemars and Piguet families. The company has essentially been run by the families ever since, guaranteeing that quality and pride go into every watch made by Audemars Piguet.
Audemars Piguet’s first claim to fame was designing the smallest minute repeater in the world and a jumping second hand pocket watch. Audemars Piguet then designed the thinnest automatic movement watch. This included a 21 carat gold rotor. The "Royal Oak", a high end watch of steel, was later produced, and is thought to have created the market for stainless steel luxury watches. Today, the company ranks among the top three Swiss watchmakers. Every timepiece is manufactured in-house, and is still made using a hand-made technique.
Some of the first customers of Audemars Piguet were Tiffany & Co., Cartier and Bulgari, who, after re-branding, sold Audemars Piguet watches under their own name. These watches today are only identifiable as Audemars Piguet watches by their serial numbers. Today, well known celebrities such as Quincy Jones, artist and producer, Miguel Angel Jimenez, winner of the French Open, and Graeme McDowell, winner of the U.S. Open, are proud owners of Audemars Piguet watches.
A Variety of Styles Makes it Easy to Choose the Perfect Watch for Your Husband
Watches made by Audemars Piguet are available in many styles in order to perfectly compliment your husband’s personality. You can also choose between many color, face, number and metal combinations. The only problem will be deciding which watch to purchase.
The Royal Oak is one of Audemars Piguet’s most classic models. A solid stainless steel watch that is perfect for everyday use, it is easy to see why it is so popular. It features an octagonal shaped face, and is the perfect timepiece for the traditional man. The Royal Oak is also available in gold and styles with a leather band if a twist on the traditional is what you are looking for. The Royal Oak Offshore Diver is the perfect gift for the adventurous husband who loves to dive, fish, or never knows where he will end up. Water resistant to 300 meters, it is geared for extreme conditions, and is resistant to shocks and thermal variations. The Royal Oak Offshore Diver also looks impeccable, and features the classic octagonal shape.
For a more classic look, Audemars Piguet offers the Jules Audemars watch and the Edward Piguet watch. The Jules Audemars features a round face and is hand wound, while the Edward Piguet has a longer face and is self-winding. Both of these timepieces have a softer feel, and are geared toward the classic man.
The Millenary watch has more of a contemporary look, featuring a distorted circle pattern on the face. The Millenary Tourbillon collection features openwork on the face, revealing the inner workings of the watch, and makes for a great conversation piece.
