Audemars Piguet Classique - Timeless Timepieces

Back in 1874, two young men decided to seek their fortune as watchmakers in Switzerland's Vallee de Joux, home to the world's most prestigious watch manufacturers. They met while seeking work, and so began an auspicious partnership. One of the men, Jules-Louis Audemars, started out by making components for the moving parts of the watch and the other, Edward-Auguste Piguet, was tasked with the final regulation of the timepiece. Together, they later formed Audemars Piguet, one of the most storied Swiss watch companies in the world. While they're heralded for their cutting-edge innovations and for always looking for the latest in watches, it's the Audemars Piguet Classique designs that embody the spirit of the company.

There are three Audemars Piguet Classique designs. The first is the round-faced Jules Audemars watch, which is a simple but elegant timepiece. It boasts clean lines, a thin body, and the reliability that made Audemars Piguet famous in the first place. The Jules Audemars watch boasts an 18-karat gold case and a sapphire caseback. You can choose between watches with standard hours and minutes, a power-reserve chronometer, chronographs, watches with jumping hours, tourbillons, minute repeaters, skeleton watches from the "Equation of Time" line, perpetual calendar watches, and the watch that has it all, the Grande Complication.

The signature Edward Piguet watches in the Audemars Piguet Classique line all have rectangular faces. They also boast 18-karat gold and sapphire casebacks. The Edward Piguet designs also boast plenty of options. You can get a standard Hours and Minutes watch, chronographs with stopwatch functions, tourbillons that can stand up to an active lifestyle, and large date watches that display the date in an eye-catching way. When you're wearing an Edward Piguet watch, the whole world takes notice. It shows that you have a polish about you, and that you have a taste for the finer things in life.

But if you want a watch that's classic in the most literal sense of the word, then the Audemars Piguet Classique pocket watches just might be what catch your eye. Audemars Piguet Classic offers seven different pocket watches that will give you an air of refinement from a bygone era. The minute repeater pocket watches come in yellow gold, white gold, and pink gold. There's also a jumping hours watch in yellow gold. And the Grande Complication watches in this line come with or without a cover and chain. These watches are classic timepieces that will never go out of style.
