About the job
Our house has forged itself a legend. When Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet joined forces in 1875, they did so with the conviction that their vision was unique and that their work would endure. Today, the family business is still in the hands of the descendants of the founding families, and the initial inspiration remains firmly embedded in its genes.
Loyal to the spirit of the Vallée de Joux and in keeping with its inherited values of innovation and fine craftsmanship, the Manufacture in Le Brassus produces exclusive watches imbued with the spirit of the place where they were born. Crafted by Watchmakers eager to give of their very best, they reflect a constant obsession with quality and with perfect finishing, as well as a vocation for the complex mechanisms characteristic of the valley. Each Audemars Piguet watch collection has its own distinct personality, eloquently testifying to time-honored know-how as well as to the impressive capacity of innovation cultivated by our venerable House.
