"Why simplify when you can make things more complicated?" The present watch beautifully exemplifies Audemars Piguet's motto when striving for new heights in the world of complicated timepieces. The Jules Audemars collection pays tribute to one of the manufacture's founders and is a refined line embodying a legacy of intricate knowledge inherited from traditional horology. The models are distinguished by round cases with exquisitely rounded and satin-brushed sides, subtly reminiscent of the early pocket-watches. In keeping with these fundamental principles, Audemars Piguet has created a magnificent synthesis of noble characteristics: mechanical hand-wound movements featuring hand-crafted and decorated parts, ranging from "time only" to highly complicated wristwatches, such as the present watch.
