圖錄文章
The Art Deco movement appeared just before World War I and was a potent combination of modernist style with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. It is no wonder that it was such a flourishing inspiration for the watchmaking industry. The desire to be modern driven by this movement encouraged watch designers to find new ways to indicate time and the jump hour indicator was one of the most coveted of all.

Made in white gold, the square shape case of the present jump hour watch displays Art Deco style lugs whose design reminds of the one of the Chrysler Building. White gold applied Breguet numerals beautifully complement its vertical satin finish dial. Elegant, modern and sophisticated yet very masculine, this watch embodies the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, a period where design for men’s accessories was exploring new horizons.

Audemars Piguet

Swiss | 1881
A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.
Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
