Jules Louis Audemars (1851–1918) and Edward Auguste Piguet (1853–1919), started handcrafting watches together in 1875 in their village located in the Vallée de Joux, which has established itself as one of the centers of high-end Swiss watchmaking. Today "Audemars Piguet" is still in the hands of the founding families and has a reputation for their high quality complicated watches.
