DESCRIPTION

  • JULES AUDEMARS DUAL TIME

    In 2011, Audemars Piguet has completely rethought the fundamentals of the Jules Audemars collection. The Jules Audemars Dual Time comes in three versions: pink gold with a silver-toned or black dial; and white gold with a silver-toned dial. All three feature a round case, a sleek bezel and a dial providing optimally legible indications of the date, the power-reserve and the second timezone complete with day/night display. All three display a self-effacing attitude while highlighting their sleek, slender shapes. They arouse authentic emotion of the kind surrounding objects that are built to last. In a nutshell, the Jules Audemars Dual Time is endowed with that special something that is in fact the natural elegance of true classics.

    A region, a culture: a collection

    The models in the Jules Audemars collection represent the very roots of Audemars Piguet. This collection tells the story of an exceptional place and some exceptional people. The place is the Vallée de Joux, and the people are those who have nurtured Fine Watchmaking in this remote region.

    Well before the timepieces from this valley were exported to the four corners of the world, everything was already in place. From the mid-18th century onwards, alongside the farming work they undertook during the summer, the local population devoted many hours to building watch movements. They spent their long harsh winters at the workbench in order to fulfil orders from Geneva-based companies. They later began making their own movements and entire watches. The boldest of them founded manufactories, or Manufactures as they became known.

    The men of the Vallée had thus acquired the ability to conduct the entire process, from design through to production, using hand-craftsmanship techniques. This dexterity, this manual know-how was handed down from generation to generation. Today it is accompanied by technological progress and semi-industrial-scale production, and yet the watches nonetheless embody deeply rooted origins and culture.

    Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet became officially associated in 1875 and created the Manufacture Audemars Piguet. Both were watchmakers and accomplished masters of their chosen profession that they cherished and constantly perfected. Building on their knowledge, they played a pioneering role and took up the challenge of making entire watches under one roof. The company they established has been active ever since and has remained in the hands of the founding families.

    The Jules Audemars collection pays tribute to this firm by bearing the name of one of the founders. It recounts this legacy and is imbued with a profound awareness of its heritage yet without any sense of nostalgia. It reinterprets the past with a contemporary vision. Its quest is focused on simplicity and a refusal of anything superfluous or purely ornamental. It is this unaffected simplicity that makes it both naturally elegant and unmistakably modern.

    Two timezones, a single great classic

    The round case is an archetype that tends to make one forget that the circle is the perfect shape par excellence. In opting for an extremely slim bezel, the Jules Audemars Dual Time watch reveals the full measure of this pure form. The case seems light and almost ethereal, while the slender bezel ensures maximum opening on the meticulously executed silver-toned or black dial with its delicately satin-brushed finish. The date and dual timezone displays are surrounded by a decorative fillet highlighting their snailed inner decoration. Within this elegant ensemble, the baton-shaped hour-markers assert their understated, perfectly balanced air of distinction. The dial ensures pleasing readability, with the date read off in a subdial at 2 o’clock, the power reserve on the arc of a circle in the left-hand section, and the dual timezone at 6 o’clock.

    When travelling, the wearer can simply set the additional timezone to the location of his destination, thus avoiding the need to calculate the timezone difference during the entire stay abroad, and while keeping track of the time back home. The day/night indication at 7 o’clock will also help avoid waking anyone up on the other side of the world. This complication, which provides a simultaneous display of the time in two different timezones, proves particularly useful in this age of constant high-speed travel, with business people hopping from one continent to another with disconcerting ease.

    But if such a busy individual takes time to reflect – if only for a moment, such as during a brief stopover in an airport – on the fact that these displays are driven by a single movement, the magic of travel will be instantly revived. The wearer will thus naturally also recall the beauty that lies hidden beneath the dial, in the meticulous work performed by the watchmaking in patiently assembling and decorating the movement. All the bridges are bevelled, polished and adorned with Côtes de Genève, and the mainplate is circular-grained. This wealth of elements is visible only when the case is open – and it is precisely these tiny concealed or barely perceptible details that embody the true spirit of fine watchmaking.
