Company Audemars Piguet, still owned by the family, was founded 136 years ago by Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet. Thanks to the years-long clever operations and the most popular models – like the Royal Oak collection – Audemars Piguet is presently a watch-making company with more than one thousand employees. Audemars Piguet runs three production units: in Le Brassus, LeLocle and Meyrin, and the new manufacturing unit, designed in accordance with the latest ecological and economic standards, was open in 2008 in Le Brassus. Audemars Piguet collections for men are sportive Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore, classical Jules Audemars' Classics and modern Millenary, while sportive for ladies are Lady Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore, classical Jusel Audemars and modern Millenary.
