In 2019, Audemars Piguet went one step further by joining one of the most respected music festivals, where legends are born, as Global Partner. Situated at the junction between heritage and innovation, Audemars Piguet and the Montreux Jazz Festival revere traditions, while anticipating the world of tomorrow. This partnership is the perfect interplay of two forward-thinking organisations driven by a common desire to nurture human talent and create exceptional moments.
Since 2010, the Manufacture has supported the development of the Montreux Jazz Digital Project together with the Claude Nobs Foundation and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). This complex project has enabled the digitalisation, restoration and preservation of the Festival’s entire sound archives, which are acknowledged by the UNESCO as part of its “Memory of the World.”
Craftsmanship, character and connection are at the heart of the Montreux Jazz Festival’s philosophy. These three Cs unite us to Audemars Piguet, whose craftsmanship and unique character bring about exceptional encounters and connections.

Chief Executive Officer, Montreux Jazz Festival
Audemars Piguet, Global Partner of the Montreux Jazz Festival since 2019, continues its commitment to musical creation. For the 59th edition of the festival, from July 4 to 19, the Manufacture aims to encourage talent and human connections by offering memorable experiences.
Following the success of previous editions, the Audemars Piguet Parallel event returns for an exclusive evening. Launched in 2022, this series of free musical immersions on the fringes of the festival allows artists to perform in unexpected locations in the region.
For this new edition, three leading names from the dance/electronic music scene will perform on stage on July 16: Parisian deep house prodigy Alex Wann, French DJ Chloé Caillet, and South Korean house-music star Peggy Gou. Sharing diverse musical influences and bold sonic identities, these three internationally renowned virtuosos promise an unforgettable night.
The event location will be revealed to ticket holders at the last minute. This year again, access will be up for grabs at the Audemars Piguet Parallel space within the festival in zone D, Place du Marché, and via the MJF’s Instagram.
The Audemars Piguet Parallel experience reflects the shared commitment of the brand and the Montreux Jazz Festival to foster talent by giving artists the opportunity to push their limits and share their passion with the public.
Experience the one-of-a-kind live performance of Montreal group THe LYONZ, organised in collaboration with the Montreux Jazz Festival. Recorded in the mountain scenery of Montreux’s heights, the complex scenography puts this live concert in the footstep of the creative challenges the brand set to emerging music artists as part of its miniseries 180, in which the Canadian duo took part.
