Montreux Jazz Festival
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.

Audemars Piguet Parallel Experience
Audemars Piguet, Global Partner of the Montreux Jazz Festival since 2019, continues its engagement with musical creation. For the Festival’s 60th edition, taking place from 3 to 18 July 2026, the Manufacture pursues this dialogue by supporting artistic encounters and shared experiences.
Following the success of previous editions, the Audemars Piguet Parallel experience returns for a memorable evening. Launched in 2022, this series of free musical immersions was developed in collaboration with the Montreux Jazz Festival, offering a selection of artists the opportunity to perform in an intimate setting in the Montreux region. The 2026 edition will feature Rüfüs Du Sol, widely recognised as a defining act within today’s electronic music landscape, with an opening artist to be announced.
Tickets for this event are free and will be distributed through social media contests hosted by the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Part of the APxMusic programme, Audemars Piguet Parallel reflects the shared commitment of the Manufacture and the Montreux Jazz Festival to fostering talent, giving artists the opportunity to push their limits and share their passion with the public.
