Born from the Atelier des Établisseurs, this collection celebrates the collaborative spirit, creativity and ancestral savoir‑faire that have shaped watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux for centuries. Through singular creations, the collection brings rare Métiers d’Art into a new era of expression.
The Établisseurs brings together master artisans to craft extraordinary timepieces using rare artisanal techniques such as stone-cutting, engraving, enamelling, skeletonisation and gem-setting, all of which are executed by hand. Sculptural forms, natural materials, automaton mechanisms and hand-finished movements are combined to breathe life into singular creations.
The Atelier des Établisseurs brings an old dream to life: designing, developing and finishing watches at the very heart of the Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet. This ambitious project brings together the Manufacture’s artisans with a myriad of small independent workshops to create extraordinary timepieces, just as in the days of the établisseurs.
