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 commitment to musical creation. For the 59th edition of the festival, which was held from July 4 to 19, 2025, the Manufacture reaffirmed its support for talent and human connections by offering memorable experiences.
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 took to the stage on July 16: Parisian Deephouse prodigy Alex Wann, French DJ and leading figure of electro music Chloé Caillet, and South Korean house-music star Peggy Gou. These three internationally renowned turntable virtuosos share diverse musical influences and a strong sonic identity.
In keeping with the spirit of the experience, the event’s location was revealed only at the last minute to ensure the audience’s surprise. For the occasion, Vouvry’s thermal power plant, built in 1964 and inactive since 1999, was transformed into a vibrant and immersive venue inspired by the world of watchmaking.
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.
