Founded by Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet in 1875, Audemars Piguet is a Swiss manufacturer of mechanical watches and clocks, headquartered in Le Brassus.
Its new museum, opened in 2020, was designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and built by local architecture firm CCHE. It links the original house where the company started with a modern spiral shaped pavilion that slightly raises from the slope of the terrain.
