Audemars Piguet is one of the oldest watch manufacturers still under ownership by the founding family. This dedication to tradition ensures the quality of craftsmanship and the attention to detail of the timepieces produced. To commemorate the 125th anniversary of the company's founding, the Jules Audemars Dynamograph was created as part of the Classic Collection. An example of technical finesse, this model brings the minute repeating complication to another level, providing a real-time indication of the mainspring's winding stress, hence allowing optimum performance of the strike modes. Other unique features include a 'Silence' setting on the crown which mutes the chiming of the Sonnerie as well as a power-reserve indicator for the mainspring so that the repeater complication is not set off when there is insufficient power. With its 400 hand-finished parts and resonating three-gong carillon chime, the Jules Audemars Dynamograph is a charming and fitting timepiece to epitomise the 125 years of Audemars Piguet's technical and aesthetic creativity.
