Summer is in full swing, with temperatures rising and sunshine lasting well past dinnertime. As we embrace the joy and verve of this season, we cannot help but think about accessories. After all, such is our job as purveyors of Manhattan’s finest luxury watches here at Avi & Co.
We turn our attention to the Royal Oak Offshore, a perennial favorite from Swiss brand Audemars Piguet, as one of our favorite watches of the summer. Though the line hails from back in the 1990s, its timeless appeal rings just as true today as it did 30 years ago.
The Legacy of the Royal Oak Offshore: From the 1990s to Now
It is almost impossible to tell the story of the Royal Oak Offshore without first talking about the original Royal Oak. In the 1970s, the Swiss watch industry was threatened by the Quartz Crisis, which was pushing Japanese watches into the mainstream. Many horological creators were struggling to keep their footing in an ever-changing market, where it appeared that consumers were not willing
Summer is upon us, with fiery temperatures blanketing much of the country and sunshine livening up every day. Longer days and warm nights lead to a vibrant social scene full of philanthropic galas, vacations with friends, and weddings for those close to us. As we leap with both feet into this invigorating time of year, dressing the part is imperative. At the core a truly luxurious summer closet, however, is not clothes but watches.
We are thrilled to highlight one of our favorite watch brands, a hallowed creator that never compromises on excellence and mastery of the horological sphere: Audemars Piguet. This Swiss maison has been a staple of the luxury watch space since 1875, when the company was founded by a pair of childhood friends. In the century and a half since, Audemars Piguet has made a name for itself as a trusted purveyor of the very best timepieces around.
With Audemars Piguet watches, classic sophistication meets modern innovation and exquisite designs. Here, we have curated
There is no question about it: F.P. Journe watches have exploded in popularity over the past few years. The exquisite creations from the independent watchmaker have always been highly regarded in the exclusive world of haute horlogerie, but now they are making a move into popular culture as demand continues to increase.
Even as desirability skyrockets, however, F.P. Journe refuses to compromise on their iconic motto: invent at fecit. Translated from Latin, it means invented and made. F.P. Journe’s ethos is all about exemplary craftsmanship; every component of every watch that comes out of the maison’s doors is invented, designed, manufactured, and assembled in-house.
As you might imagine, this leads to an incredible limited supply of F.P. Journe watches. For some elite collectors, the difficulty of obtaining an F.P. Journe watch is part of the appeal. Owning one of these elaborate timepieces is an immediate signal of one’s wealth, prowess, and taste. Without a doubt, an F.P. Journe

Since its introduction in 1963, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona line has been a staple of Rolex’s luxurious catalogue. The Daytona quickly became synonymous with high-performance motorsports; both its name and its functionality encapsulate the essence of speed and precision. It garnered its memorable title from the renowned Daytona International Speedway, located in Daytona Beach, Florida. You may also recognize the name: The Daytona 500 race, a staple of the NASCAR calendar, is held there each year to much acclaim.
From the start, the Daytona was designed to meet the unique demands of professional racing drivers. It is highly recognizable for its impeccable chronograph function, controlled by pushers on either side of the watch’s crown and displayed on three small subdials on the watch’s face. The Rolex Daytona also offers the in-demand tachymeter bezel, which has the ability to calculate average speed. All in all, this exquisite timepiece is a testament to Rolex’s precision engineering,

But for Avi Hiaeve, the founder and CEO of Avi & Co., creating our own luxury watches was just one small step in a legendary tale of growth and creativity. Since the release of our debut collection in 2023, we have launched two additional watch lines and a collection
