The watchmaking brand originated in 1875 in the quaint Swiss Village of Le Brassus in Vallée de Joux, north of Geneva. Two young entrepreneurs (and childhood friends) Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet founded it in 1875. The manufacturer instantly distinguished itself in the watchmaking industry with its Grande Complication pieces.
The two made a great team. Audemars focused on creating complex watch movements to sell to watch manufacturers while

Dual time watches are equipped with two hour hands to indicate two different time zones. The primary hour hand must be independently adjustable by hour increments, and the second-hour hand indicates 12 or 24 hours. They are more complicated than a GMT because they move on two subdials, however, both serve the same purpose.
