Redefining Luxury
Audemars Piguet and The Hour Glass creates an intimate and engaging showcase
The Hour Glass at Paragon Singapore welcomes a new shop-in-shop showcase by Audemars Piguet. The store conceptualised the brand’s 140 years of core values into its design, incorporating its origins, artistry and extraordinary relationship through the blend of wood, metal and idyllic landscapes of Le Brassus in Vallée de Joux in Switzerland, birthplace of Audemars Piguet. The new space also commemorates over 30 years of The Hour Glass’s illustrious partnership with Audemars Piguet, one of the world’s oldest luxury watch manufacture.
Emblematic timepiece and limited editions can be found in The Hour Glass. One such timepiece is the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Chronograph. There are only 5 pieces to the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Chronograph in 18-carat yellow gold, created in dedication to The Hour Glass. Cased in 18-carats of luxurious yellow gold, the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Chronograph features the tourbillion visible at the 9 o’clock and a linear chronograph minute counter with central sweep-seconds hand, set on the mainplate of the movement that acts as the dial, charmingly complemented by the alligator strap in a royal shade of green.
In 2015, Audemars Piguet also presented the Royal Oak Extra-thin The Hour Glass with 50 limited pieces. The timepiece features an 18-carat yellow gold case and bracelet, showcasing the brand’s signature “petite tapisserie” dials in an exquisite shade of green. It also features a personalised oscillating weight engraved with the inscription of “The Hour Glass” and “One of Fifty”.
Both timepieces will be exclusively available at The Hour Glass. Exemplifying Audermars Piguet’s pursuit for horological developments, these pieces highlight the Manufacture’s independent attitude and savoir-faire. The new shop-in-shop brings out the quintessence of Audemars Piguet’s DNA and values, closely linking its heritage to the history of Vallée de Joux, and celebrating the brand’s mastery in fine watchmaking.
