Following the hackneyed trails of the ancient watch makers is not classicism. Sometimes the Audemars Piguet defys the convention of the round and chooses the oval face. However, this detour from the past is not at the neglect of details. The watches are an example crafted art that captures the attention of the onlooker. In perfect art artist and the art becomes one. In these watches a stylish wearer of the watch and the watch merges perfectly that we see both the watch and the person as one.

So the watches are strewn with stars and moons as in the Milky Way. There is also a rich supply of diamonds in keeping with the celestial theme. The Starlit collection comes in black and blue representing the night and white and gold signifying the day. One line of watches has the musical theme of the piano. The face of the watch is made up rectangles of white and black visually echoing the key board of a piano. There are watches that cater to the special tastes like the ones that can be used for diving. There are watches that represent many time zones.


Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

The question why wear a watch when you can wear a legend, is certainly true in the case of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. The challenge that faced the modern watchmaker in the new era is the reinterpretation of watch making to satisfy the ethos of the present generation. The result was the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. When the Royal Oak was launched in 1972 the success of the watch was far above the expectations of the watchmakers.
  
There is a fascinating array of ideas behind the Royal Oak taking us back to the early dawn of human history when man named the oak the king of all trees and gave the tree a royal touch. In recent history King Charles the II of England, Scotland and Wales found a hiding place in the hollows of huge oak tree when he was being pursued by his enemies. The king of trees thus played host to the King of England.
The role of the fleet in the wars of Napoleon is a theme that has glorified all the vessels that play roles in the battles. The navy is associated with the oak from the traditional use of the wood in the making of the ships. The inspiration behind the name Royal Oak is closely related to the sea faring tradition of man.
The chief features of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak are the octagonal shape and a bezel set by hexagonal screws in white gold. It is difficult to see how the hexagonal screw has been driven in the case of the watch. The design of the bracelet has been integrated into the design of the watch that observer feel that both form a single piece. There is a sequel to the bang of the success of the first Royal Oak. In 1993 the company launched the Royal Oak Offshore. The watch comes with many features incorporating new materials and using manufacturing techniques that go into the making of an aircraft.
