Audemars Piguet Starts Work on New Museum Extension for 2019
Combining the past, present and future of the hallowed brand.
Audemars Piguet is currently working on an extension to its existing museum building. The museum, based in the Swiss village of Le Brassus, has been there since 1868. The extension will be directly connected to the main building, but will be a modern take on the Audemars Piguet legacy.
According to the press release, “exhibition rooms will alternate with watch-making workshops, relaxation spaces, sound and cinema laboratories and contemporary art, making the ‘Maison des Fondateurs’ first and foremost a place for meeting, experiencing and sharing.”
