During his visit, the legendary multi-talented artist, trumpeter, composer and producer Quincy Jones, discovered the manufacturing secrets of Audemars Piguet timepieces and in particular those of the watch bearing his name, the Millenary Quincy Jones, which was presented at the SIHH 2010.Before the workshop tour, Audemars Piguet Art Director Octavio Garcia recalled the fruitful work undertaken with the famous musician in creating the Millenary Quincy Jones, a watch featuring resolutely contemporary lines and a sophisticated design playing on nuances and subtle contrasts between brilliant and satin-polished su***ces echoing the notes on the keyboard of a piano, an instrument dear to the artist��s heart. Throughout this radiantly sunny day, Quincy Jones admired the work of these skilled watch*** artisans, commenting that ��these men and women really impress me by their precision and the expertise they display in shaping these timeless gems. They are great creative talents and passionately dedicated artists, just like those for whom I serve as producer.For several years, Audemars Piguet and this exceptional individual have been associated in developing ��Project Q?, aimed at raising political and public awareness of young people��s need for self-expression and the means that must be provided to ensure they fulfil their true potential. The cornerstone of ��Project Q? is the ��Q Prize?, an international award presented by Audemars Piguet and honouring a public figure or social organisation having played a central role on behalf of children. Through his Quincy Jones Foundation, the artist is also committed to helping children by improving their well-being, their health and their dignity. The new Millenary Quincy Jones watch will contribute to raising funds for this foundation.Know-how, artistic passion and empathy. Such shared values were bound to further strengthen the ties between this music legend and the famous Swiss watch manufacturer.In speaking of the man behind the foundation, Audemars Piguet CEO Philippe Merk said: Quincy Jones is not only an amazing artist and a daring entrepreneur, but above all a man with a big heart. One cannot help admiring his career, especially considering the difficulties he encountered during his childhood. He gives us an important life lesson and naturally inspires profound respect.Before returning to Montreux where he will present his new ��Quincy Jones & the Global Gumbo All Stars? ensemble, this informal yet highly emotional visit paid to the Manufacture will remain engraved in the memory of the company and its personnel. Much like the master-watchmakers who have been steadily forging the reputation of Audemars Piguet for the past 135 years, Quincy Jones has been shaping the history of music for several decades already.Source: Audemars Piguet

Two brands of equal notoriety in the watch manufacturing industry have decided to join their efforts into creating a masterpiece of Haute Horlogerie, a timepiece that would defy time and trends, a timepiece that could be given as an example of perfection for the future generations. Chanel and Audemars Piguet are the names of these two brands and you can be sure that any timepiece born out of this partnership is the best you can get in terms of both technical movement and design. The fact that the J12 Collection was a huge success on the market has determined Chanel to take things to a higher level, that of excellence in Haute Horlogerie. This new approach required the help of a watch manufacturer who was already initiated in highly qualified watch manufacturing and what brand could be more appropriate than that of Audemars Piguet? With years of history behind it, the brand of Audemars Piguet is famous for creating unique timepieces that introduce highly progressive technical movements, a competitive company that has dedicated talent, passion and years of technical expertise to a remarkable collection of timepieces that speak for themselves. The Chanel J 12 collection is very popular and it features models that have brought the brand an amazing international reputation. Chanel wants now to work on an improvement of the models included in the J 12 collection by developing, in partnership with Audemars Piguet, an automatic movement with three hands. The new movement will be included in the new timepiece called Chanel J12 Calibre 3125, a real statement of technical know-how in watch manufacturing. The new J12 calibre 3125 was included in the Chanel's Exclusive Edition and it features a 42 mm in diameter case made of a beautiful combination of 18 carats yellow gold and black ceramic. The bezel is made of the same materials and it moves in only one direction. The case is covered like most watches in sapphire crystal and shelters an automatic movement that goes by the name of CHANEL AP 3125, generating a power reserve of 60 hours and a 50 meters water resistance. The innovation of the double balance bridge pushes the limits of precision to perfection by creating a better shock resistance system. The watch is highly progressive and uses the best technology there is in terms of mechanical movement. The new Chanel J12 Calibre 3125 is available on a black ceramic bracelet fitted with a buckle that bears the logo of Chanel and that is made of 18 k yellow gold. It is outstanding how two brands have managed to combine one's technical expertise with one's prestige for design and created one of the best timepieces of our century, a timepiece that combines a delicate and sophisticated design with a state-of-art technology in watch manufacturing. A remarkable watch indeed, the new Chanel J12 Calibre 3125 represents the pride of both Chanel and Audemars Piguet.Chanel and Audemars Piguet J12 calibre 3125 Pictures Gallery
