Listen up, gonna tell ya about this Audemars Piguet thing, whatever that fancy name means. Some big shot company, they say, making watches. Swiss watches, ain’t that somethin’? Real expensive stuff, for rich folks, not for the likes of us. Started way back, 1875, two fellas, Audemars and Piguet, slapped their names on it.
Heard they make ’em in a place called Le Brassus, in some valley in Switzerland. Fancy place, I reckon. And some lady, Jasmine, she was runnin’ the show for a bit, granddaughter or somethin’ of that Audemars fella. Guess she knows her watches.
They make all sorts of watches, I hear. Ones that chime the time, ones with calendars, ones that do all sorts of fancy tricks. Got one in 1881, they say, first one with their name. Then, ’92, they made one that tells ya the time every minute, can ya believe that? And then, somethin’ called a Grand Complication pocket watch, tells ya the date forever, has an alarm, and all sorts of other stuff. Rich folks must need all that, I guess.

They got a new boss now, a lady named Ilaria. She talks about passion and emotion, makin’ watches. Guess it’s more than just gears and springs to them fancy folks.
They even got some online thing, like a book, but on the computer, tells ya all about it. Wikipedia, they call it. Says someone changed it last year, November, must be keepin’ it up to date. All sorts of info, they say, but I ain’t got time for readin’ all that. Too busy with my own chores, ya know?
They say it’s a luxury brand, cost a pretty penny, these watches. Audemars Piguet, sounds like somethin’ a king would wear. Not for regular folks like us. But hey, nice to know about these things, ain’t it? Learn somethin’ new every day, they say.
People from all over write about ’em, in different languages too. Swedish folks, Hungarian folks, all talkin’ about Audemars Piguet. Must be famous, huh? Some folks say it real fancy, with a funny accent. “Odmar Peegay” or somethin’ like that. Fancy talk for fancy watches, I guess.
So there ya have it, all I know about that Audemars Piguet. Fancy watches, rich folks, long history. Now, let me get back to my work, ain’t got time for all this fancy talk.
