Audemars Piguet Novelty Watches: More Art Than Watch

Audemars Piguet is a great watch company that spends its time giving back much of its profits and time to save the forests all over the world. But even without such a great cause, this company would stand out. It watches are incredibly unique and contain a vast collection of stunning novelty pieces. There are several features that make these pieces so interesting and completely unique.

Audemars Piguet always has and always will make entirely mechanical timepieces. These mechanical timepieces are very complicated and luxurious. And on top of that, some of the novelties in this company look more like works of art that what the world commonly thinks of as a watch.

There are two things that Audemars Piguet does to make its novelty watches so unique. The first of these is making the face of the watch completely transparent. Most watch companies focus on legibility at a glance, especially with watches created for specific purposes. But Audemars Piguet treats its watches like fine jewelry. These watches are an art, right down to the mechanics inside them, which the company believes should be given as much recognition as the outside of them. The transparent dials expose features of these watches, such as the tourbillon. This feature is very unusual. Only a few companies have decided to expose the inner workings of their watches. These companies usually boast incredibly difficult handmade mechanisms.

Audemars Piguet also uses the idea of concentric circles on many of its watches. These circles overlap, intertwine, and complement each other as well as the cases of the watch, which are always around. This creates a unique, artistic look to even their novelty watches that don’t contain transparent dials. Some of the circles feature slightly turned hour markers. This means the numbers are larger in one area than another, creating the effect of a sort of perspective on the watches.

The Audemars Piguet novelty watch collection is very vast. These great imitation watches incredible craftsmanship and a more artistic approach to things than most companies. They create transparent dials so that you can see when you look at the time the incredible movement that goes on inside the watch because they believe it is just as important. And all of this great artistic work is done by a company that takes its time and profits and gives back to saving trees -  a great company with a good cause as well.
