Catalogue Essay
In 1907, Audemars Piguet created a unique minute repeating wristwatch for the famed American industrialist John Shaeffer, Vice President of the Allied Chemical Corporation, located in Morristown, New Jersey. This timepiece later inspired Audemars Piguet's "John Shaeffer" series that was launched in the 1990s.
The present watch is a 1990s re-interpretation of the now-iconic wristwatch. Displaying Breguet numerals and subsidiary seconds at 6 o'clock, this minute repeating model chimes with great tone and clarity. Cased in platinum, it is furthermore heavy and substantial on the wrist while being subtle and sophisticated.
