Product list - Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet

The Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet gives children aged 7 to 11 the opportunity to live an immersive, engaging and fun experience. A guided tour, in a small group of max. 8 children, is organised every Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 pm and provides the youngest with an interactive introduction to the world of watchmaking by blending history, practical workshop and entertainment.

Diving into the history of the Vallée de Joux, the young visitors will learn how climate and natural resources led to the development of Haute Horlogerie in the region. They will then discover the first local watchmakers and their creations as well as the origins of Audemars Piguet’s founding families. After an overview of the main horological complications and several of the 300 timepieces displayed in the museum, the children will take on the roles of watchmakers for the duration of a practical exercise. The tour will continue with the visit of the Métiers d’Art Atelier which will undoubtedly make their eyes sparkle before concluding on a brief history of the Royal Oak, the brand’s iconic timepiece.

The visitors will also be able to admire the artisans at work through the transparent walls of the production workshops located at the heart of the museum’s unconventional, ultra-contemporary glass spiral-shaped pavilion, which is connected to the brand’s historical house.

Reserve your tickets now for this fun and memorable moment, which will immerse children in both the history of watchmaking and the cultural universe of Audemars Piguet.

Please note: we would like to point out that the Visite Kids takes place without the presence of parents / carers.

In 2024, the Musée Atelier is offering visitors the opportunity to learn more about the different materials used in watchmaking through a special masterclass entitled "Shaping Materials".

Limited to 4 participants, the “Shaping Materials” masterclass takes place on Thursday afternoons and covers both theoretical and practical aspects to introduce you to the most exclusive watchmaking techniques.

On the programme:

• Immerse yourself in the history of Audemars Piguet through archival documents and pieces from the heritage collection.
• Practice some of the most emblematic Haute Horlogerie finishing techniques on a selection of precious charms, which will be offered to you as a souvenir.
• Discover the mechanical energy path of AP’s Calibre 4302.

The visit to the Musée Atelier is not included in the masterclass.

Experience the cultural world of Audemars Piguet, a blend of tradition, expertise and innovation. On our two-hour tour, you will discover more than 300 masterpieces of haute horlogerie presented in a ground-breaking exhibition concept.
