Audemars Piguet Établisseurs Peacock – A Living Work of Art
Born from the Atelier des Établisseurs, this creation brings time to life through movement, texture, and light, turning micro-mechanics into a theatrical tableau. A heartfelt homage to the tradition of secret watches, the Peacock embodies ancestral expertise and the contemporary innovation at the heart of Audemars Piguet.
The 18-carat white gold case is sculpted in the shape of a beetle, featuring a protective shell that opens via an automaton mechanism. When activated, the wings unfold to reveal a miniature hand-sculpted peacock head. The cartwheel tail acts as the dial, showcasing the supreme beauty of translucent enamelling and hand engraving.
A Fusion of Artistic Crafts and Sovereign Craftsmanship
The allure of the Établisseurs Peacock lies in the mastery of the artisans behind its every detail. From the gemstone-set eyes of the bird to the flexible, feather-inspired white gold bracelet.
Each link of the supple bracelet has been individually engraved and hollowed by hand, then articulated by gold joints to ensure a fluid drape. This fusion of enamelling, engraving, and gem-setting creates a piece that feels both luminous and alive—a rare masterpiece of artistic exploration.
Calibre 3098.2 – Mechanical Ingenuity in Motion
Beneath this living sculpture, the dragging-hour display is powered by the finely decorated Calibre 3098.2. Positioned at twelve o'clock, the dragging-hour aperture allows for a meditative observation of time passing within this mechanical tableau.
The refined finishing of the movement attests to the dedication of specialized artisans. The Établisseurs Peacock is not just a timekeeper; it is a symbol of creative freedom and the uncompromising pursuit of horological excellence.
