It seems that nothing excites watch collectors more than debating how one brand differs from another. Today, we will examine two famous brands in the watchmaking industry that are accomplished watchmakers.
Chopard is also a famous watchmaker, but they are known more for their high-end jewelry, unlike Audemars Piguet, which is first and foremost a timepiece. What’s more, Audemars Piguet is one of the “Big-3” brands, often referred to as the Holy Trinity of watchmaking, as this watchmaker is adored by watch collectors all over the world.
The Royal Oak and the Royal Oak Offshore, with their waffle-patterned grande complication dial design, are two of AP’s famous models. Despite being stainless steel case models, several of them have five-figure prices. Audemars Piguet was the first brand to warn the industry that the value of a copy Rolex watch comes from the watchmaking mysteries contained within the case, not from the materials used in its manufacture.
Audemars Piguet is an extremely rare brand, and while Chopard is a famous name in both luxury jewelry and watches, they are not yet comparable to a behemoth like AP in terms of resale value. Audemars Piguet has made their products more difficult to obtain, leading to higher costs for them in both the new and pre-owned markets.
Both watchmakers are capable of producing difficult timepieces. Chopard has a collection called L.U.C. that showcases some of their most complicated timepieces, as we pointed out earlier. The images below clearly show the movements used in Chopard’s flagship collection. Throughout its long history, Audemars Piguet has produced some particularly complex timepieces. Among its AP Grandes Complications timepieces, the minute repeater, split-seconds chronograph, and perpetual calendar complications are all mandatory.
Both watchmakers produce mechanical watches, as do battery-powered quartz replica watches, the latter being more affordable. Quartz-powered timepieces are significantly more accurate than mechanical watches. After all, people don’t buy replica watches for their superior accuracy. People often buy mechanical watches for their luxury and the esoteric value of interesting mechanical movements.
The typical warranty offered by a fine watch is two years. Chopard is one of the watchmakers that gives a standard two-year warranty. Certain mid-to-high-end luxury watchmakers have recently begun offering extended warranties, and Audemars Piguet is certainly one of them. Of course, in order to get a longer warranty, you must first register your device with them.
