The 150 Heritage marks a return to form for Audemars Piguet
- Of the presentations showcased at AP Social Club, the conception of the new Neo Frame collection—inaugurated with the Neo Frame Jumping Hour—has garnered the most discussion. However, Audemars Piguet’s return to form in the Heritage 150 is equally worthy of discussion
- Commemorating a century and a half of the pursuit of horological excellence, the Audemars Piguet Heritage 150 unites centuries of astronomical observation, technical mastery, and craftsmanship
- A tribute to astronomical observation, the 150 Heritage is a pocket watch that arrives in a 50mm platinum case which houses the calibre 1150, an ultra-complicated movement that has 47 functions and 30 complications, including a universal calendar that is visible in the caseback cover and displays a panoramic view of celestial rhythms that have influenced cultural celebrations since antiquity, going beyond the Gregorian system showcased in perpetual calendars to unite the solar, lunar, and lunisolar calendars in one place
- The universal calendar functions independently of the calibre 1150 and is synchronied until 2099, regardless of the movement’s power reserve
- The 50mm platinum case has been hand-engraved by master artisans, with the mid-case acting as a canvas for scenes and motifs depicting the brand’s history
- The calibre 1150 is a manually wound manufacture movement that builds on the legacy of L’Universelle—a pocket watch crafted for Union Glashütte in 1899 and the manufacture’s most complicated pocket watch to date—and La Grosse Pièce, a second ultra-complicated pocket watch from 1921, as well as the calibre 1000 introduced in 2023
- The calibre 1150 incorporates the core architecture of the calibre 1000 and adapts it for use in a pocket watch, converting it to a hand-wound format and removing the oscillating weight. The calibre 1150 has a 60-hour power reserve
- The Audemars Piguet Heritage 150 is presented on a platinum chain
