New Book Traces Audemars Piguet History
Founded in 1875 in Le Brassus by watchmakers Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet, today the Manufacture Audemars Piguet employs almost 1,000 people in Switzerland and around the world. This new book illustrates the Audemars Piguet passion for fine watchmaking, cultivated for 136 years. Audemars Piguet began in a workshop in a family home in a small town in the Jura. Finding its way through the political and economic upheavals of the 20th century, the brand has succeeded in perpetuating the values of its founders while combining high-tech procedures with the patient work of its artisans. The new Audemars Piguet book relates the story of the firm since its founding through richly illustrated chronological sequences.

The pages offer

New photos of my 68/69 Dateline S-577

New York Standard balance staff size?
i have a New York Standard Watch Co. pocket watch, serial number (1.09mil) puts it at 1898 to 1899 date of manufacture. it is in a keystone silveroid case, sub second hand dial, 7 jewel movement. i took it to my watch maker, and he said the jewels dont show much if any wear, but the balance staff is broken. however, he doesnt work on them anymore because parts are few and far between. i started picking around looking for parts myself, and while they arent plentiful, there are some around, but in different sizes. what should i look for to see what size balance staff i need?
