Experimenting the same harsh winter conditions that the Audemars Piguet founders lived in when they opened the Manufacture in 1875, Indian actress Freida Pinto, who was revealed in Slumdog Millionaire, and France’s favorite actor Omar Sy, lately seen in Inferno, discovered a wealth of world-first and complicated timepieces while touring the private museum and restoration workshop.
Freida Pinto was amazed at the watchmakers’ passion and dedication when working on tiny components with such craftsmanship. The new Royal Oak Frosted Gold watches also caught her attention with their sparkling effect. Fresh from filming her next series Guerrilla, Freida had attended the product launch event in Florence earlier on, where she had the pleasure to meet with jewellery designer Carolina Bucci who collaborated with Audemars Piguet to create the Royal Oak Frosted Gold.
Omar Sy on the other hand, was particularly sensitive to the heritage of the brand and the fact that it is still owned and run by the founding families. He enjoyed trying on the new watchs that were recently presented at the 2017 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva and spent a full hour successfully assembling a movement with unbelievable concentration and determination!
