Audemars Piguet Teases a Collaboration with KAWS
The iconic Swiss watchmaker and contemporary artist will seemingly redefine what it means to wear art on your wrist.
Audemars Piguet has just set the art and luxury watch worlds abuzz with a tantalizing teaser that’s impossible to ignore. The iconic Swiss watchmaker has hinted at an exciting collaboration with none other than Brian Donnelly, better known as KAWS, the celebrated artist behind some of the most recognizable modern pop art. While details remain tightly under wraps, one thing is crystal clear: KAWS’ beloved Companion character is making a cameo—and fans of both brands are clamoring for more.
The teaser, shared on Instagram, oozes mystery. It begins with a shadowy figure reaching for a branded craftsman’s apron. The scene cuts to this enigmatic figure peering through a foggy glass divider. What’s on the other side? KAWS’ unmistakable Companion character, its gloved hands pressed against the glass in a pose that’s equal parts playful and thought-provoking. The clip ends with the logos of Audemars Piguet and KAWS, accompanied by the intriguing message: “APxKAWS. Stay tuned.”
Speculation is already running wild. Could this collaboration give us a fresh spin on the legendary Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet’s most iconic timepiece? Or might it step into entirely uncharted territory, blending the worlds of art and haute horology in ways we’ve never seen? The possibilities feel as expansive and daring as KAWS’ own artistic vision.
For now, the partnership remains shrouded in mystery. But with Audemars Piguet’s unparalleled craftsmanship and KAWS’ knack for pushing creative boundaries, the results are almost guaranteed to be extraordinary. Keep your eyes peeled—this is one collaboration you won’t want to miss.
