Audemars Piguet Unveils Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon with Ambush Duo Yoon and Verbal

Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet has partnered with Tokyo-based fashion duo Yoon and Verbal, founders of the streetwear and jewelry label Ambush, for a distinctive new timepiece. The collaboration results in the Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon, a limited edition watch designed to merge high-end watchmaking with modern cultural influences.

The new watch boasts a 38.5mm titanium case, characterized by its sandblasted, satin-brushed, and polished finishes. It features a black aventurine dial, offering a shimmering backdrop, and is highlighted by a vivid red tourbillon cage. This bold red accent is a signature color for Yoon and Verbal, symbolizing the "heart of the watch" and the energy that drives it.

Red has always been a powerful color for us, while the tourbillon cage represents the heart of the watch – the force that keeps everything in motion. Red evokes the Earth’s core: the origin point, the source of energy and, ultimately, the beginning of how we measure time itself.

Yoon, a designer and creative director, and Verbal, a music producer and cultural entrepreneur, bring their extensive experience in fashion, music, and contemporary culture to the design. Their previous collaborations include work with major brands like Nike, Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Bvlgari. This partnership with Audemars Piguet underscores their influence in blending luxury with avant-garde design.

The Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon is powered by the Calibre 2982 movement, developed specifically for this limited edition. Only 150 pieces will be available, making it a highly sought-after item for collectors and enthusiasts of both horology and fashion.
