Audemars Piguet has unveiled a new collaboration with Yoon Ahn and Verbal, founders of AMBUSH and two of the most influential figures in contemporary Japanese fashion, music, and design. The project is based on the Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon and pushes it into a more experimental territory, drawing inspiration from industrial design, jewelry, and modern urban culture.
The watch retains the distinctive architecture of the Royal Oak Concept collection while being reinterpreted through the visual language of AMBUSH. Its 43 mm titanium case, openworked movement, and dark finishes create a presence that feels very different from a traditional Royal Oak. The result is a piece that explores new forms, materials, and proportions while remaining true to Audemars Piguet’s technical expertise.

Yoon and Verbal’s influence is particularly evident in the details. Over the years, AMBUSH has built a strong identity through bold accessories, technical materials, and an aesthetic that blends fashion, design, and street culture. That visual universe naturally finds its way into the watch, giving it a distinctive personality rarely seen in traditional haute horlogerie.

The Flying Tourbillon sits at the center of the openworked movement and becomes one of the watch’s focal points. Rather than concealing its mechanical complexity, Audemars Piguet makes it a key element of the design, allowing the wearer to appreciate the movement from multiple angles.

In recent years, the Swiss Manufacture has strengthened its connections with artists, musicians, and designers capable of introducing watchmaking to new audiences. This collaboration with Yoon and Verbal continues that approach, showing how the Royal Oak Concept collection can serve as a platform for creative experimentation while maintaining the technical excellence for which Audemars Piguet is known.
