Audemars Piguet Official Timekeeper of Barclays Golf Tournament & AP Golf Trophy 2014
New York , NY- August 27th , 2014 - For the third consecutive year, Audemars Piguet was the Official Timekeeper sponsor of The Barclays Golf Tournament at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey. As part of the tournament’s opening events, Audemars Piguet proudly sponsored the Draw Party on Tuesday, August 19th , prior to Wednesday’s pro-am golf tournament. In addition, Audemars Piguet was the 10th Hole Sponsor of the pro-am and had placement of five Audemars Piguet clocks throughout the course. Further branding opportunities included advertising on the tournament’s leaderboards as well as having a Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42mm on display during the Draw Party.

Following the Barclay’s tournament, Audemars Piguet ambassadors, Peter Hanson, Ian Poulter, and Bud Cauley participated in the Audemars Piguet Golf Trophy 2014 at nearby Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City. It was a rare opportunity for Audemars Piguet clients to play with brand ambassadors against the backdrop of the stunning mile-long waterfront affording breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline – most notably the Statue of Liberty.
The winners of the Audemars Piguet Golf Trophy were decided in a scramble with the best ball of the four teams of players. Teams consisted of two foursomes and players on the winning team were each awarded an Audemars Piguet golf bag.
A raffle then awarded four players a pair of Berluti golf shoes, which are being launched by the Maison on September 2014. Swing, the first ready-to-wear golf shoe made by Berluti, allies an unprecedented fusion of traditional savoir-faire and state-of-the-art technology.
Hanson, Poulter, and Cauley each selected to wear Audemars Piguet watches as follows. Poulter sported a Royal Oak Openworked Extra-thin in rose gold. Hanson played in a Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 44mm in black ceramic. Cauley wore a stainless steel Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42mm. The skill and precision the elite athletes displayed on the course, once again perfectly embodied the brand’s philosophy “to break the rules, you must first master them”.
About Audemars Piguet
Audemars Piguet is the oldest fine watchmaking manufacturer still in the hands of its founding families (Audemars and Piguet). Since 1875, the company has written some of the finest chapters in the history of haute horlogerie, including a number of world firsts. In the Vallée de Joux, at the heart of the Swiss Jura, numerous masterpieces are created in limited series embodying a remarkable degree of horological perfection, including daring sporty models, classic and traditional timepieces, splendid ladies’ jewellery-watches, as well as one-of-a-kind creations. The famous 1972 octagonal Royal Oak, the first luxury watch to be made of stainless steel, is widely recognised as one of the most important innovations in watchmaking.
Berluti
The foundations of Berluti date back to Paris in 1895 and have been built by four generations of the Berluti family, who cultivated an exceptional know-how in the mastery of last making, a deep understanding of fine footwear and a passion for leather and patina. Berluti today is more than a bootmaker, in 2005 fine leather goods were introduced and, in 2011, with the appointment of Artistic Director, Alessandro Sartori, a complete clothing collection.
Berluti has had stores in many capital cities since 2013, with its Maison openings in Paris, London, Shanghai, Tokyo and, most recently, New York. The tailoring know-how of Arnys workshops has been deployed to create the “Grande Mesure” fully bespoke tailoring service, supplementing the House’s shoemaking expertise and opening up unlimited horizons with the option of a head-to-toe bespoke wardrobe.
