The Atelier Audemars Piguet Spiral Museum in Switzerland is something you simply want to see!

Bjarke Ingels Group has completed a modern museum for the luxury Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet. This stands next to the original 1875 workshop of Jules Louis Audemars and Edward August Piguet.

Spiral building, which found its home in the Vallée de Joux, in the small town of Le Brassus in Switzerland, is a modern addition to the historic building. Structured curved glass walls support a steel roof, on which grass is planted to regulate temperature, and brass mesh screens filter light.

Visitors begin their tour next door to the original building and proceed clockwise to where a collection of 300 hours! In the very center of the spiral, the most complicated piece of the brand is located in a glass sphere, Universelle watch, surrounds her eight other key Audemars Piguet watches. The whole thing is reminiscent of the Solar System, where the Universelle is the center, and the other clocks revolve around it.
