"Beating calibers and the perpetually ticking hands of a watch have been symbols of fine craftsmanship and engineering, two dimensions that artificial intelligence is inching to chime with. If you were, like me, watching from the sidelines, believing there was time before a bigger name delved into AI, you wouldn't have seen this coming. On the flip side, those who believe Audemars Piguet (AP) has the mettle to give us remarkable timepieces and accessories ahead of their time: this is the moment to savor."
"After the amazing Marvel-themed Royal Oak Concept and the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon "Companion", AP is now changing the watchmaking industry with the latest innovation that goes beyond the wrist. The setting box designed to adjust the company's 41mm Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is a robotic system, which uses AI to read and interpret the watch and set its functions like a human, without actually using human intervention."
"Instead of the special corrections that this precise adjustment requires, the AP box can set it right in minutes automatically. Box upon placing the perpetual calendar timepiece in it uses a "camera to capture the dial configuration and analyse which calendar indications require adjustment." And then using a combination of "robotics, computer vision, and AI" completes the setting operation in approximately five minutes."
Audemars Piguet developed an AI-powered watch box that automatically sets its 41mm Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in about five minutes. The device uses a camera, computer vision, robotics and AI to read the dial configuration, analyze which calendar indications require adjustment and complete the setting operation without human intervention. The system functions like a human setter but operates autonomously. The box aims to simplify the complex and delicate corrections required by perpetual calendar mechanisms and offers a faster, more effective alternative to manual adjustments. The concept extends AP's innovations beyond wristwatches, redefining watch boxes as functional robotic setting devices.
