More than a showroom, AP House Singapore is a refined sanctuary where craftsmanship, culture, and culinary artistry converge. Whether indulging in haute horology, appreciating fine wines, or experiencing its world-first AP Café, this is a destination designed for those who cherish the finer things in life.
Located within the iconic Raffles Hotel, AP House Singapore occupies the historic Bar & Billiard Room, a venue steeped in heritage and charm. Once a social hub where conversations flowed as freely as fine spirits, it was also the setting for a rather infamous moment in Singapore’s history—a tiger from a nearby circus was once found roaming its halls.
Now, this storied space has been transformed into a contemporary haven that embodies the full universe of Audemars Piguet. Designed to capture the essence of the brand’s ethos—"Born in Le Brassus, raised around the world"—the venue spans an impressive 1,000 square metres, blending the elegance of Swiss craftsmanship with Singapore’s modern sophistication.
The interiors reflect a harmonious balance of nature and refinement, seamlessly integrating the serenity of Le Brassus with the lush vibrancy of Singapore’s Garden City. Muted green tones and gold accents lend an understated sense of luxury, while the use of organic materials such as wood and stone infuses warmth into the space. Towering Norfolk Pine trees echo the Spruce trees found in the Swiss Jura, creating a visual link between these two distinct landscapes. The central marble bar, featuring solid end stones that each weigh an astounding 800 kilograms, is a striking centrepiece, while locally sourced Rain Tree wood has been thoughtfully incorporated into focal design elements, including a sculptural feature wall, a statement coffee table in the lounge, and an elegant communal dining table.
A walk through the wood-panelled corridor offers an immersive journey into Audemars Piguet’s heritage, with a captivating digital installation showcasing the landscapes of Le Brassus as they change through the seasons—a poetic tribute to the home of the manufacture.
An Exhibition of Horological Mastery
From the moment guests step inside, they are welcomed into a world of horological excellence. A carefully curated selection of heritage timepieces is displayed across three Watch Totems, each telling the story of Audemars Piguet’s legacy. The grand opening exhibition included a Grand Complication pocket watch from the 1970s, a Complete Calendar wristwatch from the 1950s, and an evolutionary showcase of the Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore, and Royal Oak Concept collections. Among the standout pieces was a unique jewellery timepiece commissioned by a Singaporean collector in the 1990s, featuring an intricate Merlion engraving in solid gold on the dial.
Further inside, the Watch Wall offers an immersive look at the brand’s contemporary timepieces, providing a rare opportunity to admire everything from the timeless Royal Oak to the innovative Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet. The interplay of tradition and modernity is evident in every design, making it clear that each piece is more than just a watch—it is a statement of artistry and precision.
An Exclusive Experience Beyond Watches
Beyond its exceptional timepieces, AP House Singapore is designed as a place of discovery, conversation, and appreciation for the finer things in life. The Technical Table provides a deeper insight into the intricacies of haute horology, while the Watch Strap Wall allows guests to personalise their timepieces with an exquisite selection of straps. Lounge seating throughout the space encourages intimate discussions, perhaps over a carefully curated glass of Swiss wine from the in-house bar.
For those seeking exclusivity, three uniquely themed salons offer a more private experience. The Night Room, inspired by celestial movements, features a star-filled wall that pays homage to astronomical complications. The Music Room, designed as a tribute to artistic creativity, houses an impressive vinyl collection featuring legendary musicians. The Dining Room, with its refined oriental influences, provides the perfect setting for private gatherings and exclusive dining experiences.
AP Café: A World-First Culinary Experience
One of the most exciting aspects of AP House Singapore is AP Café, the first of its kind worldwide. More than just an extension of the brand’s hospitality, it is a seamless blend of haute horology and haute cuisine. To ensure an experience as refined as its timepieces, Audemars Piguet has partnered with Michelin-starred Burnt Ends, one of Singapore’s most renowned restaurants. The collaboration extends beyond the menu—the culinary team was invited to the manufacture in Le Brassus to immerse themselves in the brand’s philosophy, ensuring that every dish reflects the same level of precision, craftsmanship, and innovation.
A Fusion of Swiss Heritage and Singaporean Flair
Under its majestic arched ceilings, AP Café presents a menu that reimagines classic Swiss dishes with a distinctive Singaporean twist. The fusion of cultures is evident in every creation, mirroring the meticulous craftsmanship of Audemars Piguet’s timepieces. The Golden Rösti topped with crème fraîche and caviar is a refined take on a Swiss staple, while the White Pepper King Crab & Avocado, elegantly served in a caviar jar, offers a delicate yet indulgent flavour profile. The Spiced Beef Tartare with crispy wonton skins and Smoked Salmon wrapped in buckwheat crêpe are further highlights, bringing together bold flavours with sophisticated presentation.
For those with a sweet tooth, the dessert selection is equally impressive. The Gula Melaka Pain Suisse is a delightful nod to Southeast Asian flavours, while the Swiss Roll with Honey Ice Cream provides a light yet indulgent finale. The Silky Chocolate Tart and Hazelnut Tart are elegant in their simplicity, showcasing the finesse of artisanal patisserie.
The café’s beverage menu is equally curated, with a selection of cocktails crafted exclusively for AP House Singapore. The Strawberry Milk Punch, Alpine 75, and Clarified Swiss Sling reinterpret classic flavours with a contemporary touch, offering a refined drinking experience. For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, the coffee selection is as meticulously prepared as the timepieces on display.
A Destination Like No Other
With its seamless blend of horology, design, and gastronomy, AP House Singapore is more than just a boutique—it is an immersive retreat for those who appreciate the art of fine craftsmanship in all its forms. Whether exploring the brand’s rich heritage, admiring its latest timepieces, or indulging in a culinary experience like no other, every visit is an invitation to discover the world of Audemars Piguet in a way that is both refined and unforgettable.
For those yet to experience it, pre-booking is highly recommended—an unparalleled journey into the world of haute horology and fine living awaits.
