Hollywood glamour hasn’t gone too far in this economy.  Audemars Piguet has announced that it will be “the” sponsor for the 63rd Annual Tony Awards.

The Tony Awards will be held on June 7th at Radio City Music Hall in New York. We love the fact that Audemars Piguet will be thinking out of the box when it comes to incorporating their luxury watches into this year’s Tony Awards theme.

The luxury watch company will be putting on display… right on the red carpet… 8 solid aluminum clocks decorated by the nominees for Best Play and Best Musical to represent each of the productions.

Of course it doesn’t stop there, after the award Audemars Piguet will take the clocks and put them on display on 57th street in Manhattan at their flagship boutique and then auction them off for The Actor’s Fund.

According to Francois-Henry Bennahmias, CEO & President of North America Audemars Piguet:
“The Tonys are a perfect complement to Audemars Piguet, as theatre celebrates life on a daily basis and rewards all those who experience it.”

Of course, we would love to get an inside look at the making of the luxury clocks.  We know Audemars Piguet is pulling out all the stops.

Oh I just adore this video of the Audemars Piguet, but tell me that it doesn’t remind you of a Tim Burton movie along the lines of A Nightmare Before Christmas with its haunting melody, and the inner workings of the watch at the end. Actually that ending is one of the things I think I like the very best about it. I told you before I’m fascinated by how intricate and delicate the inner workings of something we take so for granted is.

What first drew me to the video was the lunar aspects of the watch. All the dials is a really enticing characteristic in a watch for me, and astrology and astrological impact is exciting. I really love Audemars Piguet styles in watches.
