The fusion of instrumental sounds and digital technology expresses the shared values ​​of the artists, while Ray’s outstanding vocals further enhance the groovy melody. When she suggested the song title “Suzanne,” Mark was surprised by the coincidence. The name evoked a figure deeply connected to his past, but it wasn’t until the editing stage that the pair linked it to the story of Suzanne Audemars, a direct descendant of the Audemars and Piguet families whose courage was crucial to the founding of Audemars Piguet. Suzanne Audemars’ inspiring story was featured in a recent AP Chronicle, and this serendipitous connection cemented the song’s title. In addition, the film “Syncing Sounds 150” by director Teodor Gyula gives an exclusive look behind the scenes of the music production, exploring the process from their artistic vision and inspiration to the recording process. Ray and Mark Ronson’s
contrasting styles perfectly capture the craftsmanship, passion and collaborative spirit that the brand values. Ronson’s meticulous and thoughtful style is delicate and calm, naturally complementing Ray’s lively character and powerful expressiveness. Together, they embody the balance between tradition and innovation, freedom and precision – the harmony that is essential to watchmaking and music. ■Ray (singer-songwriter)

I am inspired by artists whose work continues to be loved even after their death. Creating “Suzanne” with Mark Ronson was a miraculous experience. And when I heard that this song is deeply connected to the brand’s story, I was so surprised that I was speechless! I am truly honored to be able to create a song with AP and the legend Mark Ronson. I love this song and I’m so proud of it… it all feels like fate.” ■Mark Ronson (DJ, composer, record producer)

We are delighted to be working with Audemars. Meeting through Piguet’s APxMusic program was like the stars aligning perfectly. This is not just a project, it’s something we put all our effort into, recording all night in London, New York and Los Angeles. The music we made together blended our musicality and took us to a place neither of us could have reached alone. There’s no more exciting moment than when a song is completed and released to the world. We hope it resonates with people all over the world as it has resonated with us.” About Audemars Piguet Audemars Piguet is the oldest luxury watch brand still run by the founding family (Audemars and Piguet).
