- The first Audemars Piguet watch with a minute repeater was created in 1907 for the famous American industrialist John Schaeffer who wanted to personalize his watch by having Audemars Piguet position the letters of his name on the hour markers. The historic Tonneau shaped case which inspired this design is often referred to as "Carre Galbe" which directly translates to "Bent Square".
- Any AP watch made in the 1990s, whether it was a minute repeater or other complication, that used the "carre galbe" cushion-shaped case is thus given the appellation "John Schaeffer."
