Jonathan King, Audemars Piguet SE Asia CEO, wants to visit space as a tourist

Jonathan King, who joined Audemars Piguet Singapore as CEO for Southeast Asia, knows a thing or thousand about picking a good watch, but, apart from that, he is also an avid traveler, constantly looking for new experiences.

“I want to visit some of the magical parts of India where the pace of life changes. Places where you can switch off and see a gentler and kinder part of life which you can’t find in a city state. Apart from that, visiting space as a tourist is on my bucket list. After all, I fly a lot, so what are a few extra kilometers?” he tells ETPanache.

Apart from those on his to-do list, his favourite reason for travelling has been scuba diving.

“I have had the great enjoyment of scuba diving in various places — very warm places, very cold places. But I enjoy going to Thailand and the Similan Islands [a group of islands in the Andaman Sea].”.
