Selected Timepieces
The unique allure of Piaget lies in the audacity of its style. Charismatic and flamboyant, dazzling watch and jewellery creations embody the radiance that defines the Maison.
This year, the stunning Bridal collection by Piaget celebrates the strength of loving ties. A vivid and exclusive symbol of radiant love, the new Piaget solitaire ring combines diamonds and platinum to seal a commitment to life as a couple.
Reflecting boundless creativity inspired by loving ties, the latest addition to the Piaget Bridal collection is endowed with the graceful elegance of an ethereal jewellery piece featuring dainty diamond ‘ribbons’ epitomising the ties that bind lovers uniting for life. Crowning their present and future love, a one-carat brilliant-cut solitaire sparkles brightly on this exquisite ring. Sweethearts choose it to write their own story, carefully preserved in this secret jewellery garden.
The solitaire diamond showcases the diamond expertise cultivated by the Maison. Carefully selected by gemmologists based on the most stringent tests, Piaget chooses diamonds combining the best of four quality criteria, the famous “4C” established by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) that define the colour, cut, clarity and carat weight. Once in the jewellery ateliers, the diamonds are set on unalterable platinum. The dexterity of the master-gem setters guarantees the perfect regularity of the gems, whose fascinating sparkle accentuates the timeless beauty of this creation.
Subtly echoing the solitaire ring that is slipped onto the finger as a proof of radiant love, the Piaget Altiplano Chronograph gently embraces the masculine wrist. A Fine Watchmaking masterpiece holding twin slimness records for a major horological complication, this elegant watch prolongs this unique moment of commitment of which it remains an enduring witness.
Creations from the Piaget Bridal are precious and loyal companions that excel in celebrating all love stories, offering each individual their very own solitaire ring or timepiece to cultivate and perpetuate the feeling of radiant love.
Piaget Jardin Secret Solitaire
& Altiplano Chronograph Watch
Revered and admired, Jackie Kennedy was one of the most popular and most photographed First Ladies of the 20th century. “Jackie,” starring Natalie Portman as the wife of President John F Kennedy, is an unflinching portrait of a woman both iconic and mysterious, as well as a rumination on faith, history, mythology and loss.
Known for her elegant fashions and accessories, this fascinating character appears in the new film wearing her original gold Piaget watch and other Piaget fine jewelry pieces that embody her iconic style.
Blending fiction and reality, “Jackie” by director Pablo Larrain paints a vivid picture of the iconic First Lady. This in-depth portrait of Jackie Kennedy follows her over a period of four days starting shortlybefore the assassination on 22ndNovember 1963. In keeping with her trademark style and Larrain’s authentic approach, the treasured watch that Jackie Kennedy wore during that era makes a special appearance on her wrist in certain scenes of the film. Robert Kennedy, the President’s younger brother played by co-star Peter Sarsgaard, also wears a vintage Piaget watch that embodies the elegance of that period.
Featuring an oval jade dial set with diamonds and green tourmalines, this watch is fitted with a very supple fabric-like bracelet made from gold mesh adorned with the very Piaget “palace” decor. The elegant timepiece that once belonged to Jackie Kennedy is emblematic of Piaget’s golden age with its fine goldsmithing and colored stones. It is now part of the Maison’s patrimony. A collection released in 2014 included several creations inspired by this special watch and its distinctly look. To coincide with the international release of the new movie, Piaget will be editing a special edition of the iconic watch with its characteristic hard stone dial available as of January 2017.

Magnificent dragon, mischievous monkey or sinuous snake, transforming the signs of the Chinese zodiac into vibrant works of art has become Piaget’s very own celebration of the Chinese New Year. Every year since 2012, the Maison has staged that year’s zodiac sign on the dial of one of its ultra-thin Altiplano watches, masterfully handcrafted in the great Grand Feu cloisonné enamelling tradition. In 2017 the rooster joins
A Very Piaget Celebration For The Chinese New Year
The Rooster Reigns Supreme on the Altiplano Chinese Zodiac
Fusing the finest watchmaking with its passion for the decorative arts, world-renowned master enameller Anita Porchet has unleashed her imagination to bring to life the Rooster of the Chinese zodiac. A sign symbolizing confidence, punctuality, loyalty and honesty, the rooster is known for its pride of appearance therefore requiring a staging that was true to its distinguished personality. Turning once again to the cloisonné enamelling technique, she is able to reimagine the rooster in the signature style of the collection defined by its infinite shades of grey. By partitioning the enamel pigments using cloisons before they are fired multiple times at over 800°C in the kiln, she is able to better isolate the shades of grey from light to more intense in order to express the subtlest of detailing.
Master of this art of perfection, Anita Porchet breathes life into the exuberant rooster with creative virtuosity, achieving textures so elaborate and detailing so intricate that its luscious plumage seems to glisten as the magnificent creature poses majestically on the dial of the watch. Contrasting with the many tones of grey, white and black, the comb on its head and the wattle beneath its chin stands out in a vibrant red, evoking the way in which the rooster shows the world the shimmering facets of its personality. The radiance of the handcrafted enamel with its ethereal glow is enhanced by the natural beauty of 78 brilliant-cut diamonds set on the watch’s white gold case. Limited to just 38 pieces, this collector’s edition is a fitting homage to great skill of the métiers d’art with their ancestral techniques so passionately nurtured by Piaget.
Bespoke Artistry in Black and Gold: The 12 Signs of the Chinese Zodiac on the Piaget Polo Tourbillon Relatif
In keeping with this tradition of paying tribute to the culture of the Asian continent and to mark the 10th anniversary of the famous Tourbillon Relatif movement, Piaget has created a one-of-a-kind piece inspired by the Chinese zodiac. For this exclusive and unique masterpiece in white gold and black enamel, a master engraver and enameller have come together to stage the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac on the dial of a Piaget Polo timepiece combining champlevé Grand Feu enamelling with delicate hand engravings of each of the animals. From its dial to the back and the sides of the case, this model can be entirely personalized to the wishes of its owner thanks to the creative marriage of two exceptional Art & Excellence techniques.
The theme of the Chinese zodiac is carried through on the profile of the watch’s case decorated with the 12 Chinese characters associated with each of the signs of the zodiac engraved in champlevé with black enamelling. On the case-back, the Chinese symbol for longevity is engraved and then delicately enamelled. Inside this artistic ode to the legend of the Chinese zodiac beats the 608P Tourbillon Relatif movement, itself a technical tour-de-force and a revolutionary concept in high watchmaking with the ultra-thin carriage of the tourbillon making a double revolution: one on itself every minute, and one rotation around the dial every hour. The hours are indicated by the central disc, while the seconds are indicated by the carriage of the tourbillon suspended above the dial on the minute hand. In celebration of the movement’s 10th anniversary, the minute hand has been redesigned as a cut-out arrow so as to allow a better view of the decorations on the dial.
