Piaget

Piaget, founded in 1874 by Georges-Édouard Piaget in the Swiss village of La Côte-aux-Fées, began as a workshop specializing in crafting high-precision movements. Initially focused on producing movements for other watch brands, Piaget eventually began creating its own timepieces in the mid-20th century, marking its entry into the luxury watch market. Known for its mastery in ultra-thin movements, Piaget set new benchmarks in horological engineering, particularly with the introduction of the ultra-thin 9P manual-wind movement in 1957 and the 12P automatic movement in 1960, both of which held records for the thinnest in the world at the time.

Piaget is also celebrated for its integration of high jewelry techniques with watchmaking, creating intricate and lavish designs that emphasize luxury and artistry. In the 1960s, Piaget introduced colorful, avant-garde watches with dials made from precious stones such as lapis lazuli, jade, and turquoise. This bold approach set Piaget apart, blending artistic creativity with technical expertise. The Piaget Polo, introduced in 1979, became another icon for the brand, merging elegance with a sporty aesthetic and solidifying Piaget’s reputation for stylish, high-quality watches.

Today, Piaget continues to be a leader in both ultra-thin watch movements and high-jewelry timepieces. Known for collections like the Altiplano, Polo, and Possession, Piaget stands as a symbol of sophistication and innovation, appealing to those who value both precision and artistry in horology.
