Id really like to think there is at least one person out there who decides to own this mens diamond bezel Piaget Polo Skeleton Automatic watch (which I was able to check out via authorized dealer Mr. Porter) as their daily wear. This is a very funny watch because it is both highly exotic and, at the same time, oddly effective at being a daily [...]

Swiss watchmaker Piaget has made it clear that over the next few years, it will place some extra attention on its complicated movement manufacture located in the small town of La Cote-Aux-Fees, Switzerland. The primary Piaget headquarters is in Geneva, but up high in the mountains is where Piaget manufactures its most elaborate mechanism [...]

In the competitive, ultra-hyped space of Genta-influenced luxury steel sports watches, the Piaget Polo line has been a perennial dark horse. Without the pop culture visibility and endless waiting lists of some of its competitors, the Polo has built its own loyal following among enthusiasts over the years thanks to the series lithe styling and solid sporting credentials. Piagets [...]

Piaget makes some of the most beautiful exclusive luxury watches out there. The Swiss company combines its more than 100 years of experience producing mechanical watch movements with the contemporary values of the company that include an ultra-thin wearing experience and high-jewelry expertise. Today, I look at two members of the Piaget Altiplano Tourbi [...]

High up in the Swiss mountains above the city of Neuchatel is the small town of La C?te-aux-Fees. It has a population of less than 500, and it also happens to be the home of Piagets fine watchmaking. Down the mountains and along the lake is the city of Geneva, where Piagets main watch case manufacturing and assembly headquarters is located. This is a precise analog to th [...]

The race to create the worlds thinnest mechanical watch has been dominated by a handful of players in recent years, with few being as prominent as Piaget. The Piaget Altiplano series has been on the cutting edge of ultra-thin watch design for years, and for 2020, the brand has taken the next step forward to create the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept - the new wor [...]

Nearly five years ago, I originally went hands-on with the reference GOA40042 Piaget Emperador Cushion Tourbillon Skeleton watch here. Now, in 2020, I revisit the same model Piaget tourbillon to see how it has held up - especially with regard to style, technicality, and overall impressiveness. Piaget has been relatively quiet over the last few year [...]

I cant help but suspect that a great many disposable fashion brands of this era have, at some point or other, specifically referenced the Piaget Altiplano in hopes of replicating its whisper-thin silhouette, clinical modern minimalism, and all-knowing warmth that comes only from the confidence of one whos informed entire manuals on mid-century European style. The [...]

Piaget used to pride-and finance-itself on its long-term achievements in crafting remarkably thin watches. All was well as long as they could rule in this game, sometimes by greater and sometimes rather minuscule margins. In recent years, however, we have witnessed Piaget lose focus not just of the luxury watch market in genera [...]

Piaget Possession, with malachite dial and diamond bezel.Possession and Extremely Lady sound like fragrance collections, but they are actually two great new watch lines introduced by Piaget?at SIHH in Geneva. Together, they are right on target for todays ladies market, representing a few emerging trends in ladies watches. The most important o [...]

A week has passed already and SIHH is still but a blur And if I was to pick the blurriest part of all, it would be the windows of the booths-but only after the countless straight faces that fly past me in that utterly beige interior of the fair. When rushing from one 30 to 60 minute one-to-one appointment to the ne [...]

Now heres an arms race we can get behind. Fresh off the heels of reclaiming the throne as manufacturer of the worlds thinnest automatic watch just a few short weeks ago, Piaget is stamping its authority on all things ultra and thin, with the introduction of the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept, which measures a gobsmacking two millimeters thick. And just so [...]

The main idea behind an ultra-thin watch is quite simple. Simply miniaturize components as much as possible and try to stack them in the smallest space possible. Executing this, on the other hand, is far more complex, requiring watchmakers to adopt novel solutions as they try to make watches as thin as possible. Piaget is known for ultra-thin watches and made headline [...]

Piaget combines its expertise in ultra-thin movements with its fearless use of color to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Altiplano model. The seven pieces in the new Piaget Altiplano 60th Anniversary series, introduced at the SIHH in January, range in size from 34mm to 43mm. One of the great things about the new models is that they are not necessarily gender- [...]

I was surprised when Piaget announced the new Polo S and Polo S Chronograph watches in July last year.?Piaget already has a sports watch in the Polo FortyFive, but a new luxury sports watch in steel wasnt something I was expecting from them. But with the benefit of hindsight, a luxury sports watch in steel is something that Piaget absolutely [...]

At SIHH 2017, Swiss Piaget released two new versions of a timepiece originally re-leased back in 2015. Back then it was called the Piaget Black Tie Vintage Inspiration watch and was produced as a limited edition. For 2017, the Piaget Vintage Inspiration watch is in two new versions, again as limited editions, with a modest price decrease, and a very sexy [...]

Last summer, in 2016, we saw the release of the Piaget Polo S and Polo S Chronograph watches. Designed and marketed as an everyday steel watch intended to attract the growing market segment of younger watch aficionados who appreciate in-house movements, unique and versatile design, and look for serious horological cred (#womw is likely a regular part of their social media vocabulary, as well). While there is n [...]

With a rich history and a reputation for manufacturing svelte, elegant watches, Piaget stands out as a brand with true style. From ultra-thin skeletonized timepieces to their legendary 9P movement, they continue to maintain?a dedicated following while mastering the art of highly engineered movements and slender case design. Piaget will be dedicating 2017 to the?Piaget Altipl [...]

In reference to the 1979 Piaget Polo, Piaget has just launched their new Polo S line with five new watches at an event in New York. The Piaget Polos S collection includes a trio of three-handers and a couple chronographs. These steel sport watches are Piagets play at a young, casual audience looking for an easy wearing and versatile watch for eve [...]

Outside of the decently well-selling Altiplano collection, it does not always appear that Piaget has a specific strategy when it comes to their mens watches. In fact, if there was one really nice high-end brand that produced their own movements inside of the Richemont Group that might benefit from a bit of an ima [...]
