Piaget

One of the finest expressions of horological art: skeletonization. Intricately reducing dials and movements to their bare minimum, the process reveals the true beating heart of a watch. With incredible precision and meticulous design, Piaget has mastered the art of the skeleton movement. Technical excellence becomes a show of watchmaking expertise in this Piaget Polo – a skeleton watch that allows the world to see the movement at work. #Piaget #Piaget150 #PiagetPolo

As a nod to the Maison’s expertise in gemsetting and fearlessness with colour, the Possession rings display a dazzling rainbow of sapphires, rubies and tsavorites. The gradation of gemstones, carefully set, spin alongside a band of white diamonds in vibrant elegance. The Maison initially dedicated itself to the green and white palette of the Swiss Jura mountains, refining magnificent creations in these tones. Now, Piaget translates extravagant colour into intense elegance. This is the hallmark we call Extraleganza.

An array of coloured sapphires gleam in a spectacular rainbow setting. Offset with green tsavorites, the vibrant spectrum of precious gems decorates the bezel and watch lugs. Sourcing progressively-sized, coloured gemstones of this calibre is extremely challenging. Piaget gemmologists searched long and hard for the exact colour, carat, cut, and clarity of the gems – which is why this is a numbered-edition series, each creation uniquely radiant. The intricate setting demands patience and expertise; the Maison’s gem-setters use a technique called “Sertie Descendu” to create the perfect transition in size and colour from one gemstone to the next, illuminating the brilliance of each stone.

The Piaget Polo Date High Jewellery 36mm Watch. A true fusion of Piaget signatures, in a numbered-edition timepiece. The iridescent mother-of-pearl dial is engraved using the iconic Décor Palace technique, while the bezel is set with a rainbow of sparkling gems: 17 sapphires, 5 rubies, 6 citrines, 6 tsavorite garnets, and 6 spessartite garnets. Almost 3 carats of precious trapezoid-cut stones, patiently collected by Piaget gemologists and assembled over the course of 7 hours by the Maison’s experts. An encounter of elegance and extravagance, the refined timepiece is flawlessly calibrated for everyday use. A sapphire crystal case back showcases the 500P1 automatic movement, proudly bearing the Maison’s coat of arms on the oscillating weight.

Gold is a source of creativity. In all possible forms, all possible shades - white gold, rose gold, yellow gold - it is sculpted, openworked, hollowed out, hammered or bead blasted, polished or satin or brushed - Piaget has created over 100 different gold decors. For more than a century, Piaget has practiced its own type of alchemy, transforming gold through the art of fine watchmaking and jewellery. In the 1960s, Piaget acquires several workshops specializing in gold. And ultimately including a gold foundry in Geneva. From here on, at Piaget, time is only measured in gold. Piaget is a true House of Gold. @Matter.of.fact #Piaget #Piaget150 #PiagetSaga #HouseOfGold

Ella Richards, heir of rock royalty, leads the party with effortless elegance as the face and friend of the Maison. The Piaget universe is filled with light and motion, music and dance, as members embrace the artistic daring of their legacy. Cinematographer : Ross Richardson

Creating a skeleton watch requires vision, confidence, and the considerable expertise of numerous specialists. In one of the finest expressions of horological art, the Piaget Polo has undergone a “skeletonization” in which its dials and movements have been transfigured to an ultra-thin bare minimum. The Piaget Polo Skeleton is nothing short of a work of art: a 42mm steel-cased watch, measuring just 6.5mm thick and powered by a self-winding manufacture movement that has been entirely designed and produced in-house.

Ella Richards is back with the Maison, and this time, she has brought her inner circle with her to celebrate the Maison’s 150th anniversary and the Piaget Polo collection. Brother Orson Richards, photographer Sascha von Bismarck, and artist and model Kesewa Aboah are are now joining the party to celebrate Piaget’s legacy of joy. The birth of the Piaget Society in the 1960’s heralded a new aristocracy, as the Maison debuted its avant-garde 21st Century Collection to a crowd of new visionaries. In the place of a new kinetic royalty formed of jet-setting artists, actors, and tastemakers. The society opened its doors to those who were time movers, and style shakers – Elizabeth Taylor, Andy Warhol, Ursula Andress, Brooke Shields, Salvador Dali, Roger Moore. A new cool crowd whose status was earned not through crowns or palaces, but through talent, wit, and beauty. Concept and photography: @brigitteniedermairstudio
