Tradition

This funky example is really a unique piece showcasing the style of the 80's. Founded in 1874 by Georges-Édouard Piaget in the Swiss Jura, Piaget initially focused on creating exceptional mechanical movements, quietly establishing a reputation for precision. It wasn't until 1943 that Piaget registered its trademark, marking a new era by showcasing its name on luxurious, ultra-thin watches. The brand gained iconic status in the 1960s and '70s, synonymous with opulence and favored by celebrities like Andy Warhol and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Piaget epitomizes daring creativity – a quality that has continued to permeate through the Maison since its beginnings in 1874. From his first workshop in La Côte-aux- Fées, Georges-Edouard Piaget devoted himself to crafting high-precision movements in a feat that formed the very foundations of our pioneering name.In the late 1950s, Piaget unveiled the ultra-thin movements that would later become the Maison’s trademark and the cornerstone of the Altiplano collection.

As a true innovator of the watch and jewellery world, Piaget strongly believed in creativity and artistic values. It is within the walls of our « Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire » where master artisans continue to harness rare skills that have been preserved and perfected from generation to generation, transforming gold, stones and precious gems into dazzling works of art.

Through its pursuit of masterful craftsmanship, the Maison has created emblems of daring excellence channeled into its collections including Altiplano, Piaget Polo, Limelight Gala, Possession, Piaget Sunlight, Piaget Rose and Extremely Piaget.
