foverstaSince its introduction in 2016, the new Polo collection has gradually found its place in the Piaget catalogue. Its success is growing, driven by the market trend towards steel watches with integrated bracelets. I must admit that I was not fully convinced by the first models. I found them too consensual, symbolizing a kind of global luxury defined to seduce a formatted clientele, whether based in Paris, New York or Beijing...Story

foverstaWhen Piaget introduced the Altiplano 900P 4 years ago, the brand achieved double benefits: not only it did reveal the thinnest handwind watch with a 3.65mm case height (note that at this level I avoid speaking of thickness!) but at the same time it defined a new aesthetic trend. All this was far from trivial. The comments focused much more on the technical capabilities leading to such a performance. However, it was also important to point out that Piaget was able to significantly rejuvenate the style of its .....Story

foverstaThe trend continues. Richemont brands take advantage from events more often organized outside the SIHH to reveal their key watches of the year. The example is striking with Piaget which, through a launch that took place in New York in the month of July, presented a range of watches with a great strategic importance for the Manufacture. Because at the end, it is exactly what it means: the vocation of the Polo S range is to give a dynamic impetus to Piaget by expanding and rejuvenating its customer base...Story

foverstaPiaget, as the specialist of the ultra-thin watches, presented at the SIHH 2015 the Altiplano Chronograph which distinguished by two records for a handwind chronograph: one for the thinnest caliber (4,65mm) and one for the thinnest case (8, 24mm). In this context, Piaget took the opportunity to unveil a new movement, the 883P deriving from the 880P. This watch has been until now only available in rose gold in its configuration without set gems but a new version in white gold has just been unveiled during the last SIHH. It gives me the opportunity to come back to this very paradoxical watch...Story

foverstaI waited for long months the opening of the new Piaget boutique located 7 rue de la Paix. Actually, every Saturday, while doing my usual walk in the rue de la Paix (which is becoming more and more Richemont street), I was seeing the big signs on the building dedicated to this boutique. It was a very well known address because Montblanc was the former brand using these premises and I knew their potentials, the surface, the lay-out: without any doubt, the future Piaget boutique would be beautiful. And now, the wait is over! The boutique opened its doors a few days ago at the end of the month of April! So I couldn't miss the opportunity to visit it without any delay! I was not disappointed...Story

WHLWhen thinking about men’s Piaget watches, my thoughts first go to the Altiplano collection, and I like just about every model in that group. My second thought is to the Polo collection, which are outstanding luxury sport watches worthy of consideration alongside Royal Oak, Overseas, and Nautilus models from the other high end manufactures. These are both well-defined collections from Piaget with a lot of history behind them. The Black Tie collection houses three distinct groups, each with a distinct shape: .....Story
