Beautiful miniature art
Thanks for another enlightening post about Piaget, MTF! I was just admiring an Altiplano at my local AD today. All these enamel watches are gorgeous as art pieces (I'm less interested in them as watches.), and I am especially enjoying the butterfly Protocole series. They must be particularly mesmerizing timepieces in person.
Cheers,

Yes the choice is
same as in part 1 The NY is my favorite ..... so what happened with your choice of Pekin :0) Sincerely Damian
I lost my false bravery.....
After a few more weeks of thought, I chickened out because it would take a daring and flamboyant chap to wear the Pekin. Imagine the Yang energy would be too much with dragon and Great Wall power for "little ole me" Regards, MTF This message has been edit...

Both Art and Watchmaking
dxboon, Although you see them as art pieces, the good news is that all of them contain Piaget own movements. Real watchmaking in pretty packages! Regards, MTF
By far and away, Miss Protocole . . .
. . . as she seems to be a pure expression of art; that she is also a watch seems almost superfluous. It is one of very few designs that transcends the limitations of realistic scaling that I find apparent in most of the genre. I think the reason for this...
Why did I expect that from Dr No?
Art, I just knew it would be you to see the subtle design thema in the Miss Protocole enamels. Which is why I worry about you, Knowing what you do for a living...... it must be a daily hell Regards, MTF This message has been edited by MTF on 2009-09-23 08...
Literally lol, MTF! Thankfully, I'm able to indulge in aesthetic pursuits . . .
. . . here - otherwise, I'd be tearing out what's left my hair! Cordially, Art
The Piaget Altiplano with the Champlevé flinqué enamelling is beautiful!
Thanks for the info MTF! Great stuff! -MW
The last red orchid is my favourite.
The enameller did a fantastic job. I like all of them, in particular the last orchid which is so real. It is like the real orchid being pinned on the dial. Regards Ling
