Thanks MTF for the very...
insightful and informative article. I enjoyed reading it very much.
The Reformation ideals (precision, perfection, hardwork, quality, understatement, etc.) were what that started and excelled the Swiss watchmaking.
Very sadly today, many watch companies are going in the opposite direction!

Hello MTF Thank you very much. The movement I have not really seen it myself. Will ask my AD to take photos of the movement when I send it for sevicing next month. Anyway my AD said the movement has very intricate carvings when he sold it to me..

A rich history indeed...
Seems like many Piaget family members and employees were deeply religious. Thanks for the interesting and extensive write-up, MTF.

You did a fantastic job !

You can only do with what you are given
And Piaget has a lot of unknown stuff because of their previous reluctance to say much...... Regards, MTF
