Eye of the tiger
Description
Piaget's reputation in watchmaking is second to none. Referred to as the “jeweller of watchmaking”, Piaget embodies creativity and reliability.
This timepiece is as unique in its octagonal gold case as it is pleasant and light to wear. With its gold folding clasp, the strap hugs the curves of the wrist to become one with the wearer. The tiger eye dial offers beautiful brown and gold tones, dancing with the light. A color echoing the gold of the hands. A watch, a jewel or both?
How to wear it?
This Piaget watch, which combines gold and "tiger's eye" hardstone, is elegant and precious. It would go better with a dressy outfit. Perfect for your evenings, it brings an immediate touch of originality and class on the wrist. One thing is certain: it will not stay unnoticed. It's up to you to break the codes by wearing it with jeans !
Why did Françoise choose it?
With its ultra thin movement and stone dial, this watch shows where Piaget excels. It illustrates that at Piaget no compromise is ever made: all cases are in precious metals while each stone dial shows a unique pattern. The thinness of 9p movement is not only mechanically impressive, it further enables the elegant dimensions of this reference. An easy choice for us given its style and importance
History
Between the end of the 1950s and the end of the 1970s, Piaget style reached its peak. A highly creative period where gold, the only material used for watches from 1957, and colors harmonized. The dial becomes the main element of creation, the one towards which all eyes must be directed. Thus, the hard stone imposes itself, letting vibrate its lively palette of colors, its shades, its reflections, its personality: lapis-lazuli, jade, tiger's eye, coral, turquoise, onyx, opal, etc. A palette of bright and nuanced colors. Watches with clean lines letting the color do the talking. Jewelery watches qualified as “haute-couture creations” ( Journal de Genève , April 15, 1970).
