Piaget

Piaget is a luxury watch and jewellery brand from Switzerland. Piaget was launched in 1874 and today is a member of Richemont (IWC, Panerai, Van Cleef, Montblanc). Piaget’s initial purpose was the production of watch movements but eventually it also started manufacturing watches. Piaget is famous for ultra-thin movements, complicated tourbillon movements, retrograde movemements and also has self-winding movements in its portfolio.

We constantly review Piaget watches such as the Piaget Altiplano, Piaget Polo, Piaget Dancer, Piaget Limelight, Piaget Skeleton, and Piaget Possession.
