Catalogue Essay
--Piaget is cherished for their bold design aesthetic with their ladies’ bracelet and cuff watches from the early 1970s, which became status symbols for the jet set, worn by superstars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, and Andy Warhol. Piaget’s 1970s creation appealed to the “jet set”, who found them to be the chic jewellery alternative to ordinary watches.
--The present dual time bracelet watch is a wonderful representation of this audacious era. The elliptical yellow gold case houses two individual Piaget caliber 6P1 movements, with the dual time zones featuring gilt and black subsidiary dials respectively. The watch is further enhanced with the bark finish linked bracelet.
Piaget
Swiss | 1874Creativity, audacity and know-how are the values that gave Piaget its international reputation and allowed the brand to distinguish itself in the world of fine watchmaking and precision. Founder Georges Edouard Piaget established the company in 1874 and manufactured watch movements. While Piaget is famously recognized today for their elaborate wristwatch and bangle designs, they also mastered the marriage of their high-quality, in-house-produced wristwatches and stunning pieces of jewelry.
Collectors consider the 1970s as Piaget's era of superb creativity and unbounded designs. During this highly creative period, the brand designed an impressive range of cuff and bracelet watches carved in gold and adorned with exotic hard stones. Admired by most as not only jewelry but also true works of art, the firm's hard stone dial watches remain the most iconic, recognizable and desirable among collectors.
