Since the establishment of the watchmaking studio in La Côte-aux-Fées by Piaget founder Georges Edouard Piaget in 1874, Piaget has been forging ahead with the development of the most complex mechanism in the field of mechanical watches-ultra-thin movements-for the sustainable development of the brand Proposition. In 1957, Piaget introduced the 9P movement with a thickness of only 2 mm, which won the name of the thinnest hand-wound movement at that time, and it also became a shocking change for Swiss watch stones at that time. Because of the know-how of making thin mechanical movements, it also means that the styling of the watch will get rid of the limit of the size of the large movement, and the creativity of the watch is unlimited. Immediately after the introduction of the thinnest 12P automatic mechanical movement in the history of the 1960s, Piaget opened a brand new historical page for himself, set up a jewellery workshop in Geneva, and devoted himself to the design and production of creative jewelry watches. The jewellery watch equipped with a high-quality slim movement also introduced a refreshing watch wearing a conventional gold watch, ring watch, brooch watch and cufflink watch. The respective endowments of watches and jewellery have become the two persistences of the company’s dual track. On the one hand, the classic Piaget Polo watch, the first prototype of the Empoador men’s watch, combining excellent sports style and high-quality movement, was first introduced, and Piaget’s professional watchmaking skills and day-to-day advancement; on the other hand, in the 1970s, the world’s most The introduction of the slim and mini 7P quartz movement, showing the bold creativity and unique expression on the jewelry watch, has become the eternal style of Piaget jewelry watch. With the advent of the millennium, in order to allow the Piaget’s two creative talents to achieve the best display and division of labor, the Plan-les-Ouates factory in Geneva was completed and opened in 2001. Since then, La Côte-aux-Fées top The watchmaking workshop specializes in the development and production of complex movements, while the Plan-les-Ouates workshop is responsible for the setting and assembly of jewellery, both of which are like Piaget’s left and right hands, opening a brilliant new chapter for Piaget. This one is the pinnacle of complex mechanical structures, all designed and developed by the Piaget La Côte-aux-Fées fine watchmaking workshop, and even the manual assembly of various details, without the help of others. La Côte-aux-Fées Fine Watchmaking Workshop is the cradle of the history of Piaget. From the very beginning, it devoted all its energy to the development and production of complex mechanical functions. To this day, it continues to advance Piaget’s fine watchmaking. Powerful heart advancing. Every movement from Piaget is carefully decorated and polished in the traditional way, and the 856P movement is no exception: the board and the bridge are round polished and chamfered, and the side edges are polished by hand. And blue steel screws and Geneva wave decoration make the decoration a higher level. The gem setting procedure of the case was completed at Piaget’s Plan-les-Ouates factory. The case arrived at La Côte-aux-Fées fine watchmaking workshop, and the movement also completed the final case assembly in the workshop. Located in Geneva’s new Piaget Plan-les-Ouates factory, a full line of factory equipment and personnel dedicated to the design, production of precious metal and jewellery cases and straps, of course, has become the final endowment to Piaget’s 1 million watches. Modification of the workstation, which also means more than 300 hours of tedious procedures and man-hours. Its highly identifiable pillow-shaped case, set with round and baguette-cut diamonds, weighs up to 9.9 carats, and its sophisticated aesthetics make this project even more daunting. Look at the exquisite jewellery inlay on the watch frame: it is made of 60 rectangular cut diamonds-each one indicates every minute-with the delicate layout and workmanship of the jewellery inlay artist, giving the watch a life and color and rhythm. The creation of the dial is also a pioneering work, with no less than 263 diamonds, 12-hour time stamps and 5 sub-dials in the square inch space. Piaget’s 1 millionth watch can be completed in more than 60 hours with the jewellery setting process alone. However, Piaget has pushed the aesthetics of the art to the limit and set 25 automatic diamonds on the automatic dial of the movement. The watch is endowed with luxurious touch like jewellery from the inside out, and can be clearly appreciated by the transparent back cover of the case back.
