Piaget is a prestigious Swiss maison renowned for its expertise in ultra-thin watchmaking, high jewelry, and the seamless integration of horology and decorative arts. Founded in 1874 by Georges-Édouard Piaget in the village of La Côte-aux-Fées, the brand began as a specialist in high-precision movements. By the mid-20th century, Piaget had transitioned into a fully-fledged watchmaker and jeweler, establishing itself as a symbol of elegance and innovation.
In 1957, Piaget introduced the Calibre 9P, a hand-wound movement just 2mm thick, followed by the 12P automatic movement in 1960 — then the thinnest in the world. These technical achievements laid the foundation for Piaget’s signature ultra-thin watches, which continue to define the brand. The Altiplano collection exemplifies this legacy with refined, minimalist designs and record-breaking calibres like the Altiplano Ultimate Concept, which held the title of the world’s thinnest mechanical watch at 2mm thick.
Piaget is also a master of métiers d’art — from guilloché engraving and enameling to gem-setting — making it one of the few houses equally respected in both watchmaking and jewelry. Its Possession, Limelight Gala, and Piaget Polo lines blend horological savoir-faire with jewelry craftsmanship, offering expressive, glamorous timepieces for both men and women.
As part of the Richemont Group, Piaget continues to push creative and technical boundaries, with a distinct aesthetic defined by elegance, luxury, and daring creativity. Whether crafting a skeletonized tourbillon or a diamond-studded cuff watch, Piaget’s work is always a celebration of form and finesse.
With its roots in precision and its heart in artistry, Piaget stands as a unique voice in Swiss watchmaking — where bold design meets mechanical mastery.
