From his first workshop in La Côte- aux-Fées, GeorgesEdouard Piaget devoted himself to crafting high-precision movements in a feat that formed the very foundations of our pioneering name. In the late 1950s, Piaget unveiled the ultra-thin movements that would later become the Maison’s trademark and the cornerstone of the Altiplano collection. As a true innovator of the watch and jewellery world, Piaget strongly believed in creativity and artistic values. It is within the walls of our “Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire” where master artisans continue to harness rare skills that have been preserved and perfected from generation to generation, transforming gold, stones and precious gems into dazzling works of art.
Harmoniously fit for a solstice celebration, the Piaget Solstice collection represents the perfect blend of two of the Maison’s founding principles: excellence and creativity. In the “Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire”, mastery meets pure beauty, audacity and craft become companions. Like the crowd of the Piaget Society, Solstice is sophisticated, chic and spectacular. Mastery applied to bursting creativity.
Inspired by Haute-Couture outfits, the fluid design of the Voluptuous Ribbon and Generous Laces sets replicate the delicate asymmetry of glamorous fabric ribbons. The articulated Precious Adornment necklace matches the movement and adaptability of a precious gown… Excellence is nothing without playfulness. The Extravagant Touch watch’s dazzling feathers become earrings, the Flamboyant Nightfall necklace’s center motif can be removed and clipped on a ring mounting !
Voluptuous Ribbon Ring
White Gold Ring, Set with 1 pear-shaped pink sapphire, (Madagascar - approx.3.56 cts), and brilliant-cut diamonds.
The Piaget Solstice collection, as everything that is Piaget, puts quality at the forefront. Combined with the Maison’s unique craftsmanship, Piaget’s jewellery expertise offers exceptional stones a delicate setting, displaying their beauty on precious and playful pieces.
From the blue and pink sapphires from Sri Lanka and Madagascar, to the Australian black opals and unique Zambian emeralds, all radiate boldness and brimming energy. In the “Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire”, our artisans shape and sculpt gold to give it the suppleness of a silky fabric. With their asymmetrical designs and delicate curves, the Voluptuous Ribbons and Generous Laces sets offer a splendid display of Piaget’s mastery. Cut into 55 facets, the marquise-cut epitomizes the radiance that shimmers throughout the collection.
Both jeweler and watchmaker, Piaget once again combines its two main savoir-faires in the Solstice collection’s exceptional watches. A pinnacle of watchmaking craft, the flying tourbillon movement of the Dazzling Swirl watch is adorned with a design that is another nod to the twirling of a sumptuous dress.
True to its tradition and eager to explore new territories, the Maison Piaget once again pushes the boundaries of craft and creativity. Get ready for a dizzying evening of freedom and extravagance !
