Elegance meets ultra-thin Swiss watchmaking since 1874

Founded in 1874 in La Côte-aux-Fées, in the heart of Switzerland, Piaget is one of the most renowned maisons in luxury haute horlogerie and jewelry. Known for technical mastery and refined design, Piaget stands out for creating ultra-thin movements—miniature engineering marvels—and boldly innovative use of precious materials.

The king of ultra-thin watches

In the ’50s and ’60s, Piaget revolutionized watchmaking with calibers like:

• Caliber 9P (1957): manual ultra-thin movement only 2 mm thick
• Caliber 12P (1960): first ultra-thin automatic with micro-rotor
• Caliber 1200P: modern successor in the ultra-thin line

These breakthroughs made Piaget an icon of technical elegance, symbolizing understated luxury.

Between watchmaking and jewelry

Piaget is also famous for jewel watches crafted from solid gold, precious stones, lapis lazuli, malachite, and onyx—a perfect harmony of art and technique.

Iconic models:

• Altiplano: ultimate expression of extra-thin, minimalist watchmaking
• Piaget Polo (1979): sporty-elegant, all-gold icon of the ’80s
• Vintage watches with hardstone dials
• Dancer, Protocole, Gouverneur: sophisticated lines from the ’80s–’90s
