Mechanical Movements

This legendary mechanical movement became the inspiration for numerous others designed and created entirely within the Manufacture in its little village, La-Côte-aux-Fées. Almost a century and a half ago this is where the story began for one of the most emblematic brands in luxury watchmaking: Piaget. Ever since, inspired by the twin imperatives of esthetics and technical prowess, Piaget has been indefatigable in devising record-breaking ultra-thin mechanical movements. Genuine masterpieces of refinement, these movements stand out as epic achievements in the realm of the luxury watch. In fact, the extreme resistance and ultra-thin profile of the 430P hand wind mechanical movement (brought out in 1998) make it – to this day – one of the most iconic movement in that specific field.

The exceptional timepieces created by Piaget are imbued with audacity and sleight of hand. Artisans enrich the mechanical movements with complications, etherealize the bridges and plate with exquisite openwork, prolong the power reserve, and gem-set the working parts so that they sparkle like innumerable stars in the firmament of the luxury watch. The Manufacture never ceases to put its stamp on the realm of Haute Horlogerie with the magic of its mechanical watches. There is no end in sight to its ambitions, as it lives up to its motto ‘Always do better than necessary’.
