Fly me to the Moonphase
For well over a century, Piaget’s savoir faire has been revolving around the Maison’s ability to put technicality at the service beauty, using the first to provide the second with as much creative space as possible.
Starting in the 1960’s, ultra-thin movements allowed a significative gain in creativity and elegance, thanks, in part, to hard stone dials. In 1998, the creation of the Altiplano watch was the ultimate step towards the spectacular union of craft and elegance.
For decades, the Maison has worked with artists and maîtres d’art, allowing them to bring their vision and unique skills to one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry and watchmaking.
This year, once again blending together artistic beauty and crafts-making perfection, two of the ultimate challenges in watchmaking, Piaget is opening a brand-new chapter. The moon phase complication enters the Altiplano collection, introducing the Altiplano Moonphase.
