PLAY OF SHAPES
Our creations
Play of shapes: a free vision of form
Since its beginnings, Piaget has embraced an artistic approach to time and fine Swiss watches. The Maisons’s creations fully embody this philosophy, where every curve, angle, and surface become a canvas for expression. More than a design: an attitude. A bright, free spirit driven by innovation, boldness, and unmatched mastery of materials in its watches and jewellery collections.
Gold, shape, movement
Gold watches and jewellery pay tribute to the unique dialogue between form and material. Here, gold bends to creative impulses. Carefully crafted and hand-polished, it comes alive. It twists, soars, unfolds. It captures light, embraces the wrist, and enhances the skin.
Piaget watches and fine jewellery merge into one refined, free-spirited vision of style.
A defining decade: the 1960s
It was in the 1960s that Piaget truly made its mark. Motivated by the desire to “always do better than necessary,” the Maison unveiled extraordinary creations, establishing its reputation for innovative design and artistic watches. In 1969, the legendary 21st Century collection opened a new chapter: colorful, sculptural, avant-garde pieces blurring the lines between watches and fine jewellery. Openwork gold cuffs, sculptural long necklaces, dials set with precious stones - colour and form took center stage.
The watch became jewellery; the jewellery elevated time itself.
The boldness of shapes
Triangles, ovals, rectangles with unexpected proportions, vertical or diagonal lines... Piaget dares. Among these forms, the trapeze shape stands out as an emblem. It breaks conventions, sketches a style, asserts a vision. The trapeze-shaped watch becomes a sculpture.
In the 1970s, the Maison pushed boundaries further with octagonal and hexagonal shapes. Every creation plays with balance. Every line tells a story of freedom.
Icons and milestones
Icons and milestones
1972 marked the arrival of a distinctive piece: the 15102 cushion-shaped watch. This iconic timepiece captivated Andy Warhol and became an icon, and soon bore his name.
In 1973, another creation emerged - a precursor to the future Limelight Gala gold watch. Its lugs gracefully extend beyond the dial in a fluid movement that unites case and bracelet.
These creations stand at the forefront of high jewellery, celebrating both technical mastery and aesthetic daring.
A Swiss tradition reinvented
Through Play of Shapes, Piaget reaffirms its pioneering spirit. Its trapeze-shaped watches and cushion-shaped watches defy convention. Its gold jewellery moves beyond simplicity to reveal richness. Form becomes message. Gesture, signature.
The Maison continues to rewrite the rules of fine jewellery, loyal to its dual commitment: honoring Swiss watchmaking heritage and absolute creative freedom.
