PIAGET
Founded in 1874 by Georges Piaget in La Cote-aux-Fees, Switzerland, the company opened their first showroom at 40, rue du Rhone, Geneva, in 1959. Piaget rapidly became the specialist of the world's thinnest watches and for the unique style of cases and bracelets in 18K gold or platinum, the only case materials Piaget allows to enter its workshops. The company is a pioneer in the realm of watches embellished with gemstones, using lapis lazuli, coral, mother-of-pearl, tiger's eye and onyx in an amazing symphony of dials which appeal to customers increasingly eager for colour and variety.
