Its unique performance in ultra-thin movements and innovative interpretations in complex watches have made the brand a leader in traditional corporate and artistic watches.
Ultra-thin movement Piaget can be called a pioneer in the field of ultra-thin movement creation. In 1957 and 1960, it launched the world-famous 9P manual winding movement and 12P automatic winding movement, respectively. The world's thinnest manual winding movement and automatic winding movement at the time. After this, the 430P, 450P and 438P self-made movements were launched, with a thickness of only 2.1 mm. It requires exquisite craftsmanship and technology to meet the strict requirements of ultra-thin movements. Piaget is good at perfectly combining superb technology with outstanding creativity; using slim movements to develop noble and elegant men's watches and jewelry watches set with precious stones. Piaget's perfect craftsmanship has made Piaget famous, and the Altiplano series, a gift from the brand, further creates a distinctive brand personality.

The radial sun-engraved checkered pattern runs through the case and tourbillon, and cuts out 60 lines, symbolizing 60 seconds of time, and has become an immortal classic. The hollow diamond-set tourbillon watch is a unique design in the world. The gold watch bridge inlaid with precious gems exudes unprecedented brilliance. The superb shape perfectly integrates watch and jewelry manufacturing technology. Each skeleton tourbillon movement holds several patents and is assembled by the same watchmaking technician.
Chronograph movement The Piaget Polo Chronograph chronograph watch is equipped with the new Piaget in-house 880P movement. It is the first chronograph mechanical movement designed, developed and produced by Piaget's advanced watch workshop. . In addition to the chronograph and flyback functions, the 880P movement has hours, minutes and small seconds at 6 o'clock, date display at 12 o'clock and dual time display functions. The traditional hour counter at 9 o'clock is replaced by a 24-hour dual time display function. Moreover, this movement has a double barrel device with an automatic winding design and a large-size screw fine-tuning balance wheel, which can provide a power reserve of 52 hours when the chronograph mode is activated.
The entire movement is only 5.6 mm thick. It is equipped with a column wheel device and a vertical coupling clutch. It is completed with brand-specific decorative details - blue steel screws, C?tes de Genève Geneva wave pattern, movement number, etc., which further highlights this A chronograph movement has a unique and extraordinary value.
Perpetual Calendar Movement Piaget’s own 855P perpetual calendar movement. The perpetual calendar uses a mechanical wheel system to correctly display the irregular Gregorian calendar on the watch dial until 2100 AD. The perpetual calendar is not only one of the most complex processes in watchmaking technology, but also the most complex of all watchmaking processes. A widely used mechanical mechanism. Piaget's self-made 855P self-winding perpetual calendar movement is 5.6 mm thick. It is equipped with hours, minutes, small seconds display at 4 o'clock, month and leap year display at 12 o'clock, and display at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock respectively. In addition to the unique retrograde structure of the day and date, the retrograde day and date display function at the o'clock position, the most different thing between the Piaget 855P movement and other perpetual calendar movements is that the double-hand two set at the 8 o'clock position Ground time display needle circle. The Piaget 855P self-winding perpetual calendar movement beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.
The moon phase movement Piaget 860P large moon phase display movement is different from the traditional moon phase display. It uses astronomical moon phases to accurately display the moon phase cycle, with an error of only one day every 122 years, far ahead of the market. The moon phase caliber has an error of one day every three years. Throughout its development, Piaget has been world-renowned for its fashion leadership and superior craftsmanship, and has become a model of bold innovation and unique ingenuity. Piaget designers let their imagination run free, and their infinite creativity runs through every theme. Only more than 20 models can be selected as theme watches and jewelry every year. Watchmakers first need to draw unique and exquisite patterns on watches and jewelry by hand; after their designs are approved, each department of the workshop will work hard to We continue to work together to complete these art treasures with outstanding craftsmanship and talent. To face these extraordinary challenges, whether from an appearance or technical perspective, Piaget has made every effort to implement new and perfect design concepts.
Master craftsmanship begins in the ancient workshop located in Cote-aux-Fees, Geneva. Piaget’s watchmakers and jewelers always share the same passion, creating more and more watches that surpass their predecessors. Bold work. More than 40 leaders in the handicraft industry have worked together to carry forward this watchmaking workshop's belief in pursuing excellence for more than 130 years. Quality inspection runs through the entire production process from beginning to end, from the stamping of the smallest parts to the last detail decoration of the case. Piaget gives free and broad space for creativity, making every watch full of inspiration, novel and unique.
As an enamel technique in the field of miniature painting, the enamel technique is gradually being lost. Today, craftsmen who are proficient in enamel techniques are very rare. The enamel master first grinds and cleans the coarse enamel into a fine powder. Then mix it with essence and sticky oil to make colorful powder. The pattern on the enamel is colored layer by layer with a brush, and each layer of enamel needs to be fired at a high temperature of 800 degrees. Only by practicing on the spot can you master the accurate heat. The more difficult the subject matter, the more pure and passionate the colors used by the enamel master. Finally, it needs to be fired several times. The famous Geneva technique makes the enamel transparent or melted, making the pattern rich in depth. Each enamel work requires nearly 20 firings, and watchmakers must rely on rich experience to judge the color effect after multiple firings. Enamel is fragile and brittle, and the production process is like walking on thin ice. A small mistake will ruin all previous efforts and start all over again.
Surface decorationSurface decoration is crucial in the watchmaking process. Excellent decorative craftsmanship can make the watch reach a flawless state. To measure the value of a watch, in addition to the function of the movement, its surface decoration is also one of the keys. Different movements require beveling, polishing, matte, blue light treatment, dot grinding, "C?te de Genève" Geneva wave decoration, engraving, hollowing and other processing processes to complete. To achieve perfect results, the case and bracelet must also undergo the same process.
Polishing and inlay techniques are used to the fullest, and even the tiniest flaws cannot escape the watchmakers’ meticulous observation. The installation of the bracelet is also another important point that Piaget pays attention to; in order for the bracelet to fit with different shapes of wrists, it must go through an extremely complex production process, and the installation of the bracelet requires exquisite skills. Simple steps such as the hour scale or the 18K buckle cannot be ignored; each part needs to be processed with the meticulous attitude and technology of the watchmakers to create the most perfect watch.
Golden carving technique The gold carving technique used by Piaget in the watch is not a simple image carving, but can be regarded as a three-dimensional sculpture that gives the watch vitality. The engraver carefully carved out the outline of the watch from a single piece of gold brick, and fine-tuned the optimal physical weight according to the size of the case. The next step is to carefully carve the appearance details of the watch, and the intricate and delicate details will appear until the complete appearance is formed. The entire production process is done by hand, and a variety of carving knives are used due to technical requirements, including blade molds, round-mouth carving knives, trimming carving knives, etc.
