Piaget
A movement-maker from a Jura farm village that learned to treat gold like cloth: chased, brushed and engraved until it ripples like silk or bark. Its jewels turn, open and bloom, and its colour comes from the hard stones it first set into watch dials in the 1960s.
The conversation
Piaget answering
Possession after Trinity, Cartier
Trinity's bands roll over one another; Possession gives a ring a second band that spins freely round it.
- Macri
Extremely Piaget after Macri, Buccellati
Extremely Piaget takes up gold engraved until it reads as cloth, chasing its cuffs like silk or bark.
- Pain de Sucre
Piaget Solstice after Pain de Sucre, FRED
Solstice gives the big coloured stone a garnish that comes away, so one ring can be worn dressed or bare.
- Frivole
Piaget Rose after Frivole, Van Cleef & Arpels
Piaget Rose builds the gold flower up in layered petals, modelled on the rose named for Yves Piaget.
