The latest watch in Piaget's Polo Tourbillon Relatif series will delight fans of the city of Paris. The new watch, which will be shown at the upcoming SIHH 2008 watch and jewelry show has a mechanical hand-wound one minute flying tourbillon and uses the Manufacture Piaget caliber 608P movement. The dial features names of famous Parisians. The coolness factor here though is on the sides of the watch. The sides of the watch are decorated with amazingly intricate etchings of the city. The design shows monuments such as the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and others. No details on price or production are available yet.

The new watches from Piaget take the concept of an envelope that might conceal a love letter as their primary design concept. The Piaget Love Letter Limelight watches are compact envelopes that open to reveal a black or mother-of-pearl dial set with diamond markers. The envelopes come wraped in stingray leather or paved with diamonds that are set with either a ruby or a yellow diamond at the opening. There is also a jewelry line for valentines day that features freeform hearts in rubies or diamonds.

Piaget Magic Hour Watch and Ring

Posted Nov 3rd 2007 11:02AM by Deidre Woollard

Nope that's not three watches you see above, it's three in one. The Piaget Limelight Magic Hour watch uses a mechanism developed in the Piaget workshops to create three different looks. It can be worn horizontally, at a rakish angle or straight up where it reveals diamond-set golden numerals. The model has an integrated case and bracelet, no lugs, and 36 diamonds around the bezel. It is also available on a black satin strap with a white gold case (the other is pink gold on a white satin strap). The watch has a Piaget 56P quartz movement and a retail price of 16,800 euros.

There is also a Limelight Magic Hour ring that pivots in the same three directions. This one is a white opal mounted in 18K white gold and surrounded by diamonds.

Is this a gorgeous summer watch or what? Piaget has launched a new summer line of watches in their Miss Protocole collection. The four watches feature grand feu enameling and images of the sea including starfish, coral and seashells highlighted by diamonds. The watches are done in 18 carat yellow and white gold and use the Piaget Calibre 57 quartz movement 57P. The watches all come on a satin strap that can be easily changed. Sure, the time is a little hard to read on this one but know one would buy this just to tell time.

Piaget Doubles Your Fun

This isn't the first watch with two mechanical movements that I have seen but it is one of the least gimmicky, just two simply beautiful watches, one on top of another. Piaget has released a new version of their classic Altiplano, that has two separate watches with two mechanical movements to tell two different timezones. It uses two Piaget caliber 450P movements with 18 jewels, beating at 21,600 bph. At 38mm, the 18K white gold case is smaller than a lot of the wrist dominators I have seen lately. It sells for $27,000.
