Introducing the Altiplano Moonphase by Piaget

The four Métiers d’art Altiplano Moonphase watches are a work of pure beauty and precision, a luxury of intricate details and technicality made to fit on a 36mm-wide watch. Their dials were brought to life after two years of development. On a translucent blue enamel sky created by master enameller Anita Porchet, Chinese constellations are represented by small white dots and precious stones. Because Piaget loves to play with surprising designs and original features, each Guardian, representing a cardinal point and associated with one of the four seasons and elements, gently appears at night fall. The Azure Dragon stands for the East and is associated with spring and wood; the red bird, representing the South, is close to summer and fire. The white tiger, looking west, is naturally a friend of autumn and metal, while the black turtle (for the North) is at ease in winter and water.

 

C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Bracelet

Sober and contemporary, propitious to variations and adaptations, C by Romain Gauthier was an obvious choice for the creation of a metal bracelet. The desire of modernity, comfort and ergonomics, already initiated during the conception of the first edition, reinforced the development of this integral timepiece on a titanium bracelet - light, resistant, modern and sophisticated. In keeping with Romain's vision - The Evolution of Tradition - this new technical and contemporary element requires a high level of craftsmanship and hand-finishing. Each link is composed of hand-polished and satin-finished surfaces that play with the light and reflect the technical nature of the bracelet and the timepiece in general.
