Brief discussion Piaget SA
Another Swiss watchmaking legendary giant Piaget was founded in 1874 by Georges Piaget. In 1964, Piaget presented their first watches with dials worked in precious stones: lapis-lazuli, turquoise, onyx, and tiger’s eye. The manufacturer developed mechanical movements and in 2002 brought out the first Piaget Manufacturing tourbillon movement, the Calibre 600P, the thinnest tourbillon in the world with 3.5 mm thickness. The watch has done some remarkable jobs in the field of Ultra-thin movement, tourbillon movement, tourbillon skeleton movement, retrograde movement & Self-winding movement. Piaget owns the largest jewelry workshop in Geneva. Every stone is cut, adjusted, and set by hand. The diamonds meet the highest standards of color and clarity. The diamonds are tested according to in-house guidelines based on their color, size, clarity, and carat. Piaget was ranked 3 along with other manufacturers including Vacheron Constantin and Jaeger-LeCoultre, who were given an average environmental rating as “Upper Midfield”, suggesting that the manufacturer has taken first actions addressing the impact of its manufacturing activities on the environment and climate change. The brand has won numerous awards including the “Watch of the year” for the Emperador model”. In 2005, Piaget created their Best Jeweller Prize. This prize is awarded to the most deserving student of the Certificat Fédéral de Capacité in watchmaking. Dorian Recordon was the first holder of the qualification to receive this prize. Their different models have won several watches of the year. In 2004, Piaget celebrated its 130th anniversary.
