A Journey Through Time: Reviving the 1960s-70s Cuff Watches
Piaget‘s Hidden Treasures Ladies Watch takes us on a nostalgic journey, reinterpreting the iconic cuff watches of the 1960s-70s—a defining era for the brand’s audacious and fashion-focused creativity. This timepiece seamlessly merges organic design with the free-form, hyper-naturalism that characterized the era. The bracelet, a work of gold craftsmanship, appears to organically grow over the case and ornamental dial, enveloping the signature oval dial in a captivating dance of artistry.
Each cuff is a canvas for Piaget’s expertise in the art of engraving and a dedication to Métiers d’Or. Hand-engraved with unique patterns and textures, the goldwork showcases the fusion of dexterity and artistic sensibility mastered by each artisan. Using a burin, the gold is meticulously incised, one line at a time, creating patterns that vary in depth, width, and direction. The result is a mesmerizing display of craftsmanship, where no two patterns of engraved gold are identical. The bracelet reproduces the famed lines of the Palace Decor, inset with a sapphire-framed case and dial of vibrant turquoise.
The Hidden Treasures Ladies Watch is a testament to Piaget’s commitment to artisanal craftsmanship. The watch’s golden bracelet, adorned with patterns reminiscent of the Palace Decor, stands as a unique canvas showcasing the intersection of art and horology. The meticulous engraving, executed with precision and care, elevates the timepiece to the realm of wearable art.
