Women's Piaget Watches

Piaget & Co. was founded in 1874 by Georges Eduard Piaget, a farmer-turned-watchmaker in the village of La Côte-aux-Fées, He began making watches as a way to earn extra money during the lean winters, and his expertise and fame grew exponentially and his son, Timothée took over the business in 1911.

The Piaget brand was registered in 1943, and in 1945 a new manufacturing plant was opened, enabling the company to specialize in the development of ultra-thin movements. Piaget gradually became known as a manufacturer of exquisite jeweled watches; the cuff watch, introduced in the 1960s was a groundbreaker at the time. The iconic Piaget Polo, which came out in 1979, also gave the company instant global recognition. It was the first watch to offer a bracelet completely integrated with the case.

Piaget offers a broad selection of traditional women’s watches. Of particular note is their extensive collection of jewelry watches, which includes the Limelight Gala collection featuring round dials elongated with swoops of diamond curves. The Limelight Twice watch has two different faces to tell the time in two different time zones and the Limelight Garden Party translates the colors of a garden into precious gems.
