This year has been a monumental one since I started curating more and more Piaget for my stock.. I had my eyes on Piaget for years but I didn’t reach the collector maturity to understand the beauty, the quality, the infinitely supreme craftsmanship and unsurpassable value that it represents for the past 150 years!
The relationship with the brand sprouted also on a corporate level and I am happy to say Piaget has been extremely warm and accommodating since we got to meet last May in Geneva (check my auction review on the blog from May 2023).
This past November while I was in town for the auctions, Piaget and their PR Team where extremely kind to invite a group of collectors and enthusiasts, myself included, to an intimate Swiss comfort lunch in old town Geneva followed by a visit to the historic Rue de Rhone boutique to look at highlights from their epic vintage collection.
The gracious Anne Sophie Mallard (the PR director) and the savvy Alain Bourgeaud (curator of the archival collection) were wonderful hosts for the rowdy and youthful group of enthusiasts allowing us to touch, feel and photograph some really epic watches I could only dream of seeing!
From Andy Warhol’s “Andy Warhol” Jumbo Piaget, to the Miles Davis mythical skeletonized Polo on the strap gifted at the Montreux Jazz festival in the 80s..passing through some crazy intricate jewelry watches and mesmerizing stone dials it has been an afternoon for the horological chronicles never to be forgotten in my memories.
LET THE PARTY BEGIN!
