17:28 “Always do better than necessary” - Georges-Édouard Piaget | |
 F. Müller takes readers deep into the extravagant world of Piaget, chronicling each decade of the House’s rich 140 year history, and highlighting keymilestones such as the birth of the Manufacture, the opening of the first Piaget Salon, Piaget’s long-standing relationship with the sport of polo, and the House’s aggressive global expansion. It is a visual feast, portraying Piaget’s unique style and sensibility with never-before-seen renderings of jewelry and watches, iconic ads from the 60s and 70s, the House’s privileged ties with world famous artists, including Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol,Arman, Hans Erni and Pierre et Gilles, and the creative jewelry and timepieces that the international jet-set, the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Jacqueline Kennedy, Marisa Berenson and Ursula Andress, once wore. Piaget has also defined itself as the leader in the field of fine-watchmaking and ultra-thin movements. The book documents the Maison’s manufacturing know-how and expertise, in particular its gold and gem setting techniques and its impressive collection of ultra-thin movements, including complications and world records. These mechanical marvels, along with the elegant and avant-garde watch and jewelry designs that have often taken the world by storm, are all integral to Piaget’s DNA and have established it as an icon of excellence. This ode to the famed House is a must-have for anyone who is sensible to beauty, style and elegance.
