ALL-NEW LOOK FOR PIAGET’S FAMOUS LUXURY SPORTS WATCH
There are few finer expressions of horological art than that of ‘skeletonisation’. The intricate reduction of dials and movements to their bare minimum in order to reveal the true, beating heart of a watch in all its mechanical glory.
Creating a skeleton watch requires vision, confidence, time and the considerable skill and ex- perience of numerous specialists in order to combine exceptional aesthetics with dependable functionality – and it is a genre for which Piaget has been renowned for half a century.
The first Piaget skeleton watches were made during the 1970s and, as with many of the Maison’s creations, they immedia- tely attracted a high-profile following. One of the most noted early adopters was the jazz trumpet legend Miles Davis who always turned-up to appearances with a briefcase containing a selection of time- pieces, including Piaget watches, choosing his ‘watch of the night’ just before he took to the stage.
Now Piaget is delighted to announce its latest adventure in skeleton watch making: A fully skeletonised version of its celebrated Piaget Polo, the groundbreaking luxury sports watch created by Piaget in 1979.
In order to successfully develop the Piaget Polo Skeleton, Piaget’s designers and en- gineers had to consider the key aspects of the Piaget Polo that have made it instant- ly recognizable – notably its curved case surmounted by a round bezel, its cushion- shaped dial opening and its slim profile.
The new Piaget Polo Skeleton is available in two highly individual designs. The first with a movement in Piaget Blue PVD, the second in a slate grey finish. In each version, the famous Piaget Polo case has been reduced to a mere 6.5mm thick (almost 3mm slimmer) while the intricately skeletonised movement and even the hands themselves have been pared-down for the ultimate in transparency.
A clear sapphire crystal case back, meanwhile, allows the meticulously finished and highly detailed movement to be seen and appre- ciated from both sides of the watch.
