www.worldwatchweb.com - The one millionth watch bearing the Piaget has just emerged from the workshops of the Manufacture.

Representing an perfect expression of the two fields of skill brilliantly mastered by Piaget: haute horlogerie in La Côte-aux-Fées and haute joaillerie in Geneva – the Piaget Emperador Full-Set Coussin Perpetual Calendar enshrines the entire Piaget heritage.

Only 20 of these watches will be produced in 2010.

This masterpiece of technical complexity designed and developed in-house is also naturally crafted and assembled in the brand Manufacture in La Côte-aux-Fées. Piaget’s historical cradle is entirely dedicated to complications and it is here that the watchmaking heart of the firm continues to beat. Movements are also decorated there in the traditional manner, and Calibre 856P is no exception: its mainplate and bridges are circular-grained and bevelled, their flanks are hand-drawn, and the decoration is enhanced with blued screws and circular Côtes de Genève. The movement is also cased up in La Côte-aux-Fées, while the case is gem-set at the Manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates.
