Altiplano Skeleton High Jewellery Métiers d'Art

“A watch is first and foremost a piece of jewellery.” With these few words, Yves G. Piaget summed up the entire history and paradox of Maison Piaget, founded in 1874 in the Swiss village of La Côte-aux-Fées. Starting out as specialists in ultra-thin watchmaking, the Maison’s craftspeople explored new aesthetic freedom from the early 1960s, adorning their sophisticated timepieces, which beat to the rhythm of the iconic 9P movement, with dials crafted from ornamental stones in a range of vibrant colours. A true piece of artistry, the Altiplano High Jewellery watch is pairing its iconic skeleton movement, set with diamonds and sapphires, with a new facet made of Grand Feu cloisonné enamel. This limited edition of only eight pieces is co-signed by Maison Piaget’s Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire and by enamel artist Anita Porchet.
