Founded in 1874 by Georges-Édouard Piaget in the Swiss Jura village of La Côte-aux-Fées, Piaget began as a high-precision movement manufacturer for other famous watch brands. It wasn't until the 1940s that the founder's grandsons began marketing watches and jewelry under the family name, establishing a legacy of dual expertise. The Maison's identity is defined by a mastery of the ultra-thin, exemplified by the revolutionary 9P hand-wound movement in 1957, which allowed for new creativity in watch design. This technical prowess is matched by an artistic flair for audacious high jewelry, characterized by vibrant color, the use of hard stone dials, and intricate goldwork like the signature 'Palace' décor.
