Hello World

Piaget is internationally celebrated for its creativity and originality, expressed from the very beginning through the development of ultra-thin movements that enabled unconventional formats such as coin and ring watches. From the 1960s onward, the Maison explored hardstone dials and the bold combination of precious materials with colourful gemstones, transforming its timepieces into true works of jewellery. Renowned for its elaborate wristwatch and bangle designs, Piaget mastered the integration of fine watchmaking with high jewellery, creating extraordinary pieces.

This bracelet watch is a striking example of Piaget’s bold and innovative creations. Designed for a youthful, avant-garde clientele, such pieces stood out for their unconventional shapes, wide bracelet designs, and the refined use of precious stones. Here, a tiger’s-eye dial is complemented by spherical cabochon accents in the same stone, enhancing both harmony and character. Crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, the bracelet showcases exceptional hand-finished metalwork with an elegant chain-like motif. Preserved in excellent condition, this watch exemplifies Piaget’s distinctive blend of creativity and craftsmanship, reinforcing its reputation as “the jeweller of watchmaking.”

Piaget has gained international fame thanks to its creativity and originality, qualities that have always distinguished the brand. To foster this creativity, Piaget developed extremely thin movements from the very beginning, allowing the production of watches in unusual formats, such as coin watches or ring watches.

Starting in the 1960s, the brand began experimenting with hardstone dials, pushing beyond the traditional boundaries of watchmaking and giving free rein to extravagance and innovation, creating unique and extraordinary timepieces.

The combination of precious materials and colourful gemstones became one of the brand’s distinctive signatures, leading to the invention of special models such as: necklace watches, cuff watches, and jewellery sets with colourful and original dials

The watch in question is a stunning pendant watch crafted in luxurious 18-carat yellow gold, showcasing a vibrant lapis lazuli dial that exemplifies Piaget’s mastery in combining precious stones with elegant design. Likely dating from the 1970s, this timepiece stands out for its unique charm and sophisticated style, blending functionality and beauty in a seamless way. An especially remarkable feature is its adjustable clasp, which allows the wearer to modify the length of the chain, enhancing both versatility and comfort.

This pendant watch is not only a timekeeping instrument but also a genuine piece of wearable art, reflecting the bold creativity and refined craftsmanship that made Piaget iconic in the world of haute horlogerie.

Gilbert Albert was a visionary Swiss jeweller and watch designer whose work pushed the boundaries of traditional design. After leading the creative workshop at Patek Philippe in the late 1950s and early 1960s, he founded his own atelier, where he brought a unique, nature-inspired approach to both jewellery and watchmaking. His pieces often featured textures and shapes inspired by coral, lava, and natural minerals, earning him ten Diamonds International Awards and a lasting place in design history.

The present watch is a striking example of Albert’s creative style: an 18k yellow gold “nugget” bracelet-watch, made for Omega in the 1960s. Its bold, textured links are designed to look like raw gold formations, creating a sculptural bracelet that wraps the wrist in rich, golden tones. Hidden within this organic pattern is a concealed watch dial, covered by a hinged lid that keeps the look of the bracelet uninterrupted when closed.

The dial features a fine linen-like texture and clean baton hour markers, reflecting the refined simplicity found in many Omega dress watches of the period. The watch is powered by the Omega calibre 620, a reliable manual-wind movement known for its precision.

More jewel than timepiece, this creation represents a concept of quiet luxury—where time stays hidden until revealed, and beauty takes centre stage. The asymmetric design, natural texture, and hidden dial all come together in a bold and unique work of wearable art.

Still in excellent condition, with sharp textures and original shape, this watch is a rare and special example of Gilbert Albert’s collaboration with Omega. A true collector’s piece, it perfectly represents the meeting of fine watchmaking and avant-garde design—a standout from the artistic spirit of the 1960s.

Vintage Vacheron Constantin watches exude timeless elegance and represent the highest expression of watchmaking artistry. Their enduring designs reflect the brand’s storied heritage, making each piece a true collector’s treasure. Due to their extremely limited production, these timepieces are exceptionally rare, adding to their mystique and desirability. Renowned for their impeccable craftsmanship, vintage Vacheron Constantin watches showcase the mastery of traditional horology—both in terms of aesthetics and mechanical precision.

This particular example is an elegant Calatrava-style Vacheron Constantin from the 1950s, featuring a 34mm stainless steel case with slender, well-balanced proportions. The cream dial shows a beautiful warm patina and is adorned with applied Arabic numerals, dot hour markers, and elegant leaf hands. A blued central seconds hand adds a subtle touch of contrast, while the gold crown introduces a discreet but distinctive detail.

Powered by a manual-winding movement, this time-only piece embodies the quiet sophistication and timeless design of mid-century Vacheron.
