Piaget is a Swiss luxury watch and jewelry manufacturer founded in 1874 by Georges Edouard Piaget in La Cote-aux-Fees, in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland. The company is a subsidiary of Compagnie Financiere Richemont SA.
Piaget has built its reputation on ultra-thin watchmaking and bold jewelry design. The brand holds numerous records for thin movements, including the 900P hand-wound movement (3.65mm) and the 1200P automatic movement (2.35mm). The Altiplano collection showcases this expertise, with some models measuring under 5mm in total case thickness. In 2020, the Altiplano Ultimate Concept achieved a total thickness of just 2mm. Other watch collections include the Polo (a luxury sports watch line), the Limelight (jewelry watches for women), and the Piaget Possession.
Piaget also operates as a jewelry house, producing fine and high jewelry collections. The brand is known for incorporating hard stone and ornamental stone dials into its watches, as well as creating jewelry pieces using gold craftsmanship techniques such as Palace decor (a textured gold finish). Key jewelry lines include Possession, Piaget Rose, Sunlight, and the annual high jewelry collection.
The company maintains two manufactures: one in La Cote-aux-Fees (movements) and one in Geneva (cases, dials, gem-setting, and jewelry). Piaget operates boutiques worldwide and sells through authorized retailers and its e-commerce platform. Watch and jewelry prices generally start at approximately $3,000 and extend into six and seven figures for high jewelry and grand complications.
