Hi Daos,
I've seen photos of a few of Piaget's cuff watches in the past, such as 9468D59, but you mananged to post my all time favorite ladies cuff watch which is 908 D48 white gold with lapis and malachite. To me its just such a cool design. It looks late 1960s early 1970s in design, and I really like the look. It reminds me of the background designs, color schemes and gemetric shapes you might see behind groups like the Temptations, the Supremes, the Doors etc when they performed on TV Shows back then such as the Ed Sullivan show. If I could get my wife one cuff watch, it would be 908 D48.
The coral watch with gold chains hanging and coral beads at the end is pretty outrageous. I think its a fun watch and really distinctive. I can't imagine if a woman wore that to a party, that there would be anyone else wearing the same watch/jewelry.
I also like the Malachite & Onyx piece with the rectangular watch dial. Although, I'm not sure if I like it because it really reminds me of a square mens Piaget watch that I saw pictures of years ago that used Malachite (and maybe onyx) for the watch dial.
Best regards,
Dino

I do like the marriage between high horology and gem setting...though I 'd love to see Piaget pursue more modern renditions.... Will they/have they taken that route? Jason

You and I have similar tastes, Dino!

I also like the rectangular watch with malachite and lapis squares a lot. It's just a beautiful, eye-catching design! The piece feels so dynamic and alive, which I attribute to the colors of the stones and the design of alternating squares. I always love ...
What can I say great minds think alike : )

Your post was really a great display of how creative Piaget has been in integrating stones and gems into special concept pieces for many decades. As others have mentioned its a shame that most brands do not still incorporate mechanical movements into thei...
Needs must needs be.....

You see? Before the advent of quartz movements, even the gems-set pieces from Piaget had mechanical movements like the ultra=thin 9P and the small diameter 4P. It can be done and show that Piaget was a movement maker first and then watch maker and then je...
