A question for Piaget fans
Would you like to see Piaget make more sport watches?
Currently, the brand's marquee player in the sport watch arena IMO is the Piaget Polo FortyFive, which comes in various iterations, including a chronograph. This is the only watch in the Piaget range available in titanium; a truly "sporty" metal to my mind (I just don't prefer sport watches in noble metals, regardless of the brand.).
I would love to hear your thoughts! Would you welcome something like a Piaget dive watch? Or does your mind recoil at the mere suggestion of such a travesty?
Piaget Polo FortyFive, ref. G0A34002.
Manufacture Piaget caliber 880P, the heartbeat of the watch pictured above.

Yes I would
But sports watch means sports watch and I find that the current Piaget watches are to dressy to be called sports watches. It is after all a question of personnal taste. Best regards, George
Thanks, George!
I think your comments are full of truth. As you say, it is all a question of personal taste. Could a Piaget take on a new sport watch even fit the bill of what certain people envision when you say the phrase "sport watch?" Good food for thought. Cheers, D...
Personally no.
Piaget is elegance for me.... it would be unnecessary "prostitution" :0) Just my 2HRK Damjan
:-) How much is 2HRK in my money? LOL!
Thanks for your thoughts, Damjan. Piaget is elegance and slimness. I never want them to lose that focus. So, maybe not a line of true sport watches (divers, for example), but would you like to see them offer more pieces in alternative metals like titanium...
I like your openness toward...
...diversification of the current Piaget collection. As I stated to MTF, I feel a new Piaget icon could be on the horizon. I'd just personally like to see a new watch offered in titanium and/or steel. Cheers, Daos
I don't deny Piaget the desire to diversify
but a Piaget diver does not appeal to me. Regards, Richard.
Agree, Richard.
A true diver, as opposed to a diving-inspired watch that's safe to wear while washing your hands or in a light rain, does not seem to fit the Piaget mantra of slender elegance. Cheers, Daos
Tough question; maybe not....
People blanched and gasped when Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe brought out 'precious steel' luxuy sports watches in the 1970s with the Royal Oak and Nautilus respectively. For AP, the sports watch became the new image of the brand and now taken over t...
I'm a little torn about the issue.
I would like to see Piaget offer a range of new styles in titanium and/or steel, but I would NOT like to see them stray from their core values of slimness and elegance. So a true diver? I think not. I feel that Piaget has all the tools to create a new ico...
My answer is no...
Because for me the priority would be to see the superb chronograph movement in a more classic case than the Polo. The Polo is in the "casual chic" range and I think it is a better context for Piaget rather than a pure diving watch. Fr.Xavier...
The 880P...
...is a great movement, and I completely agree that a classical chronograph with a bit of vintage flair would be very compelling. Great minds think alike! Cheers, Daos
Good question!
...but IMHO, no. They should stick to what they do best and not get astray becoming an everything to everyone! Unless of course they're able to produce ultra thin sport watches or an entirely new segment of watches not saturated by current ones
Good answer!
I like your reasoning here! I think most of the readers agree. Cheers, Daos
