Hello 👋 All, I visited the Piaget Boutique and was going to try the Polo watch, but instead was
mesmerized by the artisanal dials which were collaborations between THE Anita Porchet (enamel) and Dick Steenman (engraver) and an engraved dial by Dick.
The dials are very 3 dimensional but the cases are not too thick. So many details in the dials which are simply amazing ! I really appreciate the dexterity and patience needed for such intricate works and the amount of coordination needed between the two artisans !
The dials are too ornate for my taste, but others may feel differently.
What do you think about these watches ?
Below are photos I took of the watches and online brochures along with the stats for the rose watches.
Altiplano Rose Bouquet Métiersd’Art - Diameter: 36mm - Thickness: 7.6mm - 18K rose gold case - In-house ultra-thin hand-wound movement - 48 baguette-cut diamonds (approx. 1.63 cts) and 279 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 1.47 cts). Crown set with 1 brilliant-cut diamond (approx. 0.06 ct) - Dial with ornamental stones glyptic, gold engraving and enamel. Set with 28 brilliant-cut pink sapphires (approx. 0.14 ct), 8 brilliant-cut green tsavorites (approx. 0.02 ct) and 10 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 0.05 ct) - alligator strap with 18K rose gold ardillon buckle set with 23 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 0.04 ct) - 8 pieces
Suddenly, I find myself in the mood for pizza.
Actually, if they used the same skills to make a dial in the form of an elaborate cold cuts tray (which is what I took the flowered one for originally), I'll bet it would have a great market.
Thanks for sharing these photos. The craftsmanship is astounding!
Beautiful, and I appreciate the dedication, but I agree it’s a bit ornate for my taste as well.
The Art Of Time
Love it when multiple artistic expressions work in harmony together. My Muse/wife would love it!

I think our other wives will love these
Thanks for sharing with us Gordon.

.....but ...(What happend with the Polo ??)
These are extraordinarily detailed as pieces of art and very interesting to look at indeed.
They would suit the tastes of many ladies, I agree.
And so, moving on,
And so, moving on,
what ever happened with trying on the Polo? Did you see one, try on one, buy one??
These artisanal dials occupied the whole session 🤣
Need to try on the Polo and Black Tie next time.
What are your thoughts on the Black Tie ?
