Piaget

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?

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.

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.

Piaget is elegance for me....
it would be unnecessary "prostitution" :0)

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, steel, tantalum, palladium?

and answer is again no

I guess it depends how Piaget executes it....

...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.

but a Piaget diver does not appeal to me.

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.

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 the bulk of the sales.

For PP, the sports watch is still a secondary product line for "off" days.

 

For Piaget, the original Piaget Polo already proposed a sports watch for the jet-set 30 years ago. The updated Polo FortyFive provided a larger case (45mm) but curved and with 'precious titanium'  

I think Piaget does not need to go down the route like AP and keep sports watches as an alternative line like Patek Philippe's Nautilus; WITH the added feature of Piaget always having elegant ultra-thin image.

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 icon -- just please make it one that you'll want to wear on your days off with jeans and a t-shirt (I'd prefer not to wear a gold watch while running around town on Saturday buying dog treats for Reign.).

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.

...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!

No message body

...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

I like your reasoning here!  I think most of the readers agree.
