4 June 2010, Piaget showcased a few rare high jewellery and limited edition tourbillon pieces which are available for the first time in Singapore. Below is the photo-essay of the marvellous tourbillons. Starting with the unique Polo Tourbillon Relatif New...

Being in the same room with all those terrific tourbillons just turned my head! It was momentous because it was highly unusual to have all those pieces in one room anywhere in the world. MTF

Stunning pieces, Kong!

I am constantly wowed by Piaget's amazing construction and gem-setting. These timepieces showcase incredible technique and facility with jewelry setting/finish. I am so envious that you got to be in a room with all these watches at the same time. How many... 

Wow

the diamond setting work is really good especially at irregular contour. Kong

Marvelous pictures Kong !

My question about these watches, doesn't the promenance of the tourbillon of the Emperador make it hard to read the time? I don't see much contrast between the hands and the dial. How does it work in reality? Don

Viewing it in real ...

Hi Don Thanks for viewing. Though the hands do not provide much contrast, time reading is easy,even on the full pave dial. Viewing at a tilt angle helps a lot too. Kong

Great pics Kong ! Thanks a lot ! [nt]

The Polo Tourbillon is technically fascinating, have a look in real piece. Hope your location has a piece of the skeletonised Emperador,so you could see the thinnest tourb Cal 600P. Kong

At last, a Piaget I can lust after . . .

. . . or, as Mr Peabody would've put it . . . . . . "A Piaget in the key of jlC" . . . There's something special about rectangular skeleton tourbillons . . . cordially, Art...  

Thanks Art!

How thick is the JLC's tourby? I would say there is something special about skeletonised tourby Kong

Not sure, but here's a photo . . .

. . . that should convey . . . . . . the proportions....  

The pic says a lots ...

Thanks Art. The slender Skeletonised Piaget is more attractive. Kong

They might be similar superficially, but offer different perspectives . . .

 
 By: Dr No : June 15th, 2010-22:47
. . . as the Reverso comes off as an abstract marvel, and the Emperador seems more successful qua watch. I hope I'm not being needlessly obscure . . . perhaps a better way of putting it is that the Reverso seems better suited for a Museum of Design, while... 

Once again I'm in awe of the workmanship...

the skyline of New York City on the side of that Polo is phenomenal. I also love the Piaget offers so many interesting tourbillons in their Emperador case. Many companies only put their tourbillons and other complicated movements in round cases. Kudos to ... 

Thanks Dino...
