Marc Menant (Brand and Customer Experience Manager in Asia) explaining the history of Piaget
Fascinating history on Piaget: In 1874 farmer Georges-Edouard Piaget set up workshop on his family farm in La Côte-aux-Fées, a very small village in the Swiss Jura mountains. His entire family (wife and 14 children, 7 boys and 7 girls 😳 Husband and wife were busy all the time !!! ) worked on producing movements. The rest was history as it evolved from movement production for brands to making watches under the Piaget name along with its eventual tie-up to Richemont. It is known for its thin movements throughout the 20thcentury.
Little side story: La Côte-aux-Fées literally translates into “the coast of fairies”. Though, originally, fees was not written Fées but Faye (pronounced the same way than Fées), meaning “ship”.
