Congrats! Piaget Honored At Rendez-Vous de l’Horlogerie In Monaco.

 

This year at the Rendez-Vous de l’Horlogerie in Monaco, over 1000 people cast their vote in the Grand Prix du Cercle de l’Horlogerie.  The winners where chosen by enthusiasts and collectors who were present at the event.  During this Monegasque event each participant brought watches to present to the voting public in these categories: Men, Women, New Time Pieces and Avant garde.  The event was organised by Deluxe society who had the support of the government
and Barclays Wealth.

The Women category received the most votes followed by Men. (A difference of only 3 votes), Piaget stood
out by showing its savoir-faire on watch making with its Emperador Coussin Tourbillon Automatique, yet
another achievement and record is set in the domain of extra thin watches and also jewellery watches with its
Altiplano diamond paved watch.

Congrats to the team at Piaget!  Well-deserved, and I love both timepieces (especially the tourbillon)!
