I have to declare a bias
as I've been to the factory AGAIN, last week and saw how they make some f those pieces (jewellery and watches).
It is surprising (to me) that Piaget is not standing still in a global recession -- they have invested more into the Manufactures -- that I can reveal next year about their in-house capabilities 
But, I guess that is not a surprise to Piaget, which has done the same thing during the last great Swiss quartz crisis.
Just for a thrill and because I do not have anything like it, the Polo FortyFive Chronograph (black dial) looks appealing for Christmas........Santa Baby, Are you listening?

Piaget for the holidays
The 2009 holiday season is right around the corner for many of us, so what better time than now to present timepieces and jewelry of remarkable elegance and craftsmanship -- the hallmarks of good taste for which Piaget is known. So, to all you good little...
Daos, I must prohibt you from
...ever mentioning any of these ladies pieces to my wife! (Though they are gorgeous.) The Altiplano, on the other hand, let's see more! Best, Jed
Too late!
Don't you think your wife deserves something shiny and pretty for all she does? Remember the rule for domestic harmony: 2 watches for you; 1 for her (or maybe 3 watches for you, 1 necklace for her). Well, you get the idea! *evil chuckling* Daos
Some holiday choices....
The more I see them the more I like the models from the Altiplano line. I would gladly accept the GOA34113 which is the rose gold model with small seconds at 10/11 o'clock. The classic ultra thin rose Altiplano GOA 31114 would also be a nice holiday treat...
Have you been naughty...
...or nice this year, Dino? LOL! Nice, I'm sure. The Altiplano line is one of my favorites from Piaget. The thin cases still manage to have a presence on the wrist, and they all exude elegance. The Double Jeu is my favorite Piaget timepiece, and I think t...
I think Nice....
Hi Daos, For some reason I am drawn to case shapes other than round for dress watches. My current three dress watches are square, rectangular, and an asymetric case. Hence the Emperador calls to me because its an intersting twist on a rectangular case. Ye...
Moonphase! PIAGET Emperador coussin moon phase
A little bird once told me that the ladies appreciate watches with a moonphase. What do you think Daos? This particular moonphase watch I've mentioned from Piaget is accurate enough to only require a one day adjustment every 122 years.
Moonphases are very romantic...
...and who doesn't want a little romance in their life? My favorite Coussin moonphase is the rose gold with blue dial. Stunning. Yes, the level of accuracy to which Piaget can lay claim, is noteworthy, but astronomical accuracy aside, for me it's the aest...
Three watches for a necklace? The math doesn't quite work out, Daos, especially . . .
. . . if one is . . . . . . a rose gold Piaget Emperador. That is, unless you took calculus from the inimitable Lionel Richie . . . . . . in which case all is understood ;-) . . . cordially, Art...
Math never was my strong suit, Art!
I rather preferred Art History, which was "easy like Sunday morning" for me (for the most part!). Cheers, Daos

Hopefully, Santa comes through for you!
The FortyFive Chrono is pretty sweet. I still can't get over the way the strap hugs your wrist. It's a great design. In a way, I'm not surprised that Piaget continues striding forward, despite the harsh reality of today's global economy. When you have pro...
Criticism: where criticism is due
Although I am the Piaget forum moderator, I still have to criticise one aspect of the design of the Polo FortyFive Chronograph. The sub-registers have markings 2/3 of the way along the hands such that the body of the tapering hand blocks the view if the m...
