I think the use of the term "Possession" is meant...
...poetically. To be consumed, "possessed" by love, is what Piaget is getting at IMO. I also think the word stems from their design of circles within circles, or a union of joined circles -- one "possessed" by another (think of the rotating bezel within the circular case, or their Possession rings which are formed essentially of two eternal circles fused into one piece).
Thanks for your thoughts!
Daos
PS -- You'd be special regardless of the company you keep!
For Valentine's Day -- or any day, really!
Luckily, with the appointment of the lovely Mrs. Tsai as the new co-moderator over in the brand new Bulgari forum, I'm no longer the token girl on the PuristSPro team. However, I do still feel the need to represent on behalf of the fairer sex on our board...
Aw, you were never the token girl on the team, Daos . . .
. . . just ask pplater - he says I'm the first! Oh, and as far as Valentine's gifts go: candy is dandy but Piagets can ricochet ;-) . . . [with apologies to e e cummings, of course . . .]
e.e. would be proud, Art!
That Pplater is a troublemaker! Candy is always appreciated for Valentine's Day, but diamonds are a girl's best friend (or so I'm told)! Thanks for reading, Art! Cheers, Daos
It's tough this year..
14th February 2010 is both St Valentine's Day and Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year/Spring Festival). Why is it tough? The New Year is when family get together for that 'Re-union Dinner' and family festivities. That's like Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled...
Well, for two kids in love...
...every day is Valentine's Day, right? Isn't that what it's like for you and the current Mrs. MTF? Cheers, Daos
While I like the whimsicle font/script on the dial...
For me its not really a favorite design from their collection. I know my wife is not really a fan of it either. Its also bit too much like the Cartier Love watch which my wife is not fond of either...although I'm not sure which came first, the Piaget in t...
Your wife is awesome...
...for wanting a manual-wind watch. That's cool -- and very different from what many other women seem to desire. I believe the Piaget Possession watches predate the Cartier Love watches by about two years. Possession watches were launched in 2005, and I b...
Thanks Daos...
Hi Daos, I often tell my wife I inadvertently turned her into a quartz-hater. Funny thing is, depending on the watch, I don't mind a quartz and I even own a Rolex OYSTERQUARTZ ref 17000. Her aversion to watches with quartz movements does limit her watch c...
Perfect, Thanks for the reminder Daos,
Hi Daos, I just need to send this post to my boyfriend as a reminder that V-day is coming up, LOL. With regards to Piaget's Possession, I had the pleasures of looking at the rose gold version, that was paired with an elegant looking brownish strap. I don'...
I love the necklaces, myself!
I wish I had a highroller boyfriend to buy one for me! Hope you end up having a fantastic Valentine's Day! Cheers, Daos
Let me know ...
Hi Daos, Let me know when you find a highroller boyfriend, hopefully he has a brother, LOL . It'll be a fun Feb 14 this year, as it's the same day as Chinese New Year and long weekend! Hopefully - get lots of red envelopes Hope you've a fun V-day and long...
Good ideas for V-day
Hi Daos, Thanks for these suggestions. I didn't realize that there's a matching pendant. I've been seriously considering getting my girlfriend either the rose gold Possession or the Limelight and leaning more towards the Possession because IMO the Limelig...
Your girlfriend is a lucky duck!
The RG necklace would make a great birthday present for her (since it's engraved "Happy Birthday" on one side). Cheers, Daos
Sometimes it's nice and special to be in the minority :)
It's intimidating to be amongst so many gentlemen. I often wonder whether I am stomping on their territory...lol. But I suppose we contribute a perspective that wouldn't be present here otherwise. As for the pieces you've presented here, very pretty! I do...
