Piaget Emperador Coussin Moonphase
Hi All,
Carrying on from my recent visit to a Piaget Boutique I also tried on an alternative dress watch, the Emperador Coussin (cushion) Moonphase in RG.
Actually this watch caught my eye because I recalled the Piece Unique that was produced for Only Watch 2009 that featured Neil Armstrong's footprint on the moon disk. This watch of course commemorated the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Despite the lack of footprint (I wonder who has that watch), the regular production piece is still stunning. The same RG 46.5mm case and superb blue dial with applied hour markers, the automatic Cal. 860P in-house movement and the enchanting moonphase. I gather that each moondisk is unique anyway, because the manufacturing process means that no two discs are alike.
What do you think?

I think it's gorgeous!
I like the warm shade of rose gold paired with the blue dial. It even matches your shirt! I have not tried on this particular watch but other Emperador Coussin watches I've found to be very comfortable. I advise people not to be scared by the written dime...
Agreed, it was very comfortable ...
I was lazy in these photos and didn't take my other watch off. But the Piaget is on a deployant and when appropriately sized (which the sales assistant kindly did for me) it sat very comfortably up on the wrist. Like any watch, you need to try it on befor...
It pronounces the importance of the Moonphase
.. maybe a bit too strong. As a piece of art it´s interesting, but not wearable for me at least (not speaking about affordability ) Kind regards, anaesdoc
As you say, it's bold and striking ...
... and the moon phase display is certainly the centre of attention. But Piaget have done it so nicely with the moving disk and textured moon surface and the design language is carried through very well in the rest of the watch. It's a beautiful piece. Th...
Not on this visit, but ...
Actually I was still quite taken with it. The size is imposing on my small wrist, but as a 'modern' dress watch (I include here anything that is larger than the traditional 34-37mm and with a more complex design than just 2 or 3 hands) I think it's quite ...
Thats a very handsome watch...
It looks great on you and I hope you are giving it some serious consideration. The moon disk is really cool! The dial is beautiful. I always think blue dials look so regal as the color looks so deep and luxurious. Its also interesting to see it paired wit...
The white is a beauty...
I've only owned one white gold watch, but after that I almost always have chosen rose when given the choice. I think its because I wear steel watches for my daily wearers, so when I go with a dressier watch I like something thats a different color. Either...
