Piaget

Very cool watches...

My favorites are the one with the a pietersite dial and the last one with the mother of pearl dial. The watch with the a pietersite dial, I'm just drawn into the dial. Its such an unsual looking material that I forgot about the case shape. If I found a pair of cufflinks with pietersite I would definitely get them.

The last one with mother of pearl, is a lot of fun. It looks like something of the late 60s early 70s. It gives the watch kind of a fun whimsical look, and I like when watches are not always serious in appearance even when they are from a serious watch maker.

I like watches that are in unusual case shapes. I think it makes them more of a conversation piece. I have an asymetric cased Vacheron, which I adore. When people notice it they often look again and ask if its a rectangle or an optical allusion that makes it look like its not symetrical. Its a fun piece. I find that since I usually where a round sport watch for everyday, putting on something that is not round makes it feel more special, maybe a bit dressier. Sometimes its fun to wear something unexpected and different.

Best regards,

Dino

Shaped watches are perhaps not for everyone. Those comfortable with wearing an uncommonly shaped timepiece are often confident in themselves and their own tastes. I like those kind of people! Piaget is a brand confident in its watchmaking and artistic pro...

every oddly shaped case just because it's different, but this one I sure do . Just keep the diamonds off and the case looks great! I also really love the textured gold bracelet (your description), never seen that before! Also what is a pietersite dial? Th...

...not unlike tiger's eye, but the fibrous material running through the stone (quartz is the base, I believe) doesn't run in quite a definite linear pattern like the tiger's eye. Instead the streaks kind of swirl around. I think Jaquet Droz had some prett...

Piaget unusual hexagon watches but still haute horologerie

I like the funkiness of hexagonal watches from Piaget because few other brands have haute horlogerie products of this shape and thin-ness. They have the ultra-thin and famous 9P movement inside, one of the thinnest mechanical movements ever. Also they put...

...maturity in taste, or an eclectic and open-minded view of beauty are needed to best appreciate these hexagonal watches. As a dress option, I find them quite compelling. They have a pleasing architectural quality to them. Cheers, Daos

My fav one ? The MOP version !

...sophisticated tastes and the intellect to appreciate an unusual offering such as these hexagonal watches. I think the MOP piece would make an excellent black tie watch. Imagine it with MOP/onyx shirt studs, cufflinks, and tie pin! Cheers, Daos

I am very drawn to the pietersite dial.

By: dxboon : April 13th, 2011-07:14

The myriad colors and patterns inherent in the stone make the dial interesting from every angle. There's something to discover in every facet of the dial. The MOP dial is so zany and fun. I would love that watch on a man in a black (or white) tux! You cou...

in the pietersite dial really make the watch come alive. You get some intense orange and reds, and the dark tone of the dial really makes them stand out. I think it would be a very exciting watch for a woman at an elegant function. The MOP dial is kind of...

You're welcome, Dino! :-)

You always have such good insights and commentary on the boards. I enjoy posting for you! Cheers, Daos

What is the case size, Daos?

By: AndrewD : April 14th, 2011-01:27

Without a wrist shot, it's hard to tell. Which paradoxically means that Piaget got the proportions correct. It's great to mix up traditional horology a little. Striking designs. Andrew

Not sure, but will check.

By: dxboon : April 15th, 2011-00:00

It's got to be a moderately-sized piece, nothing too outlandish! I am going to ask for the dimensions and get back to you. Cheers, Daos

I hope you wear, and enjoy it! The bracelet is actually one of my favorite details about the timepiece. Cheers, Daos

Thank you. bye the way , are they 60`s or 70`s watches?

By: dxboon : June 28th, 2014-13:14

...probably late 60s, but I'm not sure. Daos

shadowprince2000, These Piaget hexagonal and hard stone dial watches with gold bracelet are very rare and I have never seen one outside the Piaget museum. Thus, your post of a real one in real use is even more rare. Most Piaget customers are not like fans...
