Piaget Upstream – a Downstream Review By Dr Melvyn Teillol-Foo When Piaget launched the Upstream in 2001, CEO Philippe Léopold-Metzger hoped to change the way people perceived Piaget, saying, “The idea with Upstream was to be very innovative, very differe...  

This is the 1st time I've ever seen a picture of one, and it reminds me of the Tag Heuer Tiger Woods watch which has a similar foldable design. Cheers, Anthony pic from Tag Heuer website pic from gizmag...  

...so, thanks MTF for the post. I'm completely intrigued by the clasp mechanism. Looking at the photos of the mechanism at work gives me a feeling of, "Drat! Why didn't I think of that?!" It's so clever, and unique, really. A fantastic, wholly integrated,...
