Piaget Protocole ref.9154 Jade Dial from 1970
Piaget has always been known for its decorative nature. The brand's relatively young entry into the watch industry in 1940s allowed it the freedom to design timepieces without relying heavily on its historical background. This artistic liberty provided ample room for creative expression, Piaget's style reached its pinnacle during the 1970s when it established itself as a leader in creating elegant dress watches for both men and women. Unlike its competitors, Piaget never prioritized complications or precision, instead positioning itself as a jeweler that approached watchmaking as an art form, emphasizing the aesthetic aspect of timepieces. Even when Piaget pursued the development of ultra-thin movements, it was done with the sole purpose of enhancing the overall design.
In 1963, Piaget introduced its first collection of watches adorned with stones, which were meticulously cut to a thickness of less than one millimeter. This level of delicacy made them exceptionally fragile and presented significant challenges during the manufacturing process. Nonetheless, the quality and craftsmanship exhibited in these stone-adorned timepieces surpassed that of other watchmakers during the same era.
