A short history
Georges Édouard Piaget set up his workshop in 1874 in La Côte-aux-Fées, a village in the Swiss Jura, making movements for other brands. Piaget began signing watches under its own name in the 20th century and became known for very thin movements: the hand-wound 9P in 1957 and the automatic 12P in 1960, then the thinnest self-winding movement of its kind.
In the 1960s and 1970s Piaget also became famous for jewellery watches with stone dials and gold bracelets. The Polo appeared in 1979. Piaget has been part of the Richemont group since the late 1980s.
