Piaget, the renowned Swiss watchmaker and jeweler, introduces a breathtaking collection to commemorate the Lunar New Year, heralding the commencement of a new 12-year cycle in the Chinese Zodiac. This collection artfully honors the Dragon and Phoenix, symbolic representations of masculinity and femininity, strength and power, hope and rebirth, encapsulating the essence of harmony and balance.
At the heart of the collection are the meticulously crafted Altiplano and Emperador models. Master enameler Anita Porchet lends her expertise to the 38mm Altiplano Zodiac references, limited to 38 pieces each. These timepieces feature enchanting blue Dragons or Phoenixes in vibrant red, pink, and orange hues against a dial adorned with white and grey mother of pearl, brought to life through cloisonné enameling and gold engraving.
The High Jewellery segment showcases a 41mm Altiplano watch with a gold-engraved Dragon clasping a mystical black opal, limited to eight numbered editions. A Piaget Emperador watch with a flying tourbillon, snow-set sapphires, and diamonds evokes a celestial starry sky.
Two Phoenix High Jewellery watches add a feminine touch, featuring marquise and brilliant-cut diamonds or ruby and white gold, both limited to eight pieces each. The collection expands its horizons with Dragon brooches, rings, and Phoenix earcuffs, highlighting Piaget’s expertise in gold engraving.
Standout pieces include a Dragon ring with a 4.02ct cushion-cut Mozambique ruby and a Dragon brooch adorned with yellow sapphire, spessartite, and spinel. The earcuffs, available in diamond and rose gold or ruby and white gold, embody Piaget’s signature asymmetry and flamboyance.
Completing the collection are made-to-order High Jewellery cuff watches, where the Dragon cuff combines onyx and diamond cuts with a black opal cabochon, and the Phoenix cuff features a rubellite cabochon adorned with pink rubies, sapphires, and cobalt spinels.
