 By: MTF : May 1st, 2009-17:40
Fellow PuristS, I have the exquisite pleasure in welcoming everyone to our newest forum on PuristSPro: PIAGET. I had been under the impression that I had 'retired' from moderating brand forums forever but I was convinced to make a comeback because of a ne...

Great there goes another well kept PuristS secret

First you introduced me to the fine hidden restaurants around the world. Then you let me in on the secrets of Cartier's Collection Privee long before the series was appreciated by the mainstream. and now you are spilling the beans about PIAGET! How could ... 

Congrats MTF

I look forward to your reign (May it be long!) over the Piaget forum! I hope to see my fave Piaget, the Altiplano Double Jeu, discussed herein! That's one timepiece I'd love to get my paws on if I had the opportunity, and the funds! I love Piaget's subtle... 

Great news, this Piaget forum...

before the Purists trip last year I knew of Piaget movements and Piaget jewelry, but didn't know they came from the same company, Piaget is not an uncommon name here. Looking forward to learning more ! Don

of the current Piaget line.....thanks for the photos. It is amazing how thin the Altiplano Double Jeu is when closed and then more amazing when opened to show 2 movements. Regards, MTF

Congrats to Piaget and PuristPro =)

This brand should've been here since long as well as Cartier. Their finishing and details are marvelous. Regards

There are some watch brands....

 
 By: Dje : May 2nd, 2009-07:42
Hi, There are some watch brands that pretend to make high horology but hardly go beyond encasing basic calibres and there are manufactures like Piaget who nearly long denied producing high end calibres..... I'm quite happy to see such a real manufacture j...

Piaget is an interesting brand occupying its very unique niche. It was about time for this house to get its proper forum and I couldn't think of a better moderator for it! My best wishes Valentin

I'm very happy to know that we have a Piaget Forum, here

 
 By: amanico : May 2nd, 2009-14:25
As you said, Piaget is an authentic Manufacture, with a treu horological tradition. I'm sure that, under your moderation, Melvin, we will learn a lot and re discover this fabulous Brand. That are very good news, indeed. So, congrats to Piaget, and to you,... 

You know you're on the right track . . .

Our 1st grey-dial Altiplano

 
 By: MTF : May 4th, 2009-16:48
Hurrah! Thanks for our first in-the-wild Altiplano grey dial shot. This is close to the classic Piaget and showing their ultra-thin movement heritage. I may have been a little pessimistic no to expect ANY real owners' photos Regards, MTF

A bird on the wrist is worth.....

 
 By: MTF : May 4th, 2009-16:50
any number in the boutique! But two watches in one? What is that worth? Regards, MTF

I'm happy to see such an underrated manufacturer get its own dedicated forum.

I've admired Piaget for a long time and it is a brand that does not receive enough discussion. Congratulations!

MTF, I am looking forward to the new discovery

 
 By: ling5hk : May 3rd, 2009-17:13
This brand has been misunderstood and miscontrued by many watch lovers, including myself. You are the captain now to guide us to the right direction. Regards Ling

Congratulations on the new Piaget forum.

 
 By: jlux : May 4th, 2009-07:07
Great to have at last a Piaget forum.It is really a great brand with many fantastic pieces. I love my Polo which is still one of my favorite watches....  

Our 1st native gold and black Polo!

 
 By: MTF : May 4th, 2009-16:45
Hurrah! Our 1st in-the-wild photo of the new Polo gold/black. Perhaps I was a little pessimistic not expecting ANY Piaget owners to post Thanks for your support! Regards, MTF

Can't wait to learn more even more

 
 By: Allen : May 4th, 2009-12:30
there seem to be many watchmaking treasures in Piaget waiting for us to discover them.

I cannot wait to get to know this brand more.

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : May 4th, 2009-13:14
Congratulations on the launch of this new and exciting watch forum!

THANK YOU ALL

 
 By: MTF : May 4th, 2009-17:04
I know that shouting 'capital letters' may be a little rude on the Internet but I have no other way of expressing my thanks for your support. Frankly, I am a little surprised that ANY Piaget real owners or fans posted photos. We had this preconception tha... 

Excellent!

 
 By: CTCT : May 5th, 2009-03:10
Maybe trough this forum everyone will be able to discover or rediscover a brand that is truly in the domain of Haute Horlogerie. Congratulations... Carlos Torres

Looking forward to hear more about the brand Piaget, we had a great time there last year. Best, Michel

Hope all's well, Michel. MTF, Piaget, congratulations, and thanks!

 
 By: ThomasM : May 8th, 2009-00:02
I've long been an admirer of Piaget's movement manufacturing prowess, both "old school" and new. In Taiwan, Piaget is frequently included in the "3 P's" - AP, PP, and Piaget. Interestingly, VC is not included in this "holy trinity" as it is in "the West" ... 

Cool to have the opportunity to learn more details about Piaget [nt]
