To mark Piaget’s 150th anniversary, the Maison recently hosted an exclusive event for the watch collectors in our cherished Tatler community at the Mondrian Hotel Singapore.
The dazzling showcase of horological mastery offered a rare glimpse into the brand’s rich heritage and cutting-edge innovations in watchmaking. A highlight of the evening was the presence of Robin Moy, Piaget’s watch expert from its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. His insights provided attendees with a deeper understanding of the brand’s commitment to precision and artistry in exquisite horology.

The private viewing session featured over 48 exquisite creations, each a testament to Piaget’s three core expertise: precious stones, gold crafting, and ultra-thin movements. Tatler guests were treated to an immersive touch and feel session, reminiscent of the recent Watches and Wonders experience, allowing them to appreciate the intricate details of novel timepieces up close.
Among the standout pieces was the new Piaget Polo 79, a reimagining of the iconic 1979 model that was executed entirely in 18-karat gold, captivating the jet set 45 years ago.

The highly anticipated Piaget Polo Date 150th Anniversary Edition couple’s watch was also on display, striking a perfect balance between the historic Piaget Polo’s bright gadroons and the casual-chic allure of the iconic Piaget Polo Date.
The event also marked the Southeast Asian debut of the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon watch. This marvel of engineering, measuring just 2 mm in thickness, showcases Piaget’s mastery of ultra-thin movements—a speciality the brand has been perfecting since 1957.
