The Watch
Founded in 1874 in the small Swiss village of La Côte-aux-Fées, Piaget's history is defined by one key date – 1957 – which marks a kind of Before-and-After in Piaget's history. This was when the house introduced its ultra-thin 9P hand wound mechanical movement, a caliber that would revolutionize both the brand and the watch industry itself.
The 9P movement of 1957, at a groundbreaking 2mm thick, made it possible for Piaget to create super-sleek watches that were much thinner than others on the market ("They looked thin, but ours looked very, very thin," Forot explains). It also meant more fabulous jewelry watches with bigger dials.
