Product Description
In the small Swiss town of La Cote-aux-Fees in 1874, the piaget family began making watchworks that quickly became the preferred movements of the most pretigious watchmakers in Europe. This book details the characteristics of piaget movements, both wind-up and automatic; the crafting of quality watches by hand and by computerized machinery; the creation of piaget's trademark supple watchbands woven entirely of gold; the quartz revolution; and the most recent and unique commissioned creations from the house of piaget.
This is the most comprehensive and the most complete source of information published so far about this worldfamous manufacturer of top class watches. Close to 100 per cent of its contents are due to the former international sales director of the company, Emil Keller, who had worked side by side with Gerald and Valentin Piaget, the owners, as from 1957.
This is an excellent book detailing the Piaget Company. Anyone who appreciates fine craftmanship in watches would enjoy this volume. The photographs are wonderful and beautiful printing is throughout. As a watch collector, I would hope that the other "top houses" of watchmaking would permit such a work to be published. If nothing else, it is one good ad piece for prospective Piaget customers.
