There’s nothing more classic and appealing than a simple dress watch.
Though to be fair, when we say ‘simple’, we mean ‘uncomplicated’ — not unattractive! The 20th century saw a plethora of such watches hit the market. Generally available on leather straps and featuring two or three hands, these reliable wristwatches kept time during the classiest decades of the past 100 years. However, some were more innovative than others.
Take this exquisite piece from Piaget, specialists in ultra-thin watchmaking: it’s as much akin to a piece of jewelry as it is to a more traditional wristwatch.
Housed in a 24mm x 29mm hexagonal white gold case with a fantastic onyx-set bezel and pave dial, this Piaget possesses a striking presence unlike any other piece. To complement the striking dial and bezel, this watch has a woven bark-finished bracelet.
This watch is powered by a manually-wound movement, serving as a reminder of Piaget’s ultra-thin watchmaking acumen. Calling back to an art-deco styling, this piece is the perfect Vegas watch or choice for a night out with friends.
Imagine the looks of curiosity — and envy — that you’ll stir up when rocking this beautiful Piaget at a cocktail party. With its eye-catching design, fascinating dial, and awesome bracelet pattern, this is a standout timepiece appropriate for virtually any wrist.
While these beautiful Piaget pieces from the late 20th century went underappreciated for many years, we have recently seen a deserved surge in interest for these avant-garde designs. Catch this one before it’s gone!
