In the 1960s, Piaget experimented with ornamental stones, drawing on their authentic colours for flamboyant timepieces.
Challenges included slicing opal, turquoise, tiger's eye and other stones to obtain delicate dials. Piaget honed the stonecutting expertise for crafting the faces of its watches, which are first and foremost pieces of jewellery.
Yves Piaget's vision has been reinforced by several pieces from the new Colours Of Extraleganza collection -- the third in a high-jewellery trilogy.
