Piaget

Founded by a farmer in the meager periods where he was seeking to earn extra income, Georges Piaget started his business in the year 1874. His shop was located in La- Cote- Aux- Fees where his sons eventually took responsibility of what their father left as legacy. They were the ones who managed the company during the First World War and Second World War as well as with the Great Depression.

Before the Second World War, watches by Piaget were sold to other businesses in the industry who then etched their own labels over the dials. After the Second World War, the third generation of the family, the brainchild’s grandsons, Valentin and Gerald participated in the dealings with the company. They were the two individuals who pursued ambitious strategies in order to establish the firm that has been passed on them as a legacy. With that, there were then new collections of timepieces released in the market which were regarded with high esteem by the consumers even at the initial stages.

Around the year 1950’s, countries such as the United States widely welcomed foreign investors where Piaget built another headquarters in New York. That was an addition to the offices located in Germany and Geneva. With the opening, the business was able to promote several of its watches. One of those was the timepiece featuring a very fine line of a movement dubbed as 9P. It permitted the company to come up with famous Piaget watches that were elegant to be worn by both women and men. There was another known as 12P that was the thinnest automatic mechanism in the world in that period.

During the sixties, Piaget did not think twice to expand considering that it has already instituted a name in the industry. The business acquired a lot of producers of bracelets and cases which paved way for strict control regulation. By the following years, you will learn that the focus of the company has changed. The watches appeared as if they are exceptional jewelries. The dials were now sold in an array of patterns while the materials on the other hand, became increasingly unusual. Also, the firm ended up with having smiths that are experts with precious gems than artisans who are proficient on timepieces.

However, Piaget did not veer away from the production of the quartz movement which when introduced around the seventies, badly affected the rest of the Swiss watch business. Others closed down operation while there where those fortunate enough to survive and the company is among those that were able to soar high in the industry. The firm also continued to create mechanical timepieces. The likes though of Omega and Rolex ruled over the sports arena. With that, Piaget watch settled with a decision to specialize in horological devices that were of utter flamboyance.

Also, when Polo introduced a watch that was remarkably appealing to the sight especially that the bracelet is made of solid gold, Piaget also followed where the approach put them once again to the pedestal. The two businesses were admired much that it spawned the proliferation of imitators. Timepieces of the latter company were replicated but the creations of the firm were not copied since it brought the counterfeiters based in Italy and Hong Kong to be subject to the hands of the law. With that wide method, the brand was saved from being illegally duplicated by the dirty tricks in trade.

At this juncture, there is already a number of Piaget replica watch even when you browse the websites online. Yes, you can save on a huge amount of cash but nothing beats the investment that you will get for an original.
