If you’ve ever wanted to feel closer to magic, holding a skeletonised watch in your hands might just do it. Much like its title suggests, a skeletal endeavour fastened to your wrist means that you can see through the framework of a watch. Have someone stare through the watch, looking back at you and you’ll feel that magic. How can something so miniature, yet full of so many parts, not only tell the time, but do so through translucent gaps in its creation?

Call it wizardry, call it expertise in skeletonised watchmaking since 1948 — the fine Swiss watch and jewellery Maison Piaget, call it their second language. With a history of dissecting dials and revealing parts of the watch for the eye to pass through, the Maison decided that their repertoire for innovation shouldn’t just stop with making sculptural skeletons.

For the first time in the brand’s history, Piaget showcases a more urban/understated offering with the incorporation of a ceramic model. Now, think about how much you’ve changed or achieved over the past three years. During that time, Piaget has remained focused on this mission – amongst many – to bring life to a ceramic watch with a striking, jet-black finish, while embracing the signature style of the Polo with its ultra-thin codes. A second skin on the wrist.

While thinness and robustness seemingly contradict each other, Piaget achieves a feat by uniting the two characteristics, by building a new case from the ground up. Anchored by a titanium container, this achievement sits at just 7.5mm.

Illuminated by Superluminova accents, Piaget adds another first, because three intense years on a brand-new watch isn’t an act of excellence enough. Now, the Maison proudly emblazons its logo onto the oscillating weight.

Audacious in spirit, while still maintaining the efforts of its early founders, the Piaget Polo is here to prove a point. To be disruptive, to showcase watchmaking pushing the limits and going beyond boundaries, but to show that fine watchmaking will always rise to the challenge of remaining relevant in modern times. Rebel wrists at the ready.
