Piaget Altiplano watch

Watch G0A34240

Ultra-thin, mechanical, white gold, diamonds, enamel

Piaget once again explores the world of orchids through four absolutely splendid one-of-a-kind creations. On the dainty dial, the enamel artist has created a painted miniature of the Laeliocattleya “Irene yellow” orchid. Beneath the flower, also crafted in grand feu enamel, lies a finely hand-guilloché base coated with a layer of translucent enamel according to the flinqué technique. The skills of the enamel specialists and the engraver are combined with those of the Piaget watchmakers, acknowledged masters of ultra-thin mechanical movements decorated according to the traditions of Haute Horlogerie.

Piaget practises the delicate art of enamelling

With its rich vein of creativity, the Manufacture Piaget offers numerous opportunities for personalising watch creations and draws on the talents of the most ingenious artistic crafts. Its exceptional models require the contribution of only the very best craftsman, such as Anita Porchet, an internationally-acclaimed independent enameller. Combining different techniques to produce creations of great sophistication, Piaget thus contributes to the preservation of the artistic crafts that are so closely linked to the spirit of Fine Watchmaking. Enamel as a material is a glass compound to which metal oxides are added so as to obtain an infinite range of colours and tints. The “oven-fired” enamels used by Piaget reach their point of fusion at an extremely high temperature of more than 800°C, which gives them their exceptional purity and ensures the durability. Various techniques of enamelling are used such as cloisonné, champlevé, flinqué and miniature painting. The latter uses the all of the dexterity and sensitivity of the master enameller. Layer after layer, it gives life to an exceptional painting that will be protected from the ravages of time by a transparent glaze called fondant and made according to the Geneva technique. Hand in hand, the Manufacture Piaget’s creative teams and Anita Porchet work together to explore new techniques of enamelling in order to produce innovative special effects in a spirit of constantly renewed creativity.
