In the small Swiss town of La Cote-aux-Fees in 1874, the Piaget family began making watchworks that quickly became the preferred movements of the most pretigious watchmakers in Europe. This book details the characteristics of Piaget movements, both wind-up and automatic; the crafting of quality watches by hand and by computerized machinery; the creation of Piaget's trademark supple watchbands woven entirely of gold; the quartz revolution; and the most recent and unique commissioned creations from the house of Piaget.
