Very elegant with the that enamel dial. Also love the fact that the Roman numerals are so nice and thin. Reminds me of the early Tank models of Cartier.

Can you guess the theme of my soon-to-be published article? What treasures will I show you from the magical workshops of Manufacture Piaget? Start getting all fired up, people! Cheers, Daos...  

Cool! [nt]

I have not seen one with an enamel dial yet. Beautiful, very very beautiful. Handwinder or automatic? Piaget is so underrated. Is enamel your new theme?

Ding, ding, ding!

I'll soon be posting more on the subject of enamel dials from Piaget. The watch pictured in my original post houses automatic caliber 809P. Cheers, Daos

... watches in Piagets online catalog. Is there an update on the way? And is an enamel dial beeing offered for other caseforms, like the traditional Emperador or the Altiplano? If yes, I will know that my next watch is probably going to be a Piaget (inste...

...but perhaps they were less obvious, as the enamel-work showcases techniques such as flinqué and miniature painting (see the orchid motif Altiplano on their site). Do you want the ultimate (in my opinion) enamel watch? Piaget will create a custom piece ...

... indeed. Imagine you are watchmaker at Piaget and you have to do all that precision detail work, day in day out, year in year out. Hats off to alle those nameless people who produce mostly perfect watches for us. For me this would be hard labour

Thats a beauty...

it seems that we often see so many photos online or in watch magazines of the more complicated Piaget pieces, especially when it comes to the Emperador or Emperador Coussin, that its easy to overlook the time only models. But its really quite lovely as a ... 

Thanks, Dino!

I'd love to own this piece in 18K white gold. Simple is almost always better IMO! Cheers, Daos

WOW! Is that enamel?

Hi, Daos, That dial looks stunning! Can't wait to learn more about this one! Thanks, Alex

It is enamel...

...and a lovely example, in a beautiful case, to boot! Cheers, Daos

I agree! Two hands, a grand feu enamel dial, and some elegant, slender Romans, and I'm yours! This limited edition Emperador Coussin is one of my favorite Piagets. Thanks for taking a look, and leaving a note! Cheers, Daos
