PIAGET POLO S : BACK IN BLACK

In 1979 , the world discovered a timepiece that would become an icon of its generation : the Piaget Polo .
In July 2016 , in New York , Piaget launched its natural heir and successor , a new watch for a new generation : the Piaget Polo S .
In 2017 , in response to the great acclaim it has received , Piaget enriches the Piaget Polo S collection with three new creations .
The Story Grows
To the five watches launched in 2016 in the vibrant and dynamic city of New York , three more timepieces have been added to complete the collection . The Piaget Polo S Chronograph , equipped with the 1160P movement , is now available for the first time with a slate-gray dial .
In a limited edition of 888 individually numbered timepieces , the Piaget Polo S , equipped with the 1110P movement , appears with a black dial , ADLC-treated bezel and black rubber strap . The Piaget Polo S Chronograph is also available in a limited edition of 888 individually numbered
timepieces with the same specifications . To allow two types of wear , these two creations are delivered with a second black calfskin leather strap and offer different possibilities of attire .
Truly Piaget , Truly Original
The Piaget Polo S collection takes its name from the elegant and demanding sport of polo . It is infused with the ethos of Piaget Society that was founded on the lasting friendships the brand has formed in the world of music , film , art and sports . It expresses the grammar of shapes that is at the heart of the Piaget DNA . And yet , this is the watch for those who challenge conventions .
Featuring an ingenious shape-within-shape that is Piaget ’ s distinctive hallmark , the Piaget Polo S displays the unique association of a cushion-shaped dial within a round 42mm case . The dial is rendered distinctively contemporary with horizontal guilloche and superluminova dauphine hands , complete with a skeleton P on the second-hand counterweight . Designed by Piaget , its automatic in-house movement discreetly reveals its beauty through a sapphire case-back . A bracelet of meticulously hand-assembled links alternatingly polished and satin-finished completes the experience .
The three new timepieces , perfect for daily wear , answer the desires of a new generation of game changers .
The Game Changers of Piaget
The Piaget Polo S is a watch that – by day or by night , at work or at play – speaks to and for a new generation . It was to celebrate this new generation of Game Changers that Piaget chose a select number of men who are in their daily lives , artists , sportsmen , musicians and who excel in their field , to wear the Piaget Polo S and to be a Friend of the Maison for their country .
Just like Piaget ’ s International Brand Ambassador for watches Ryan Reynolds , they have each proved in their life and through their careers that they truly embody this unique watch .
Timepieces for men ... and more
In a year in which Piaget has introduced exceptional new Piaget Polo S and Altiplano watches , it further enriches its offer with a Possession bracelet for men . This versatile creation is designed to be worn on its own or paired with a favorite Piaget watch . With the Possession Men ’ s Bracelet , the modern man living a life in constant motion can also live by the motto of the legendary collection : “ Possession : Turn and the world is yours ”.
