Watch Of The Year 2008
Piaget Doubly Feted

At the celebrated autumn gathering organised by Montres Passion, Piaget received two awards: Watch of the Year and Ladies’ Watch of the Year.

The setting was the sumptuous vineyard of the Choully estate near Geneva, where on 28 October the magazine Montres Passion invited around 500 guests for its Watch of the Year awards ceremony. Victorious on two counts on the night, Piaget won the supreme title for its Altiplano with offset small-seconds (public prize: 15,400 francs).
