Piaget

Its that time of the year again – Piaget is supporting the Only Watch charity auction for the 3rd consecutive time. Under the patronage of HSH Prince Albert II, this exceptional event is held biennially during the Monaco Yacht Show. All the proceeds help ...  

The footprint is a little distracting and only looks fine when the entire footprint is visible. Otherwise it'll look like an imperfection on the moonphase IMO. - AT

Anthony, As there is only one watch with the footprint on the lunar surface display, Piaget has made it a good imprint. I wonder if they used a jeweller's miniature boot to do it whilst the gold was bubbling molten? As I like the standard watch anyway, if... 

Instead of the Neil Armstrong story at least make it appropriate for the event: a fundraiser for muscular dystrophy. They could have said the footprint represents the high hope that a cure can be found and young boys burdened with Duchenne muscular dystro... 

mike, Omega is making a brouhaha with their posse of ex-Nasa astronauts and moon-walkers being carted around the world to celebrate the historic 1969 Moon Landing. I guess that as Piaget introduced the big moon display watch this year, it seemed a good id...

Some of us remember 1969 and the One small step for a man............ For that generation, the bootprint on the lunar surface is a must! Regards, MTF

I think the foot print adds that hint of spice, making this XL Coussin's moon phase appear that much more unique...not to mention accurate. =)

I did win this watch and it looks really nice with the footprint. It is an extremely elegant watch and the footprint is clearly visible but does not jump out. It's quite unique....

Welcome to the forum! if only we had a new post with real photos............... MTF
