Once again a fascinating journey. The Piaget Emperador Coussin XL Large Moon Enamel is also my favourite although one small critique over the moonphase sky being pitch black. I do wish they used a little artistic license here and not been so literal. A blue sky perhaps may not have worked given the surrounding blue sea. Still, a beautiful watch encompassing artisanal techniques. 

I hope one day I can see the intricate  Champlevé Enamel case of the Piaget Polo Tourbillon Relatif Champlevé Enamel. Hopefully one of the three pieces can be found in the boutiques here in China. 
Looking forward to Part 9.

Warmest,
Dean

I am glad that this skill and artistry is still maintained. The Silk Road watch is nourishing my innermost aspiration for distant regions and countries, it is simply breathtaking! Thank you for another great excursion into the wonderland of Piaget's watch...

At Piaget, Technique is always at the service of Aesthetique

Today, many brands have jumped on the decorative metiers d'Art wagon but for the last 70+ years since they stamped their own name on the watches, Piaget has always combined watchmaking with art. Regards, MTF
