Piaget's Sixtie is inspired by the past, reinterpreted for today's woman
Swiss watchmaker and jewelry maison Piaget hosted an exclusive event in Seoul's Hannam-dong to celebrate the launch of its latest jewellery watch, Sixtie. In attendance are Piaget's Global Ambassador South Korean actress Gianna Jun, alongside actresses Park Gyu-young, Kim So-hyun and model Irene, who lent further glamour to the celebration. The Sixtie marks Piaget's first newly designed jewellery watch in 13 years and stands out with its iconic trapeze-shaped design. Options for those who love a pop of colour on their wrists. Embodying the maison's pioneering spirit as a true innovator in both watchmaking and jewellery, the Sixtie is a timeless creation that seamlessly bridges both worlds, encapsulating Piaget's enduring artistry. As Yves Piaget, the fourth-generation heir, once expressed, 'A Piaget watch is first and foremost a piece of jewellery.' South Korean model Irene. Inspired by the bold creativity of the 21st Century Collection, the new Sixtie perpetuates Piaget's stylistic signature – the Play of Shapes – and faithfully carries forward Yves's visionary philosophy. It is the perfect statement for the woman who embraces both timeless elegance and bold self-expression. More than just a timepiece, the unique design of the stunning jewellery exudes effortless grace, regardless of whether it is worn for a special occasion or as everyday wear. Piaget's jewellery timepiece is a work of art. The supple bracelet that drapes beautifully over the wrist harks to the legacy of Piaget's 1960s designs, reinterpreted for the modern woman. The Sixtie measures 29mm x 25.3mm and is only 6.5mm thick, thanks to both the slim quartz movement inside and Piaget's expertise in ultra-thin watchmaking. Kim spotted at the launch. The case geometry itself is pure art, reflected by the soft rounded corners, delicate asymmetry and the play of brushed and polished surfaces. The collection combines geometric purity in its design using a combination of precious metals and gems, resulting in an exquisitely crafted trapeze- shaped watch.
