The Making Of Piaget Watches
Up in the mountains of Switzerland watch movements are made. Down in the city of Geneva watches are borne. The contrast between the people who make the inside of watches and the outside of them is a benefit to the industry. You want watchmakers to be focused, hard workers who dedicate their lives to building high performance mechanical machines. On the other hand you want designers to be more cosmopolitan souls with an eye on culture and art.At Piaget this is pretty much the way it is - and for the better. Piaget is an often misunderstood watch brand because of their status as a high-end jewelry maker and connection to elite socialites. It is true, Piaget offers some of the most impressive high-jewelry undertakings of any brand. They also operate an almost full-time custom shop for clients interested in all manners of unique jewelry and watches that will only be owned by them.Piaget's origins aren't based in precious stones or designer wear.

2009 "Out"
We had quite a flurry of activity in July. There have been some changes in a lot of member's collections so I thought I'd start with what's flipped out of my box so far this year. 1991 Rolex DateJust:This one I sort of miss because I liked the size and style, but it was too dressy for casual wear and I prefer watches on straps with suits. I definitely plan on hunting another Rolex Oyster some time soon, probably of the vintage variety (Zephyr or Day/Date)1950 Omega Seamaster bumper:It's getting tough to find these with original dials, but this just wasn't my kind of watch so no matter how nice it is it had to go to somebody who would appreciate it. Besides, I'm more of a 60's collector anyway. 198x Bulova Super Seville:This was a very nice watch in NOS condition. I never wore it, and never had the bracelet sized so why did I let it stay so long?

Hi All,I just subscribed to this forum!& I joined to ask anyone who can help me with my dilemma. Maybe I've just been looking too hard or for too long and now my standards are too high for what I can afford. I'm looking for a watch with these specifics and it hasn't been easy. I'll probably have to create a pros and cons list...1) Swiss (or German) made2) durable (I have an active lifestyle with a todler, baby, & yellow Labrador3) I was hoping for something horologically significant & heirloom worthy. 4) It can be Vintage , NOS, or New. But, I don't want the watch to be so old that my son or I will run into the problem of finding out the parts aren't being made anymore. (I've read about that happening to some people)5) water resistant to at least 50 meters. Preferably able to swim in it. But that's something I can sacrifice. 6) Versatile for dress down or a suit (everyday/only watch)7) Interchangable with a metal band or leather strap. 8) I would Love a display back! The i

Had to trade multiple new/vintage Rolexes, but had my heart set on the new 5170G. Now I'm hooked...
