According to the original manuscripts of Georges Edouard Piaget, it was in the tiny La Cote aux Fees, an unassuming village in 1874, that the history of the House of Piaget began. As a manufacturer of fine Swiss movements, Piaget began producing movements for many other prestigious watch companies. The Piaget name has become synonymous with ultra-thin mechanical movements, most recently releasing the world premier ultra thin Tourbillon movement which was developed entirely in-house. Piaget watches remain the finest example of haute horologerie and haute joaillerie.
