Piaget Introduces New Polo Minute Repeater
The Piaget Polo Minute Repeater reintroduces the chiming mechanism in a modern sport‑chic collection, featuring a 48 mm white gold case with a rhodium finish and a height of 9.3 mm. Its open‑worked, hand‑guilloché dial showcases blue PVD accents, a sapphire ring inscribed “La Côte‑aux‑Fées,” and a visible minute‑repeater regulator, while the slide at 9 o’clock activates the chiming function. Powered by the ultra‑thin calibre 1290P, a self‑winding movement with 430 components, a platinum micro‑rotor, and a 40‑hour power reserve, the watch delivers a sound intensity of 64 dB, chiming hours at G‑sharp and minutes at A‑sharp. A high‑jewellery version offers a bezel set with baguette‑cut blue sapphires and diamonds, maintaining the same open‑worked dial and showcasing the movement in full view. The piece is supplied with a blue embossed calfskin strap and an additional alligator strap, and it is released as a numbered edition of five pieces for the year, with pricing available upon request.
Buying Time Analysis: The story highlights Piaget’s breakthrough in ultra‑thin minute‑repeater technology, combining cutting‑edge engineering with exquisite craftsmanship in a highly limited, numbered edition, underscoring the brand’s heritage and its push forward in haute‑horlogerie.
