SIHH 2010 saw the Piaget latest timepiece – the Piaget Polo Tourbillon Relatif Chronograph. The watch is a limited edition of 1 piece only.
Piaget Polo Tourbillon Relatif Chronograph fills up the Piaget Limelight Jazz Party series, presenting watches and jewelry in different rhythms, like the cold, warm and wild rhythms displaying jazz’s music worldwide.
Jazz Party Series is a new Piaget’s collection created in 2010. In such an extravagant manner, the Piaget Polo Tourbillon Relatif Chronograph pays tribute to the time-honored jazz music. The melody of an improvisation from the lazy blues coming from the new Piaget Polo Tourbillon Relatif expresses Piaget’s unique artistic thought with no doubt.
But Piaget’s jazz gets complicated. Hours, indicated by a central disc, became musical notes. The black enamel dial was fashioned like an old vinyl record, while the F-clef was perfect in its role of the figure 9.
The white-gold case in black fits a jazz player on the caseback while musical instruments are spaces on the sides. A manually wound movement of Calibre 608P conducts an orchestra: piano, horn, cello, drums and saxophone, with the help of tourbillon that sets the pace with the regularity of a metronome. The tourbillon carriage at the tip of the minutes hand, seems to be in free flight, as if disconnected from the movement that drives it.
