Composed of four pieces, the exclusive Piaget Métiers D’art Altiplano Moonphase Are Out Of This World métiers d’art collection takes creativity to new heights.
The four watches are a work of pure beauty and precision, a luxury of intricate details and technicality made to fit onto a 36mm watch. Their dials were brought to life after two years of development. Created by master enameller Anita Porchet, Chinese constellations are represented by small white dots and precious stones on a translucent blue enamel sky.
Each design represents a cardinal point associated with one of the four seasons and elements, which appears at night fall. The Azure Dragon stands for the East and is associated with Spring and wood; the red bird, representing the South, is close to Summer and fire. The white tiger, looking West, is naturally a friend of Autumn and metal, while the black turtle (for the North) is at ease in Winter and water.
Underneath this star-lit night sky, moon rays of graduated diamonds, sapphires and garnets are set on the lower-half of the dial. A true work of art that requires hours of work, and owes its radiance to multiple details sprinkled across the various pieces: a deep, blue-lacquered moon-shaped oscillating weight, a moon window framed with gold ring set and graduated diamonds in a crescent moon shape.
Each masterly creation, showcase Piaget’s creativity and significance of the constellations’ powers and of the Moon’s infinite radiance.
