HISTORY
Since the Beginning… 1874 - Georges Édouard Piaget started making watches at La
Côte-aux-Fées village in Switzerland. In 1957, Piaget introduced the Calibre 9P, the first ultra-thin
(2 mm), hand-wound watch. After coin watches, ring watches, brooch watches and cufflink
watches, Piaget created their first pieces of jewellery The luxury Vendôme group, now Richemont, purchased the
Piaget manufacture in 1988 It is member of the “Council for Responsible Jewellery
Practices” & the “Kimberley Process Certification Scheme”, which guarantees that diamonds do not originate from an area of conflict
In 2000, the jury of Montres Passion awarded the prize of “Watch of the Year” to the Emperador model
In 2005, Piaget created their Best Jeweller Prize by Certificat Fédéral de Capacité
In 2006 the Limelight Party watch was also elected “Most beautiful watch of 2006” by the magazine Vogue
The Emperador model received the prize of Men’s Watch of the Year 2007
The Limelight Party Secret watch was named “Watch of the Year 2007” in the Ladies’ Watch category

PRICING
All Prices are on Request ! To give a rough estimate of the price of Piaget watches
or jewelry:
Piaget`s steel models of AP’s iconic line costs $25,600 on rubber straps and $26,000 on horn back alligator straps
Its rose-gold casing costs at $40,700 on the strap and $69,200 on the bracelet
The pricing is naturally high end and its consumer base is the premium segment in the market.
Piaget enjoys a loyal clientele, including the sheiks of Arab, Hollywood stars like Jessica Alba, Melody Gardot, Matt Damon etc…
Key Strategies by Piaget Currently have 500 retailers, since the brand believes in
quality rather than quantity Heavy investment on innovation in manufacturing designs
and recruiting designers rather than investing on Marketing Key retail suppliers to Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea & Milan Investment in expansion at its manufacturing base –
Switzerland and establishment of new factory in Geneva Continue designing elegant timepieces instead of making big
watches which is the trend lately Improve on its online & social media presence which is
currently undertaken by Digital Luxury Group
Potential Factors for Piaget in Retail
Profits at Swiss luxury goods group Richemont under which Piaget is headed increased 43% last year
Jewellery sales soaring by 32% and watches by 31% Selective boutique openings will be focused in growth markets
and in tourist destinations around the world Dubai is the main focus, for the firm in the region, mainly
because it can target the high net worth locals buyers and the Asian buyers
Indians are coming in Dubai, Russians, Eastern Europeans and obviously a lot of Chinese which are again the target market
These are potential factors for the brand
