In a festive journey to the heart of the night, the new Limelight collection of watches and jewelry reflects aesthetic world of two most fascinating cities of the world — Paris and New-York.

Paris and New-York are two cities, two states of mind… and one collection.

The monuments of these two cities, being real architectural icons, contain easily recognizable and highly stylized motifs. Besides, these two fashion capitals demonstrate recognizable at the first sight styles that are indisputably urban and undoubtedly feminine. The cities if Paris and New-York gave a powerful impetus to the fantasy of the creative team and masters of Piaget, which is reflected in both watches and jewelry articles of the brand.

Paris, the city of lights

Creators of Piaget articles got their inspiration from the two main landmarks of the city of love — the Eiffel Tower and the Grande Roue (observation wheel) in the Concord Square.

The slim glowing structure of the historical monument that has been the universal emblem of the city since 1889, induced the creation of watches and jewelry articles encrusted with diamonds. Emphasizing the elegant dйcolletй of a dazzlingly beautiful woman, the necklace repeats the shape of arches of the most beautiful tower of the world. A wrist watch inlaid with diamonds also reminds of the amazing architectural masterpiece.

At the same time the funny and fascinating Observation wheel gives an occasion for amusing variations. Puzzle watches and mobile decorations in the form of small baskets with diamonds hanging from a rotating platform are vivid reminders of its famous cabins.

Paris, haute couture

Being inspired with sensual and exquisite feminine haute couture style, Piaget designers dare impart «sexual» appearance to their articles, imitating the laces of a corset that are tied and untied with sensual pleasure. In a highly elegant interpretation of wild Paris nights, the necklace with rubies and pink sapphires imitates the untied laces hanging carelessly along the low neck of a dress. In the same charming spirit Piaget presents an amazing wrist watch — the repeated and symbolic object in the history of the brand. This watch, scattered all over with diamonds, literally envelop the wrist in a light admirable corset, exquisitely fixed with a tape with rectangular diamonds, however, the tape may be of colored satin.

Architectural New-York

Piaget company concentrated on the two symbols of American dream: Chrysler building and Liberty statue in New-York.

The spectacular jewelry set comprises a necklace and earrings, with their design remarkably reflecting the illuminated roof of the building in art-deco style with its clear, irresistible graphic lines. The version of this set in a chandelier style with diamonds and blue sapphires courageously accentuates the lines of the roof of the legendary skyscraper and the glitter of lights of different colors against the background of the night sky.

The graphic design of seven rays of the Liberty Statue diadem, symbolizing seven oceans, serves as the motif for pendants, earrings or a watch face. This famous monument, that was opened in 1886 to commemorate the anniversary of the USA independence and was given as present by France, was created by Bartholdi together with Gustave Eiffel, who constructed the metal carcass. When you look at the watch, the case of which is completely covered with diamonds, it seems that these stones are dancing in a violent rhythm of the city that never sleeps.

New-York, fashion

Piaget designers decided to give their imagination an opportunity to travel freely among bows and ribbons, creating an «haute couture» impression with black tourmalines and diamonds in the foreground. So interpreted, these creations of jewelry art make the one’s mind eye see the black and white colors of a classic New-York evening, while the exquisite curves impart reserved elegancy to watches and jewelry. An undoubted sign of haute couture is a bow of black satin with diamonds, behind which in fact a «secret» watch is concealed with a lid scattered with diamonds, which you open carefully to find out how much time has passed.

Black tourmaline is popular again, as well as black spinels, that are treated until they acquire the shape of excellently faceted beads, that glitter as sparkles in a day-time necklace, while the upper part rests freely around the neck and is fixed with a large diamond butterfly, that will create around a femme fatale a halo of fascinating mystery with its bright glimmer.

Among daring and dazzling watches devoted to Paris and New-York there are two Piaget models Polo Tourbillon Relatif, produced in limited edition of three pieces each. They combine the complexity of Piaget 608P flying tourbillon mechanism and exclusive elegance of a strikingly beautiful decoration using engraving and enamel. In the face of the watch devoted to Paris there are twelve streets engraved, radiating from the square, named very appropriately place de l’Йtoile (Place of the Star), while the main sights of the city are depicted on the periphery. In the face of the watch devoted to New-York there are outlines of its twelve highest skyscrapers, and on the edge there are two cityscapes.

Paris and New-York: two extremely powerful urban individualities, two worlds amazing with the power of their aesthetic and architectural energy. Well-known everywhere in the world for their rich past, present and future, their unsurpassed fascinating style and their legendary monuments, these two international capitals of a brilliant night festival are now brilliantly presented by Piaget company in its inimitable collection of wonderful jewelry articles and watches.
