In 1874, Georges Edouard Piaget setup a small workshop on his family farm in the Jura Mountains, dedicating his life to the development and manufacturing of high-precision mechanical movements. His popularity traveled beyond the mountains and Piaget soon started supplying movements to some prestigious brands in the region.
But it was in 1943, that the manufacture launched a watch under the Piaget brand and has been making ultra-thin timepieces since 1955.
In 1957, the brand introduced the Caliber 9p, a 2mm thick hand-wound movement and in 1960, they launched the world’s thinnest self-winding movement measuring just 2.3mm.

Currently under the Richemont portfolio of brands, Piaget continues this tradition of setting new world records with over twenty in-house ultra-thin movements.
