2001 - 2003 A New Millennium

In 2001 Piaget opened its new Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie on the outskirts of Geneva. This high-performance workspace gathered together masters of more than forty different professions in watch making and jewelry, complementing the activity of the workshops at La Côte-aux-Fées. Their integration enabled Piaget to respond even faster to customers’ demands. Launched in 2001, the new Piaget Polo gave a new, youthful thrust to the watch, an emblem of the 1970s which had stood the test of time with ease. In 2002 came Magic Reflections, a jewelry collection conceived on the theme of the garden. The following year, jewelry watches added their lustre to the Limelight collection, which embodies the glamour of Piaget. Master watchmakers, meanwhile, continued to develop new watch movements. A new peak was reached in 2002, with the presentation of the Calibre 600P: just 3.5 millimeters thick, it was the thinnest tourbillon movement in the world.
