Why do we love Piaget?
Piaget is a renowned luxury brand, best known for its opulent watches and jewellery. The brand's collections often feature watches encrusted with diamonds and precious stones. The level of refinement and elegance that Piaget offers comes at a premium price, but its reputation as a manufacturer with a history dating back to 1874, its Swiss precision, in-house movements and excellent marketing campaigns justify the cost. While purchasing a Piaget watch can be considered a sound investment, some may prefer to explore alternatives first. That’s why our picks include both luxury and fashion watches. Here are some alternatives to Piaget timepieces that are worth taking a look at.
Piaget Polo and the curved watch case
The Piaget Polo collection of luxury steel watches stands out for its unconventional shape. The watches feature a curved case, which gives them a dynamic and sporty appearance. Now you understand the inspiration behind the collection's name. Piaget Polo luxury watches have been created since 1979 and their design has served as inspiration for other brands, including D1 Milano. The D1 Milano Skeleton Silver SKBJ10 men’s watch shares similarities with Piaget Polo timepieces as it features a curved bezel, bracelet of similar aesthetics, exposed movement and strong steel construction. What sets them apart is that the Piaget Polo watch has a more streamlined shape compared to the D1 Milano model, whose design can be described as austere.
The D1 Milano Ultra Thin Marble Rose UTBL14 women’s watch showcases the brand's signature embellishments, with a combination of warm colours and dainty crystal indices. These subtle details make it a great alternative option to a traditional Piaget watch.
The Herbelin Equinoxe 17499/PR29GR watch offers a more delicate option for women, perfect for those who prefer subtle accessories. The French brand uses Swiss components similar to those used in Piaget watches. Just like jewellery, the Herbelin timepiece stands out for elegance and class. The watch features a curved case and lugs as well as an ultra-thin design, measuring just 5.80 mm and 8.80 mm. These qualities make it look very similar to Piaget Polo timepieces. The Herbelin watch is also adorned with embellishments such as mother-of-pearl, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate understated luxury.
The opulence of Piaget Possession embellishments versus fashion watches
The Piaget Possession collection is characterised by its sparkling diamonds encircling the dial and vibrant colours. The line seamlessly blends the worlds of watchmaking and jewellery with its rotating bezel mechanism that keeps the ornaments in motion. Emporio Armani women's watches, specifically the models with references AR11357 and AR11434, share similarities in design with the Piaget Possession collection. Although they lack a rotating bezel, they feature bold-edged cases. They are also adorned with a mother-of-pearl dial and crystals on the bezel and indices. The dark blue model is particularly similar to the Piaget Possession as it features circular indices. When comparing Emporio Armani with Piaget, one cannot help but notice the straps in bold colours and similar proportions, with a case diameter of about 30 mm and thickness of about 7.5 mm.
Piaget Altiplano inspiration for fans of the Slim version
The Piaget Altiplano collection is synonymous with pure elegance emphasised by the use of sophisticated lines in the design. Piaget Altiplano are timeless classic watches with minimalist hands. When looking for alternatives, the entire Junghans collection comes to mind, which draws on the Bauhaus style. In contrast to Piaget timepieces, Junghans watches represent modern minimalism. The overall design, however, is more or less the same. When looking for ultra-thin cases, it is worth considering the Doxa Slim Line collection and the Doxa 105.10.021.01 watch. The model’s case is only 6.00 mm thick, just like the case of the Piaget timepiece. The accessories are perfect to wear under a shirt cuff. Their simple designs work well with formal outfits. Both Piaget and Doxa are Swiss Made and have a long history of quality craftsmanship.
Another great alternative is the Certina Heritage Priska Gold 18K men's watch. It can boast the same level of prestige like the Piaget accessories. As the name says, the model is made of 18K gold (just as Piaget timepieces). The ultra-thin case is just 5.00 mm and is finished with sharp-edged lugs. The elegance of the strap is highlighted by specific texture. Certina will be a very good choice for anyone who values ultra-high quality and premium watches.
Another luxury collection of the Piaget brand is called Altiplano Moonphase. The series includes timepieces with a moon phase indicator embellished with jewellery. They are definitely more extravagant than classic despite having the same design (square lugs, thin case, simple hands and stick indices). The alternative is a richly embellished fashion women’s watch – Fossil Jacqueline Moonphase ES5244. Both the Fossil and Piaget watches share the same guilloche dial made of mother-of-pearl, a moon phase indicator in the sub-dial above 6 o'clock and crystals surrounding the entire bezel. The case is equally slim, i.e. it measures only 8.00 mm.
