Aiming for absolute precision, Georges-Édouard Piaget began crafting high-end clocks and pocket watches in 1874. In 1911, under the new direction of his son Timothée Piaget, the firm became dedicated to producing wristwatches, eventually establishing their trademark in 1943. The present watch is one of the early examples fitted with their well known ultra thin movement.
