The House of Piaget has called upon the talents of one of the finest illustrators to set the stage for the creations of the Biennale. Entirely developed and crafted in-house, the new Couture Précieuse collection pays homage to feminine beauty. The House dresses women in watches and jewellery that are as spectacular as they are exceptional, epitomising the veritable secrets of seduction.

Magnificently adorned by beautiful high jewellery creations, women reveal some of their seductive secrets. Graphic, airy and stylised jewellery sets emphasise women’s most appealing qualities. The magic of stones, with diamonds first and foremost, enhanced by rubellites or red and black spinels, cultivate mystery and surprise. This woman is never where one expects her to be…

David Downton, famous fashion illustrator and confidant of the world of Haute Couture, has created eight sketches immortalising some of the models presented by Piaget. His sharp eye and his timeless feel for feminine style – involving the use of gouache, acrylic paint and Indian ink – create splendid showcases for the jewellery sets by the House.

The jewellery sets borrow from the field of corsets and ribbons the art of modelling and accentuating shapes to perfection. Luminous laces cross over each other to suggest the sensuality of a décolleté and then uncross in perfectly flowing style.
