The Spirit of the "21st Century" Collection
Launched in 1969, Piaget’s "21st Century" collection, comprising cuff watches and sautoirs, redefined watchmaking possibilities. These were not merely watches, but wearable works of art. They fused Piaget’s heritage of gold craftsmanship, ornamental stones, and bold design, revolutionizing the landscape of watchmaking and transforming the watch into a playful expression of time.
Throughout the 1970s, Valentin Piaget worked closely with insightful designers such as Jean-Claude Gatte, channeling this inherent power into artistic expression. Piaget crafted unique, exceptional pieces for discerning clients who valued this spirit, joyful creativity, and daring. The watches were meant not just to be seen, but to be felt, with their shapes, colors, and textures forming an emotional bond with the wearer. These Swinging Sautoirs perfectly embodied Piaget’s free spirit, infused with the energy and optimism of the 1970s. Time elegantly flowed as movement on dials of ornamental stones suspended from dazzling gold chains that draped, swirled, and danced with every gesture. Flowing gold chains, ornamental stone dials, and a tactile focus. The Swinging Sautoir became Piaget's signature: a masterful feat inspiring artistry.
With the same spirit, Piaget’s artisans explored new forms over the decade. In 1974, they created the "Kimono" pocket watch, carved from malachite, characterized by its soft, asymmetrical shape. This smooth, organic pebble fit naturally in the hand, expressing Piaget's organic yet forward-thinking design language with an emphasis on tactility. Piaget continued to explore other forms and expressions, such as coins, ingots, and envelopes, transforming everyday motifs into precious creations.
A New Generation of Swinging Sautoirs
Today, Piaget channels this same creative energy into a modern collection of Swinging Sautoirs for Watches and Wonders 2026. Sculpted seamlessly from three ornamental stones – tiger's eye, verdite, and pietersite – these creations are named the "Swinging Pebbles." Each pendant watch is carved from a single stone, delicately hollowed to house a self-winding movement, then closed to form a smooth, pebble-like case. Suspended from supple, twisted gold chains, each pendant is a tribute to Piaget's expertise in goldsmithing and chain-making for everyday wear. Reinterpreted with a contemporary sensibility, these new Swinging Sautoirs express Piaget's world of artistry and movement in a refined form. They symbolize the continuation of Piaget’s tradition of innovation: daring, tactile, and unconventionally fun.

Artistry-Inspiring Mastery
For Piaget, time has always been more than a measurement; it is movement, rhythm, and dance. The Swinging Pebbles re-embody this philosophy: watches that celebrate form, craftsmanship, and freedom. The harmony of gold, ornamental stones, and timekeeping reflects Piaget’s exceptional mastery in each respective domain.
Jewelry, cuffs, and sautoirs clearly express Piaget’s distinctive spirit: bold yet refined, playful yet precise. Always unique. Always unexpected. The new pebble-shaped Swinging Sautoirs imbue this spirit into contemporary timepieces.
