Piaget is returning to color—and charisma—with its latest collaboration alongside The Andy Warhol Foundation. The new Andy Warhol Watch “Collage” is a 50-piece limited edition that channels Warhol’s love of bold shapes, bright palettes, and beautiful objects. Inspired by one of his 1986 Polaroid collages, the watch reimagines Pop Art as wearable joy, filtered through Piaget’s unmistakable flair.

Warhol wasn’t just an icon—he was an obsessive watch collector, owning more than 300 timepieces (including seven Piagets). His favourite, a striking 1973 cushion-shaped model, serves as the creative anchor for this release, revived in a stepped 45mm yellow-gold case that feels just as audacious today as it did during his Studio 54 era.

The dial is pure art-world alchemy: a marquetry mosaic of black onyx, pink opal, green chrysoprase, and yellow serpentine—small stones with big attitude. Powered by Piaget’s in-house 501P1 automatic movement and paired with a green leather strap, the watch is part sculpture, part statement, and entirely conversation-starter.  Art or watch? The Piaget "Collage." Photos courtesy of Piaget. In true Warhol spirit, it blurs the line between art and object, proving that Pop belongs everywhere—even telling the time. Which raises the fundamental question: is this a watch you wear, or a watch you collect? With just 50 available, the answer might be “both.”

In a dazzling tribute to its 150-year legacy, Piaget unveils a horological sculpture that quite literally moves with emotion—the Piaget Mobile. Created in collaboration with French sculptor Alex Palenski, this kinetic High Jewellery piece fuses the precision of watchmaking with the poetry of sculpture, celebrating the Maison's long-standing devotion to craft, form, and play. "The most captivating creations awaken joy through nostalgia, transporting us to simpler times."  That joy becomes motion in this breathtaking Mobile, where balance is achieved not just mechanically, but emotionally—each delicate element calibrated so precisely that a single gram can shift the entire rhythm. At the Mobile's heart is a singular black opal dial, its iridescent depths echoing Yves Piaget's timeless philosophy: "The world according to Piaget is like an opal made of different tastes and sensibilities." Encased in a gold frame engraved with Piaget's iconic Decor Palace pattern, the opal pulses with color and light as the Mobile spins, creating a living tableau of light and shape. Surrounding it are free-form slices of pietersite, verdite, and sodalite—earthly, organic stones that ground the clock while enhancing its dynamic grace. With every slow turn, the Mobile becomes a kind of time-telling mandala, reminding us that Piaget has never confined itself to the wrist alone.  This is the continuation of a Piaget tradition that began in the 1960s, when the Maison began crafting time in unexpected forms—watches as belt buckles, necklaces, cigar cutters, even ingots. Today, Piaget reasserts that same spirit in motion. The Mobile is not merely an object of beauty but a philosophical expression: that time, like art, should never be static. As the Maison has always done—from the ultra-thin Altiplano to the exuberant Piaget Rose—here is time reimagined as kinetic art. "Playfulness often leads to surprises," the brand reminds us, and with this creation, surprise becomes a shimmering, spinning spectacle of wonder.  |
