ROAR INTO THE CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH A PIAGET

Piaget has always treasured Chinese culture . For 10 years now the maison has released a unique limited-edition timepiece for the Chinese New Year featuring the year ’ s zodiac animal in grand feu enamel .
A LIMITED-EDITION CHINESE ZODIAC TIMEPIECE FOR THE YEAR OF TIGER
This Chinese New Year marks the year of the tiger , the king of the jungle in Chinese culture . The tiger is associated with power , dignity , and fortune . Like the tiger , people born under this zodiac sign are often considered to be ambitious , self-confident , courageous , powerful , noble , wealthy , smart , magisterial , and have an acute sense of justice . Even though they are authoritative , they have a cute and charming side when you know them well .
Piaget joins the Chinese New Year festivities this year with an Altiplano timepiece featuring a fearless tiger in cloisonné grand feu enamel . Meticulously crafted by master-enameller Anita Porchet , this limited edition of 38 timepieces depicts the tiger in all its splendour , roaring across the dial in all its majesty .
