ANITA PORCHET , MASTER ENAMELLER
Anita Porchet has been collaborating with Piaget since 2006 , and is renowned for her mastery of all the enamelling techniques . The cloisonné technique used for this Altiplano watch is a 4000-year-old decorative art . It starts with a transfer of the design onto the surface of the dial using gold ribbons to create miniature partitions , or cloisons , in which the different enamel pigments are placed . The dial is then fired in the kiln multiple times at temperatures between 820 º C and 850 º C . Once finished , the dial is varnished , capturing the image forever .
