Steel Cushion
Piaget
Piaget updates its 1970s icon and enters the sub-$10,000 market casual luxury market at the same time with the all-steel Piaget Polo S collection. Its cushion-shaped
dial is placed into a 42mm round case and set within a beautifully brushed bezel.
Three of the five models are three-hand editions while two Piaget Polo S Chronograph models feature an automatic chronograph movement. The three-hand Piaget
Polo S Automatic is equipped with the 1110P movement, based on Piaget’s own 800P
caliber, while the Piaget Polo S Chronograph features an 1160P movement, derived
from the column-wheel, vertical-clutch 880P chronograph. Both of these movements
have been developed specially for the Piaget Polo S and each retains a thin profile
(the chronograph version is only 11.2 mm thick.) A recent testing of the brushed
and polished steel link bracelet revealed a very high quality, comfortable design---no
surprise for this brand. The Piaget Polo S is available with a blue, silvered or slategray dial, while the Piaget Polo S Chronograph is available with a silvered or blue dial.
Prices: $9,350 (three-hand) and $12,400 (chronograph.)
