A watch is not just about telling time

In life, we always see some people, whether men or women, wearing an exquisite watch on their wrist. Although mobile phones and computers can now display the time at any time, watch wearers don’t seem to care about this. What they value more is the signal sent by the watch.

This is a kind of low-key luxury, a recognition of one’s own taste, and a love of life. Especially when the watch is matched with jewelry, this charm will be more obvious.

Piaget’s latest Sixtie gilded watch series perfectly explains this. This watch adopts a classic trapezoidal case design, and the surface shines with a charming golden light, which is very eye-catching.

The origin of the name “Sixtie” is a tribute to the most popular trapezoidal case design in the 1960s. We all know that the 1960s was a very special era. At that time, Western society was undergoing a huge change. People began to break the shackles of tradition and pursue individuality and freedom.

Whether in art, fashion or other fields, people who emerged in that era were striving to express their unique opinions, which was also fully reflected in watch design.

At that time, many high-end brands began to try to break the tradition and create various novel watch styles, which were as eye-catching as the Paris fashion shows at that time.

Sixtie series makes stunning debut

Piaget was founded in 1874 and is one of the first brands in the world to focus on making watches. Since 1957, Piaget has insisted on using only precious metals to make watches, and has set up a special gold casting workshop in Geneva. With its superb metalworking skills, Piaget can launch a number of stunning works every year.

The advent of the Sixtie series takes this amazingness to the extreme. At the 2025 “Watches and Miracles” Geneva Haute Horlogerie Exhibition, Piaget brought a variety of novel-shaped watches with the theme of “Diversity of Forms”, including the Sixtie series.

This watch uses 18K gold to make the case, and the surface is inlaid with sparkling diamonds. The entire dial is brilliant and full of luxury. The most special thing is that this watch can be split into two parts to wear, which is very in line with the aesthetics of modern young people.

Some people may say that if the watch is worn separately, what’s the point? But if you wear it with jewelry, it will be completely different.

This is a brand new attempt, a bold design that breaks the rules. In the view of Piaget watch designers, the Sixtie series is not a simple watch, but should be regarded as a fashion accessory that can be paired with jewelry.

The perfect combination of tradition and modernity

At the launch of the new series of Sixtie gold-plated watches, Piaget President and CEO Thierry Stern said: “We have always attached great importance to the shape design of watches. This is not only because we have very superb watchmaking technology, but also because we believe that the shape of the watch determines its soul.”

Because of this, we can see so many refreshing elements in the design of the new series of watches. Behind those novel elements is the brand’s unremitting innovation process over the past 70 years.

Since 1957, Piaget has insisted on using only precious metals to make watches, which was almost an impossible task at the time. Because precious metals are not only costly, but also difficult to cast, many brands simply do not dare to try.

But Piaget did it, and it has since become a benchmark in the industry. At the 2025 “Watches and Miracles” Geneva Advanced Watch and Clock Fair, Piaget with the theme of “Diversity” attracted many visitors, the most popular of which was the Sixtie gilt Yueying watch.

This new Sixtie series watch with a classic trapezoidal case design, symbolizing the integrity of time, not only has a stunning appearance, but also puts great effort into its internal movement.

Conclusion

As a fashion item that not only has practical functions, but can also be matched with jewelry, the Sixtie series of watches undoubtedly adds a lot of color to modern life. It is not only a tribute to past classics, but also a bold exploration of future fashion. What role do you think watches play in life?
