How to…Wear your Watch Like a Fashion Editor
Piaget's new 'Sixtie' watch rides against traditional watch silhouettes, riffing on feminine codes from the 1960s to offer new curves and contours In landscapes dominated by the usual, circular suspects – and the occasional octagonal flex – Piaget's new 'Sixtie' landed at Watches & Wonders this year with a bang. It wasn't a rectangle. It wasn't a square. It wasn't an oval. In fact, the Sixtie's silhouette was so radical that it took watch editors a moment to work out what it actually is; the cogs turning as we mentally harked back to junior school shape-sorting blocks. A trapezoid?! Close enough. Like a breath of fresh, fashion-infused air, the Sixtie tells a story of late-'60s glamour, and Piaget's fearlessness in blurring the line between horology and high fashion. For many maisons, the 1960s and '70s were the golden age of contemporary watch design, it was the era that gave birth to the first Daytona, Carrera, Royal Oak and Nautilus – virtually all the big hitters that still reign supreme as the most covetable timepieces to date. Watches were evolving from functional objects into design statements, and the wider world of style and art were beginning to extend their infl uence – it was in the 1960s that Andy Warhol became a notable Piaget collector and tastemaker. It is the asymmetry, bold textures and unusual silhouettes of this era that have informed the Sixtie, which feels unapologetically avant-garde. Its curved contours actually come straight from the Piaget archive, inspired by the 21st Century Collection from 1969, which ushered in a new design DNA for the house, as it looked to the runways of Paris Fashion Week for inspiration for the first time. Softened edges and polished hardstones became part of the Piaget vocabulary, and the Sixtie interprets these influences with retro flair – the Sixtie is available with a bold turquoise dial, as well as a classic mother-of-pearl watch face, and we expect many more colourful iterations to come. How to wear the Sixtie? At just 6.5mm thick, it's thinner than most vintage bangles and slips under a silk cuff like a secret – let it peep from Acne's black dress with blousy sleeves, which can be dressed up or down with heeled sandals by Khaite or cowboy boots by Ganni. While its rose gold gleam gives contemporary classicism, the Sixtie's off -kilter character requires a little extra pizzazz to make it feel at home, so pick a bold accent colour to liven up your look. We suggest lime – an uplifting jolt of jazziness for summer black, channelled by Pucci sunglasses and Chanel's mint and lime tweed bag. If you're an incurable magpie, you might be tempted to load diamonds alongside the Sixtie, but we think it looks chicer when sitting solo against a bare skin – simply stack the other wrist with bangles to play to its vintage glamour, such as Tom Ford's ready-made duo, and add echoes of summer upon the ears with Jacquemus' sunflower earrings. The Sixtie is such a chameleon that it can just as easily be worn shoreside as it can be in the city – pair it with a print bikini and beaded cap to escape to the coast, and let loose your inner hippie.

Piaget Drops Its New Sixtie Jewellery Watch Collection & It's A Thing Of Bougie!
Piaget unveils its latest jewellery watch collection, Sixtie, at Watches and Wonders 2025. Designed with a distinctive trapeze-shaped case, the Sixtie collection pays homage to the Maison's design heritage while offering a modern take on feminine elegance. The collection draws inspiration from the revolutionary 21st Century Collection first revealed in 1969. It was a time when Piaget began blurring the lines between watchmaking and high jewellery. Designer Jean-Claude Gueit led this creative shift by introducing sculptural watches that were as much about form as function. The trapeze shape, once a symbol of Piaget's avant-garde spirit, is reintroduced in Sixtie as a contemporary icon. Design Inspired By A Defining Era The late 1960s was a turning point in watch design. With bold shapes, unexpected materials and a new sense of style, Piaget redefined what a watch could be. The trapeze silhouette became part of the Maison's creative language, mirroring the graphic lines and modernity seen in fashion at the time. Sixtie builds on that legacy. It retains the spirit of freedom and innovation that shaped the originals, while introducing refined proportions and contemporary detailing suited for today's wearer. A Jewellery Watch With Character Every Sixtie model features a slim, elegant case measuring 29 by 25.3mm with a thickness of 6.5mm. The solar satin-brushed dial is finished in white, complemented by baton hands, Roman numerals, and golden hour markers. The watch is powered by Piaget's Manufacture 57P quartz movement. The bracelet, crafted with interlaced trapeze-shaped links, combines fluidity and structure for a graceful fit that sits lightly on the wrist and catches the light with ease. Select models are set with 51 brilliant-cut diamonds for a refined touch of sparkle, while all models are water-resistant up to 5 ATM and secured with a folding clasp and push-button closure. G0A50300 Stainless steel case and bracelet set with 51 diamonds G0A50301 Two-tone design with stainless steel and 18K pink gold G0A50302 Full 18K pink gold G0A50304 Full 18K pink gold set with 51 diamonds A Watch That Moves Like Jewellery For Piaget, a watch is more than a timekeeping instrument. It is a piece of art and an expression of personal style. Sixtie captures this philosophy by transforming the everyday watch into an elegant piece of jewellery. It offers a fresh take on femininity with its fluid lines, asymmetrical curves and radiant finishes. Whether worn alone or styled with other pieces, Sixtie stands out as an object of beauty and craftsmanship. It reflects a woman's individuality while echoing the Maison's creative legacy. The Sixtie Campaign To launch the collection, Piaget has partnered with Thai actors Freen Sarocha and Apo Nattawin. Both talents are featured wearing Sixtie watches along with pieces from the Possession collection, showcasing how Piaget continues to blend jewellery and watchmaking with effortless elegance.

Power of presence
THE role of brand ambassadors has never been more pivotal in fashion, beauty, wellness and lifestyle. No longer just pretty faces in glossy campaigns, today's ambassadors bring something deeper to the table, which is authenticity and a personal story that aligns with the ethos of the brands they represent. These individuals become a living embodiment of brand values. As global markets become more interconnected and consumers increasingly demand transparency and relatability, the ambassadorship model continues to evolve and leaning into substance just as much as style. The latest cohort of names stepping into these roles illustrates this shift perfectly. Piaget – Gianna Jun Maison Piaget recently announced South Korean actress Gianna Jun as its new Global Ambassador, placing her among the glittering names of the Piaget Society, both past and present. With a heritage steeped in bold design and artistic expression, Piaget has long courted cultural icons from Andy Warhol to Elizabeth Taylor. Jun now joins this legacy, reflecting the Maison's modern elegance and daring design. Her appointment marks not only a tribute to timeless beauty, but also a spark of creative energy for a new generation of jewellery watch lovers. Prada – Lee Gawon As one of fashion's most revered names, Prada continues to set the tone for minimalist luxury and intellectual style. With roots in Milanese craftsmanship and a forward-thinking approach to design, the brand has long captured the attention of artistes and icons alike. This year, Prada welcomes Lee Gawon, a breakout member of rising K-pop group Meovv as its newest brand ambassador. Since debuting in late 2024 with the single Meow, Gawon has stood out for her confidence and boldness, on stage and on the red carpet. Her attendance at the Prada Fall/Winter 2025 show in Milan earlier this year cemented her place as a fashion force. Just months into her career, Gawon is already defining her own path, and Prada is ready to walk it with her. Miu Miu – Ella Gross Often seen as Prada's younger, rebellious sister, Miu Miu is a brand that celebrates individuality, femininity and an offbeat charm. It is only fitting that Ella Gross, also from Meovv, is now part of its ambassador family. Known for her striking visuals and subtle yet powerful presence, Gross's journey with Miu Miu began in Paris during the Fall/Winter 2025 show. Since then, her evolving style and flair for the unconventional have made her an ideal face for the brand which is instinctive and just a little bit unexpected. 1win – Canelo Alvarez 1win, a global sports betting and entertainment platform, has taken its commitment to excellence to the ring by signing boxing titan Canelo Alvarez as its newest global partner. This is a long-term collaboration grounded in shared values of performance and passion. As Alvarez prepares to face William Scull for the IBF title, he carries not only the weight of three existing championship belts (WBA, WBC, WBO), but also the backing of a brand that believes in strategy and victory. In his own words: 'Success takes focus, strategy and passion and 1win brings that same winning energy.' Jawara is a celebrity hair stylist. Hair Rituel by Sisley – Jawara When craftsmanship meets creativity, the results are often extraordinary. Hair Rituel by Sisley has announced a powerful new partnership with celebrity hairstylist Jawara, whose artistic fingerprint is found on runway looks and editorial shoots the world over. From humble beginnings in Brooklyn to styling icons scuh as Beyonce, Rihanna and Dua Lipa, Jawara has become a leading force in beauty. Now, as International Brand Ambassador, he brings his technique and vision to Sisley's high-performance haircare range by bridging artistry with science to elevate everyday rituals. Cartier – Gemma Chan A long-time friend of the brand, Gemma Chan is now a Cartier Ambassador. Known for her commanding performances in Humans, Crazy Rich Asians and more recently The Actor, Chan brings elegance and modernity to every project she touches. Her ambassadorship with Cartier also reflects her personal dedication to storytelling, on-screen and behind the scenes. Currently developing a biopic on Anna May Wong and executive producing various film and TV projects, she is a natural fit for a Maison that values cultural depth. Goh is a Malaysian badminton player. Life-Space Malaysia – Goh Sze Fei Wellness is expanding beyond traditional boundaries and Life-Space, Australia's probiotic brand, is tapping into the power of athleticism by naming Malaysian badminton player Goh Sze Fei as its newest ambassador. This partnership underscores the growing awareness of gut health's role in physical performance. With a training regimen built on discipline and balance, Goh exemplifies the Life-Space ethos. As he continues to soar on court, he now carries a new mission off it which is to champion gut health as the foundation for vitality and better living.

Piaget Drops Sunlight Panorama Jewellery Collection: A Shining Tribute To Radiance
The sun don't shine on Piaget, watch aficionados! The luxury watch and jewellery brand is turning up the brilliance with the unveiling of Sunlight Panorama, the latest evolution of its Sunlight collection, first introduced in 2018. Known for its radiant spirit and bold creativity, the new designs combine dazzling gemstones, luminous gold, and daring three-dimensional forms – a celebration of movement, contrast, and colour. At the heart of Sunlight Panorama is a love letter to natural light, reinterpreted with a palette inspired by La Côte d'Azur's vivid coastlines. Expect an explosion of blues and greens, with chrysoprase and turquoise stones dancing among sparkling diamonds, all brought to life through Piaget's signature goldsmithing artistry. These pieces are not just beautiful – they tell a story. Drawing from Piaget's rich heritage in the Swiss Jura, where the Maison was founded in 1874, the collection reflects a constant evolution of savoir-faire. From ultra-thin watchmaking to bold High Jewellery, Piaget has always embraced reinvention. The Sunlight Panorama collection continues this legacy with opulent cuffs, double rings, and daily-wear pieces that reimagine luxury for the modern muse. A standout feature is the intricate use of the 'Décor Palace' engraving technique, where gold is hand-etched into shimmering textures, enhancing the play of light across each surface. The result? Jewellery that radiates movement, emotion, and extravagance – all at once. Whether it's the timeless elegance of rose gold with diamonds or the joyful splash of turquoise, Piaget Sunlight Panorama proves once again that everyday luxury can still be bold, brilliant, and full of life.
