Piaget's move from watchmaking into jewellery design was never a stretch precision and ornament have always shared a workbench at the house.

The clearest proof is the Possession collection, built around rings and bracelets with rotating bands that invite the wearer to fidget with them, a small mechanical pleasure borrowed straight from horology. It's a design that works equally well dressed up or down, which is precisely the point: Piaget has positioned Possession as a piece for a night out or a quiet evening in, rather than an occasion-only purchase.

At its Marina Bay Sands boutique, the line remains one of the more approachable entry points into a house otherwise known for its ultra-thin, high-complication watches.
