Stone dial watches are everywhere right now. Every brand has one. Most brands are simply bolting stone onto an existing design and calling it a day. Piaget, however, has built its designs around ornamental stones for over six decades. At Watches and Wonders 2026, Piaget arrived not as a brand chasing a trend, but as its originator, reminding the room why it owns the conversation. Perhaps the headline act? The Swinging Pebble — each case carved from a single slice of ornamental stone (tiger's eye, verdite, or pietersite), hollowed to house a Manufacture movement, and sealed into an organic pebble form that hangs from a twisted gold chain. No two dials will ever look exactly alike. Then there's the Polo 79 in sodalite — the first stone dial entry into the revived Polo 79 lineup, pairing deep blue swirling stone with 18k white gold and the Polo's signature fluid gadroons. The case remains a beautifully restrained 38mm x 7.45mm, powered by the ultra-thin in-house 1200P1. For those who want complication with their stone, the Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin gets an onyx dial for 2026 — its deep black making the perpetual calendar's indications (day, date, month, leap year, moonphase) crisper and more legible than ever. At 8.65mm thick for a perpetual calendar, it is impressively thin for the complication. The Piaget Andy Warhol — officially carrying that name now — arrives in two rose gold executions: a blue quartz variant and a bull's eye dial, the latter a heat-treated tiger's eye whose deep red-brown hue is a masterstroke of material pairing against rose gold. Finally, a High-Jewellery Sixtie in Yves Piaget's beloved opal, dressed in the iconic Décor Palace engraving. Red carpet-ready, without question. The lesson from Piaget this year isn't just about stone. It's about what decades of accumulated mastery actually looks like — and what separates building a watch around a material from simply forcing one into the mix. ------------------------------- https://www.piaget.com/ ------------------------------- 00:00 Intro 00:31 Piaget Swinging Pebble 01:46 Piaget Polo 79 Sodalite 04:43 Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Onyx 06:14 Piaget Andy Warhol Bullseye & Blue Quartz 07:31 Piaget Sixtie Opal High-Jewellery 07:57 Final thoughts ------------------------------- Read more articles: https://timeandtidewatches.com Shop: https://shop.timeandtidewatches.com ------------------------------- MB01OTIXZLPJ5VH INSTAGRAM @timetidewatches TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/search?q=timeandtidewatches T+T Shop Instagram https://www.instagram.com/timetideshop/
