PIAGET is honoured to be the official timekeeper at China’s top tier polo tournament once again and will lead Chinese polo team to pursue the sensational victory.
PIAGET and Polo, a majestic sweep of history
Polo can probably be dated back to Chinese Han Dynasty. In 1950s, the British brought it from India to Europe, which was then spread from European palaces to the entire world. Its intricacy and fun fascinate the royal and noble families around the globe, and the polo becomes the most welcomed and favourite sportamong the upper class.
PIAGET and Polo, Unparalleled Dignity
In 1980s, thanks to the fourth generation heir, Mr. Yves G. Piaget’s passion about the polo, he was actively committed to the collaboration in polo sport for joint promotion of this magnificent game. Subsequently, PIAGET sponsored the World Cup Polo Tour for a closer link with polo sport and gained its fame and
prestige.
Until then, PIAGET has been officially connected with polo. In 1979, PIAGET was inspired by the strength and beauty of polo. As a result, a creative watch was forged in real gold surfaced with chain belt: PIAGET Polo collection.
Cases and bands are delicately crafted together on PIAGET Polo wristwatch, interlaced with gloss and matte.
Its unique design enables it to stand out among the finest watches. PIAGET’s pursuit of excellence is well defined while a brand new chic watch wearing trend is also well represented — stylish and elegant, as well as incredibly amazing. Thereafter, a whole new chapter of PIAGET has unfolded.
In US, PIAGET has not only sponsored USPA (United State Polo Association) PIAGET Silver Cup, the highest level of polo event in US, but also become the title sponsor and official timekeeper of the centuryold Santa Barbara Polo Club this year. Prince William and Princess Kate were also invited to attend the foundation’s polo activity where Prince William, Prince Harry, PIAGET brand ambassador and first-rate polo player, Nic Roldan, and Melissa Ganzi took up the opportunity to compete in the game. In addition, PIAGET is in great support of promoting polo throughout China. As Chinese elites are improving their life quality, polo as an elegant international sport, has started to get engaged in the social and entertainment life for leaders from all walks of life. With PIAGET’s enormous contributions, it is believed that polo sport will be well advocated with its charisma and eminence.
