Piaget is among the most recognized luxury watch and jewelry brands in the world. Scott Kerr is joined by Jean-Bernard Forot, head of patrimony at Piaget, to discuss how the 150-year-old Swiss company evolved from being a movement manufacturer for established watch brands into a renowned luxury watchmaker and jeweler. Jean-Bernard also talks about his role as gatekeeper to Piaget's archives and how new collections are brought to life, celebrating 150 years with a record-setting ultra-thin tourbillon watch, honoring Piaget's enduring friendship with Andy Warhol by re-releasing his favorite timepiece, and how the jeweled Polo watch became a tangible emblem of luxe elegance in the 1980s. Plus: The launch of 'Piaget Society' magazine
