Piaget 'Bamboo' Dress Watch
There’s nothing more classic and appealing than a simple dress watch. Though to be fair, when we say “simple,” we mean “uncomplicated” — not unattractive! The 21st century saw a plethora of such watches hit the market. Generally available on leather straps and featuring two or three hands, these reliable wristwatches kept time during the classiest decades of the past 100 years. However, some were more innovative than others. Take this exquisite piece from Piaget, specialists in ultra-thin watchmaking: this beautiful piece looks to be the brand's interpretation of what a Cartier Tank should have looked like. Housed in a 26mm, yellow gold 'Tank'-style case with textured 'bamboo' finishing and a mineral crystal, this piece features a white 'Roman' dial with matching 'leaf hands', a manual winding movement within, and a brown crocodile strap with a gold-tone pin buckle. Imagine the looks of curiosity — and perhaps envy — that you’ll stir up when rocking this bold Piaget at a cocktail part
