Piaget Polo Tourbillon Relatif Chronograph All That Jazz and More

When it comes to creativity and innovation, Piaget has always marched to its own singular beat. This tradition is only furthered with the introduction of its remarkable, jazz-inspired Polo Tourbillon Relatif chronograph from the company's new Limelight Jazz Party collection of watches and fine jewellery.

Making its debut at the 2010 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie show earlier this year, this masterful timepiece once again underscores the unbridled inspiration and technological advances that have come to define Piaget watchmaking in the new millennium. Finelycrafted in 18-carat white gold, the watch features a black champlevé grand feu enamel dial--a venerable ornamenting technique seen only in the finest timepieces--fashioned to replicate the grooves on a vinyl record.

Appropriately enough, the hours on the dial are represented by musical notes, with the bass clef artfully tilted to form the number nine. On the case-back, a jazz musician is delicately traced in profile, while the sides feature a small orchestra of classic jazz instruments, with engravings of a drum kit and a trumpet opposite the piano and double bass.

The manually wound movement follows a rhythm set by the Piaget Calibre 608P, with a flying 27 jewel tourbillon that sets the pace not unlike that of a musical metronome, which Piaget observes "delights the eye with the magic of perfect balance." Indeed, the tourbillon carriage spins on its own axis every minute as it hangs from the minute hand, seeming to be in free flight, "as if disconnected from the movement that drives it," according to Piaget.

Typical Piaget hand-craftsmanship and jeweled quality is abundantly apparent throughout the design of the Polo Tourbillon Relatif, from the Côtes de Genève, main plate and three titanium bridges, all circular-grained by hand, to the beveled, hand-drawn carriage. Even the blue-toned screws and folding clasp are made of 18 carat white gold. Other outstanding features of this fusion between moments and music include a 68-hour double barrel power reserve, a black alligator bracelet, and a sapphire crystal.

Given the sheer artistry and painstaking hand-craftsmanship that Piaget has dedicated to the creation of the jazz-inspired Polo Tourbillon Relatif, is it any wonder that this groundbreaking timepiece is only one-of-a-kind? While ownership may well cost a king's ransom, for the wealthy individual/watch enthusiast with the means, the fact that there is only one like it in the world will probably be music to his ears.
