Piaget is all set to redefine luxurious timepieces with its latest watch concept for 2009. Known as the Limelight Twice, it is a truly unique watch with an asymmetrical design. The exceptional watch is said to be endowed with a dual nature that is capable of showing itself demure or extrovert according to one's mood. Two separate Piaget 56P quartz movements drive each of the faces of the watch, thus permitting them to display two different time zones. A beauty, other technical features include a new integration mode for the case and bracelet, and a hidden time-setting push-button. A true jewel, this mesmerizing timepiece is definitely a class apart.
