Piaget Leather Strap Watches

Rihanna has made headlines lately not for her controversial relationship with Chris Brown but because she was seen wearing an expensive watch. The Piaget Polo Ladies Gold Watch can be seen on Rihanna's wrist in her "Take A Bow" music video. However, if you are more observant then you will see a range of products from Piaget in the video.The Piaget Polo Ladies Gold Watch comes in an 18K yellow gold case that's 28mm wide, and matching yellow gold bracelet. The feminine but dependable watch is a good match for Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad album, but you can be assured it will match your lifestyle too.The timepiece has a white dial with the Arabic numeral 3, 9 and 12 to indicate the hours. The rest are take cared of by the gold hand indicators. This watch may be slim and small but it managed to include a day window at 6 o'clock.It has a Quartz movement protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. This watch is water resistant by up to 100 feet, so you need to worry even if it gets rained on sometimes. You can get this watch at Piaget boutiques and its authorized dealers.

Here are some interesting skeletonized versions of Piaget's new Polo 45 (FortyFive) collection timepieces. I spotted these watches at Piaget, though I don't believe there has been any press about them. Piaget may be waiting to announce them, but here they are. There is a chronograph and three-hand version, and they are pretty much the same Piaget Polo 45 you are now familiar with, but with stylized, skeletonized dials. Under the dials is the in-house made Piaget movement with perlage polish. The the dials retain all the necessary markers and numerals, but are otherwise skeletonzied. A liberal amount of red is used adding to the sporty feel of the watch. Many people feel that the Piaget Polo FortyFive watch collection was a mistake to begin with. Being overpriced and under-styled. Others really liked it though - and for those people I think these skeletonized models will be a hit. Piaget uses a large red circle over the date window, which is a nice touch. I don't think these watches have the typical Piaget polish that we are used to, but that isn't really what the Polo FortyFive collection is all about. While the hour markers do a good job of popping out on the dial, the hands need a lot of improvement to be legible enough. I understand that these skeletonized Polo FortyFive watches are going to be commercially available but in limited amounts. Look for them sometime this year at a price that is likely a slight premium over the standard Piaget Polo FortyFive automatic or chronograph models.
