The promo video for the Piaget Polo S may not feature Santa prancing around on rooftops trying to fit his ample girth into chimney tops, but it does feature Ryan Reynolds up there, and boy, is he busy. The idea: there’s a rampant polo ball whizzing through the skies and only he can catch it (which, not to give it away, he does). It’s Piaget’s way of introducing their ‘game changer’ watch, a steel version of the Polo model that was first introduced in 1979.
