ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 15 – The Piaget Polo S
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. The launch in New York created one of the ‘moments’ of the year, and showed the modern face of high-end horology, which is more and more about meeting the market, while still bringing the superior finishing and detail you’d expect from a brand as prestigious as Piaget. Who should you buy this for: A connoisseur, because Piaget’s place at the very highest echelons of watchmaking is unquestioned. What’s the damage: Under $16k Piaget Polo S Australian Pricing The Piaget Polo S, $15,600
The post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 15 – The Piaget Polo S appeared first on Time and Tide Watches.
Firstly, let’s not delude ourselves: your timepiece is going to impress more men than women. That’s a given. Unless of course it’s awful. If that’s the case, you’ll be slaying precisely no one – and also, how did you find your way to Time+Tide? However, there are a few ways you can maximise your chances of making an impression on the fairer sex with your choice of wristwear, at least a little. Listen carefully. Step 1: Choose something less obvious Less obvious than what? Less obvious than the one you’re most likely to choose, obviously. Because even though that un-aerodynamic chunk of metal on your wrist never fails to dazzle your mates and colleagues, it’s unwise to assume it’ll have a similar effect on the ladies. In the same way that we go for personality and intelligence over model-perfect looks in a life partner, we appreciate a watch that’s less in-your-face, more subtle, quietly capable. A dark horse rather than a show pony. Think along the lines of a more left-field brand, a vintage treasure or perhaps something customised. Step 2: Choose something totally obvious Don’t look at me like that. Yes, it’s confusing but get used to it, because it’s a woman’s prerogative…
