AT Watches and Wonders 2015, the Asian Haute Horlogerie Exhibition that took place from Sept 30 to Oct 3 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, renowned Swiss watchmaker, Piaget showcased a collection of divine horological creations to Asian connoisseurs. This exhibition saw the international debut of the latest Limelight Stella collection by Piaget. 

Award-winning actress Carina Lau graced the Piaget booth and was styled in a brand new Limelight Stella watch. Clad in the watch, she gave pride of place to the convergence of personality and poetic beauty as the secret to her glamour.

“Women are forever passionate about beauty. As a career woman, I strive for career aspiration as well as personal aura. In order to strike a balance between career and family, I must constantly stay in my best form,” said Lau.

The Limelight Stella is encrusted with brilliant-cut diamonds and embodies Piaget’s motto: “Always do better than necessary” in every minute detail. A masterpiece in its own right, Limelight Stella pays tribute to a woman in love with freedom — the freedom to scale new heights by pushing the boundary of her own talents; the freedom to write extraordinary and emotional new chapters in the annals of time.

The Piaget booth featured a romantic space themed “Midnight Sky”, taking visitors on a journey into time under the starry firmament. They had the chance to experience the unparalleled watchmaking expertise of Piaget, a brand founded by Georges-Edouard Piaget in France in 1874. In the 1950s, Piaget set about designing and manufacturing the ultra-thin movements that would become one of their signatures, leaving a lasting impression on the world of watchmaking.

The Piaget Limelight Stella watch is an 18K white gold case set with 126 brilliant-cut diamonds (0.65ct), white dial with white gold hour-makers, moon phase underlined with 14 diamonds, sapphire case back and a blur alligator leather strap with a white gold folding clasp. The watch can be purchased at the Piaget Boutique at KLCC from end of October onwards and retails at RM120,000.
