The Homo Faber event takes place near the Venice Tower Clock, which Piaget helped restore in the late 1990s.
From the 28th of August to the 30th of September, Homo Faber will explore the craftsmanship behind the objects that accompany life’s most precious moments in 9 themed exhibitions. An immersive scenography, which will highlight hundreds of handcrafted objects, as well as live artisan demonstrations. Today Piaget continues to finance and support the maintenance and revision services of the mechanism of the Tower Clock and of the Clock in Palazzo Ducale solidifying its long-lasting relationship with Venice.
Contemporary and patrimony Piaget pieces will be exceptionally unveiled at the Homo Faber Exhibition to illustrate our gold craftsmanship mastery and the art of chainmaking. Meticulously hand-made chains have been a Piaget signature since the 1960s, since the first Swinging Sautoir watches grabbed the style limelight, swinging on intricately braided chains, finished with lush tassels composed of chain.
Today, these hand-craftsmanship skills, refined over decades, are combined with advanced technological processes that bring seductive tactility to tassels, silken suppleness to knitted gold mesh or finely woven Milanese chain. At Homo Faber, vintage and contemporary Swinging Sautoir, Limelight Gala watches or cuff watches create a powerful dialogue between past and present times, between the timepieces and the live demonstration of the know-how of the Piaget artisans.
