Introduced: 1990 (jewelry line); watch line debut: circa 2017
Purpose / Inspiration:
Possession began as a celebration of movement—a spinning ring that invited its wearer to “Turn for Extraordinary.” By translating that playful interaction into watchmaking, Piaget created a timepiece that fuses the Maison’s twin strengths in high-jewellery and horology. The rotating bezel echoes the iconic turning band of the ring, symbolizing change on a whim and the power to set your own pace fhs.swiss.
Designer:
Developed in-house by Piaget’s High Jewellery and Watchmaking ateliers, under the creative oversight of the Maison’s artistic director. The team’s aim was to preserve the ring’s tactile ritual—allowing the bezel to spin freely—while ensuring every watch retained Piaget’s signature curves and gem-setting mastery piaget.com.
