The Gouverneur Takes the Stage

Balanced shapes meet Haute Horlogerie in a fascinating new expression from Piaget

Gouverneur Automatic Calendar

Fitted with a large-size balance with screws as well as a balance-stop mechanism, the Gouverneur Automatic Calendar features two barrels ensuring a comfortable 85-hour power reserve. This movement reputed for its robustness powers the central hour, minute and seconds hands, as well as the date display at 6 o’clock. The calibre bears Piaget’s signature finishes in harmony with the brand design codes: circular Côtes de Genève, a circular-grained mainplate, bevelled bridges, blued screws and an oscillating weight stamped with the Piaget crest.

Gouverneur Chronograph

The Gouverneur Chronograph in pink goldThe Gouverneur Chronograph houses the new Calibre 882P, an ultra-thin mechanical self-winding movement. This classic model is distinguished by its two-counter design reminiscent of vintage chronographs.

In addition to the flyback chronograph functions – featuring a sweep seconds hand and a minute counter at 3 o’clock – the movement also drives the hour and minute hands, a 24-hour dual time-zone display in a subdial at 9 o’clock, and a date indication at 6 o’clock.

This ultra-thin (5.6mm) mechanical self-winding movement is equipped with a large balance with screws as well as a balance-stop device. It beats at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and is equipped with two barrels ensuring around 50 hours of power reserve in activated chronograph mode. The 882P movement developed in keeping with classic Haute Horlogerie codes features a vertical coupling clutch and a column wheel.

Fitted into the back of this Gouverneur Chronograph, a transparent sapphire crystal pane reveals the movement with its traditional Piaget finishes: circular Côtes de Genève, circular-grained mainplate, bevelled bridges, blued screws, and the oscillating weight stamped with the Piaget crest.
