In 2001, Piaget constructed a new manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates, the suburbs of Geneva. The site shaped like a circle symbolizes a watch dial. Visitors enter the main building via a footbridge reminding the hand of the watch. The architectural concept pays much attention to light, due to large bay windows. Wood is much used both inside and outside, valued as a natural material that 'does not injure the precious metal, symbolizing the jewel-case.'
Piaget transferred more than forty specialist professions on-site, including gem-setting, machining bracelets and cases, polishing, assembly, casing-up and adjustment. A dedicated prototype workshop and an after-sales service are also there.

Time Gallery”, designed after the adjacent venue to the Piaget boutique at 40, Rue du Rhone in Geneva, is another distinctive feature of this new
Heritage Boutique. Galleries in both Geneva and Hong Kong display painstakingly arranged documents, tools and other items, which represent the world of horology. These exhibits reflect the history of Piaget from the brand’s foundation in 1874 to its latest achievements.

Gerard Barrau, the very architect, who created the interior of the brand’s store in Geneva. An alliance of space and harmony, the company’s new store reveals the infinite care lavished on details that is a reasonable expectation in terms of a fine mechanical timepiece.
Fine woods, polished stone, brushed aluminum and gleaming glass are fused into a single whole, which features an unparalleled quality, common for
Piaget watches and fine jewelry.
