The Piaget Polo Field is a watch they should've made years ago |

Before I joined the Time+Tide team, I worked as a Watch Specialist in-store for Piaget in NYC. It was an incredible entry experience into the watch industry. Each day I would get to handle all of their latest creations, winding and setting each watch before placing it in the case. And I remember each time I would set up the case of Polo watches thinking, were I CEO, I would make one change to this watch. At the time in 2020, the Polo was available on either a bracelet or leather strap only. It looked nice on a leather strap, but I felt rubber was sorely missing from the offering – it is a 100-metre water-resistant watch after all. I would even offer this suggestion to the Piaget team when the Specialists were surveyed for their thoughts. Lo and behold, towards the end of my tenure, the Polo Skeleton would be introduced with an interchangeable rubber strap. Then, a Piaget Polo Chronograph limited edition debuted on a rubber strap. And, at Watches & Wonders 2022, a black Piaget Polo Date on a rubber strap - finally. A year later, the Piaget Polo Field with a green dial and matching rubber strap arrived. I would say you could thank me for this evolution, but it might be a bit of a stretch.
