For a brand that has fashioned scores of beguiling ladies’ models over the years, Piaget has never made a complicated timepiece specifically for women—until now. The new Piaget Limelight Stella ($28,600) watch features a large aperture at 12 o’clock, where the sun and moon appear to play a coy game of hide-and-seek. What further distinguishes the complication is its accuracy: Unlike a standard moon phase, which falls behind by an entire day every 2.5 years, the astronomical moon phase embedded inside the Limelight Stella is driven by a disk with a 135-toothed wheel that only requires a one-day correction every 122 years. Beyond the timekeeping achievement, take additional note of Piaget’s expertise with gem-setting, evident in the 36 mm, 18-karat pink-gold model shown here. (piaget.com)
