Jessica Chastain takes a turn in possession at the global premiere of ‘Crimson Peak'

(New York – October 21, 2015) - Piaget co-hosted the premiere of Guillermo del Toro’s much-anticipated gothic romance, “Crimson Peak,” starring International Brand Ambassador, Jessica Chastain. Known for her distinctive red carpet style, she was the picture of understated elegance in Piaget gold and diamond Possession rings and a green column dress.  

Minimalism was the trend for the evening with Mia Wasikowska wearing no jewelry at all. Joining the two leading ladies was Tom Hiddleston and Emily Coutts. 
Following the screening, Piaget co-hosted a lavish cocktail party at the New-York Historical Society Museum & Library. The space was transformed to echo the film’s dark and mysterious theme, and included a dramatic crimson wall filled with roughly 9,000 red roses, along with a display of Piaget high jewelry.

Piaget has a longstanding commitment of supporting film and the arts. The Maison will be a title sponsor of the Film Independent Spirit Awards taking place on Saturday, February 27th in Santa Monica, CA for the ninth consecutive year.

About Piaget
It was in La Côte-aux-Fées that Georges-Edouard Piaget set up his first workshop in the family farmhouse and devoted himself to producing high-precision movements. This was back in 1874 and marked the start of an ever-growing reputation. In 1943, the company took a decision that would prove crucial to its future by registering its brand name. 

Faithful to its pioneering spirit, Piaget in the late 1950s set about designing and manufacturing the ultra-thin movements that would become one of the Maison’s signatures and leave a lasting impression on watchmaking.

But Piaget was also a style: a marriage of gold and an explosion of color, new shapes, precious gems, and dials made of hard stones. Carried along on the wave of extraordinary creativity driven by Yves G. Piaget, the brand’s jewelry collection grew in a original direction with a resolute emphasis on color.  

Rich of 140 years of history, the ever-bold brand, innovated by offering jewels in motion, extravagant Haute Joaillerie collections, and incredible watches to become today one of the world's most prestigious watchmaker-jewelers.

As international Piaget brand ambassador, Jessica Chastain will make appearances at events around the world, adding pieces from Piaget’s jewelry and watch collections to her distinctive looks. By appointing an international brand ambassadress Piaget shows its commitment to jewelry and high jewelry.
