Notes

Piaget launched its Tanagra line of watches and jewelry in 1990. Tanagra refers to the beautifully crafted Greek terracotta figurines which were found at a site in Boeotia, an ancient city north of Athens. These figurines, dating primarily from the 3rd century, often depict elegant women draped in robes.
