Inspired by an actual watch from the 1960s, it will bring you back to the Swinging Sixties. The watch features a [gold case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiffany-co-1) (either 18-carat pink or white gold), with 100 diamonds encrusted around and on the dial. The strap also features a cushion style that is, yet again, reminiscent of the 1960s. The Piaget Limelight City watch is classic, but still a flashy reminder of a fallen era. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Timepiece Revival:** There is a growing trend in the watch industry of bringing back vintage styles to appeal to nostalgia and interest in heritage. - **Luxury Watch Personalization:** Offering custom designs and materials for high-end watches can provide a unique and exclusive product for customers willing to pay a premium. - **Diamond-encrusted Watches:** Diamonds are not just for engagement rings anymore, as luxury watchmakers are incorporating them into their designs for a glamorous and opulent look. ### Where This Applies - **Luxury Watchmaking:** Promoting the heritage and timelessness of traditional watchmaking techniques, while incorporating modern touches, can continue to appeal to luxury consumers. - **Jewelry:** Watch design can be viewed as an extension of jewelry making, providing opportunities for collaboration and cross-promotion. - **Fashion:** By tapping into the fashion world, luxury watchmakers can position themselves as accessories that blend functionality and style for a complete look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Turquoise Timepiece Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turquoise-timepiece.md) - [Pop Art Luxe Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piaget-andy-warhol.md) - [Opulent Artist-Honoring Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piaget-x-andy-warhol-collage.md) - [Three-Dimensional High-End Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunlight-panorama.md) - [Haute Jewelry-Like Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piaget-altiplano-skeleton-mtiers-dart.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating High Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-jewelry-collections.md) - [Extravagant Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-extraleganza.md) - [Timeless Dress Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blancpain-villeret-golden-hour.md) - [Gem-Set Timepieces Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiffany-co-1.md)
