This Piaget Limelight Gala 26-millimeter 18-karat rose gold and diamond watch with silver dial is part of Net-a-Porter’s special Watches and Wonders edit. It sells for $27,100.

"New York—With the digital edition of Watches and Wonders Geneva only accessible to the trade, Net-a-Porter is offering consumer timepiece enthusiasts the earliest opportunity to shop cutting-edge novelties.

For the second year, the e-tailer and watch trade show have partnered, the former offering a selection of timepieces debuted at the show on the day it kicked off, April 7.

“Following last year’s successful partnership with Watches and Wonders, we are delighted to build upon our unique offering for 2021,” said Alison Loenis, president of Net-a-Porter and Mr Porter (NAP’s menswear counterpart).

Net-a-Porter, meanwhile, is offering one novelty from six brands it already carries: Cartier, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Piaget and Vacheron Constantin.

Given the novelties’ hefty price tags, NAP said it has been hosting virtual appointments with some of its best clients to promote the Watches and Wonders selection.

The company is planning a second partnership activation in ... '
