Lucien Piccard Watch History

Lucien Piccard watches have a distinguished history stretching back more than 80 years. The Lucien Piccard family founded the company in Switzerland in 1923. The company made a name for itself with its 14 karat and 18 karat gold luxury watches, and before long the innovative designs were gracing the wrists of movie stars and princes as well as the common man.

Lucien Piccard Watch Collections

Lucien Piccard carries several lines of watches for women and men, each with a distinctive look and feel. These include:

  • 14k Jubilee Collection - Each of the watches in this collection are made with 14k gold or white gold. With elegant details like a mother of pearl dial and diamonds where the numbers would normally be, this collection exudes sophistication.
  • Odyssey Collection - The odyssey collection includes such options as a stainless steel watchband and a diamond encrusted case.
  • Virtue Collection - This collection also has stainless steel watch bands and diamond encrusted cases, but the watch faces are square.
  • Lexington Collection - Watches from this collection are chronograph watches with round faces.
  • Prestige Collection - This collection of watches is made up primarily of stainless steel watches with round faces, but there is also a watch with a leather band and pave diamonds. Very snazzy!
  • Vega Chronograph - This is one of the larger collections of Lucien Piccard watches, with attractive faces in a variety of shapes and stainless steel or leather straps. Vega chronographs can come with or without diamonds, depending on the tastes of the buyer.
  • Delancy Collection - Another of the larger collections at Lucien Piccard, with plenty of options for interested buyers.
  • Executive Collection - These watches range from handsome, yet conservative, to avant garde designs that will definitely attract attention.

With this big of a selection, it's not hard to find a Lucien Piccard watch that calls to you. While some of these watches are quite costly, others are reasonably priced for the luxury watch market.

Vintage Lucien Piccard Watches

Some of the company's finest timepieces were created during its early years and many are still around, waiting to be discovered by watch lovers. Vintage Lucien Piccard watches are prized by collectors for their superior workmanship and design. Many watch collectors love to boast that their Lucien Piccard watches are over fifty years old and still work perfectly. Vintage Lucien Piccard watches can be found at antiques stores and antiques auctions, but the internet is the place to go for the best selection. As always, ask a lot of questions and buy only from reputable dealers when purchasing a vintage Lucien Piccard watch. Avoid watch cases that are dented, and cracked crystals. Finally, make sure that the movement is in working order, is not damaged and does not seem to have been replaced.

Hi Jon,

I'm afraid we don't purchase any watches at this site. We simply provide information for our readers on different watches, clocks and watch news. Your best bet is likely to go to a local antique dealer or vintage jewelry store. They should be able to give you an estimate of how much the watch might be worth.
