-The Piguet family came from the village of Piguet-Dessus in the [[Vallée de Joux]] and became peasant watchmakers in the late 18th century. Following in the footsteps of his father and uncle, Jean Michel Étienne Piguet (1800-1859) focused solely on watchmaking in the first half of the 19th century. He was followed by Louis Élisée Piguet (1836-1924), who ran the firm and found fame through the turn of the 20th century. He was followed by Henri Louis Piguet (1867-1931), then Frédéric Piguet (1906-2001), then Jacques Frédéric Piguet.
