EP87: What It's Like to Create a 'Piece Unique'

Burlingame & Park ·

2026/10/09

Ever wonder how a one-of-one 'Piece Unique' watch is made? Today, we have a very special guest: artist Grace Zhang who commissioned a Piece Unique from Blancpain's Métiers d'Art program, using her own original artwork for the dial. We take a fascinating look inside the process of creating both the art, and the watch itself. As always, you can reach us for questions and comments at podcast@topperjewelers.com.
