It was a memorable second week at the Bridgehampton Polo series where the luxury watch firm served as the official sponsor for the Piaget Polo Hamptons Cup. The firm has had a long history with the sport of polo and 2009 marks the 30^th anniversary of the legendary Piaget Polo timepiece.

Larry Boland, President of Piaget North America, tossed out the first ball of the match (a custom-designed Piaget polo ball) and teams White Birch and Heatcote immediately went head to head, battling it out for the grand prize, with White Birch emerging victorious. Following the match, Boland presented the winning White Birch team with special Piaget trophies.

Inside the VIP tent, Piaget showcased its newest model, the Piaget Polo FortyFive to an audience of the Hamptons best and brightest. “We are thrilled to be back for a second year in a row at Bridgehampton Polo,” stated Boland. “This is one of the world’s leading polo tournaments and a great place to connect with fellow fans of the sport.

The Piaget Polo Hamptons Cup follows on the heels of the firm’s participation in the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic and Piaget Gold Cup in Palm Beach. This September the watch maker will proudly host the Piaget Greenwich Cup in Connecticut.
