Recent years have been marked by profound transformations, geopolitical tensions, rapid technological change and, at times, reduced visibility regarding the future.
In this context, a question naturally arises: which reference points remain reliable over time?
In 2026, Piguet Galland celebrates 170 years of history.
An anniversary that invites a return to the essentials: stability as the foundation of trust.
A bank built on continuity
Since its founding in the mid-19th century, Piguet Galland has navigated contrasting periods, alternating between phases of growth, transition and reflection.
Economic, political and societal contexts have evolved.
The way the banking profession is practised, however, has remained faithful to certain core principles: rigour, responsibility and proximity.
This continuity is rooted in measured decisions and a culture that values solidity, longevity and relationships.
Stability as a contemporary value
Today, stability can no longer be taken for granted.
It has become a sought-after anchor in an environment perceived as more complex and less predictable.
At Piguet Galland, this stability is reflected in attentive support, well-considered decisions and relationships built over time, taking a holistic view of clients’ wealth-related challenges.
Being stable does not mean resisting change, but rather approaching it with discernment and coherence.
170 years, and the same level of commitment
Celebrating 170 years means reaffirming a constant requirement:
that of earning trust, year after year.
Throughout 2026, this anniversary year will provide an opportunity to share perspectives on the history, values and vision that guide the bank today and into the years ahead.
Because, in an uncertain world, certain convictions remain essential.
