The 2012 SIHH PuristSPro Live Report - Jon Z. (Z3) Piaget This year Piaget continues its effort for pushing the boundary of thinness to the extreme - the result is the Altiplano Automatic Skeleton, which holds the record for being the world's thinnest self-winding skeleton watch (at a mere 5.34mm) with a world's thinnest automatic skeleton movement (2.4mm) Although ultra-thin watches do not personally resonate with me, I do applaud Piaget's admirable and successful effort to push on this fronti... more

I wanted to share with you my observations on the Piaget Emperador Coussin Regulator. At least that’s what I’m calling it – to Piaget it is the GOA34024. I only had a few minutes in the Piaget Boutique so I grabbed the two watches that caught my eye: the limited edition Rectangle à l’Ancienne that I showed you recently, and this anthracite / grey dialled regulator.   The grey tones of the watch, with the contrasting alligator strap and 18K white gold case r... more

Like the previous years, Piaget was present at the Salon Belles Montres. Sadly, and not surprising, the SIHH preview watch stayed at the Côte-aux-Fées but hopefully a wide range of watches was availble for the biggest pleasure of the visitors. As usual, a workbench was set up in the booth to allow the watchmaker to present us a quite comprehensive gathering of calibers. I had the feeling that this year, Piaget had the will to give the proof that it is far from being only a Manufacture of... more

 I don't know how this Emperador Coussin Grande Lune "Planisphère" managed to land in Paris but it was great news for me! This Piece Unique (for the time being) is truly gorgeous because it combines to great effect the main complication of the watch with a superlative artistic achievement. I will not tell you that this watch is my fav version of the Emperador Coussin Grande Lune, I believe that nothing will be able to replace the WG one in my heart. But the "Planisphère" with its large enamel... more

Having been attracted by Piaget’s Altiplano Double Jeu and motivated to write a review of the watch, I wanted to continue my exploration of Piaget’s timepieces by looking at the very compelling luxury sport watches in the Polo FortyFive collection.Piaget debuted the Polo collection in 1979. Distinguished by the integration of the case with the bracelet and bezel, the Polo was offered only in gold. For the 30th anniversary of the Polo, Piaget brought out the FortyFive, the name referrin... more

It’s two Piaget watches in one! I am relatively new to the world of Piaget watches. Piaget is a name that I have always been aware of, but I had always associated the brands with high-end jewelry timepieces, not necessarily elegant gentlemen’s watches. As a collector of Vacheron Constantin watches and the moderator of the VC forum here at PuristSPro it is no surprise that I am a big fan of Vacheron Constantin’s Patrimony Contemporaine collection, which are distinguished by t... more

The 26th of May, a PuristSPro event took place at the Piaget Boutique of Paris. And believe me, it was a great event around a wonderful topic: the Tourbillon.This event was not a mere cocktail with a gathering of watches. It was also a great opportunity to share our passion between friends about high-end horology, to learn better the skills of the Piaget Manufacture and to understand why the Piaget Tourbillons are so special. The big surprise was the presence of Gianfranco Ritschel, from the Fond... more

PIAGET Altiplano Saga: Part 6  – Never Say Never Thin Again  – Automatic 1200P/1208P movements By Dr Melvyn Teillol-Foo  Extra-thin Definition In the absence of a precise definition for ‘ultra-thin watch’, watch brands are able to use their own vague terminology. We observe that watches can be called ‘ultra-thin’ or ‘extra flat’ or ‘extra plate’. By convention, an ultra-thin, hand-wound or self-winding mechanical watch wit... more
