Most brands have a schtick. Something that they are particularly known for and excel at. And for Piaget, that schtick is thin. For years Piaget have been making some of the sleekest, and slenderest timepieces around. And almost invariably these watches are simple, time only affairs – because adding complications means adding bulk. But this year the Piaget Altiplano Chronograph sets another record with a super slim 8.24mm hand wound flyback chronograph – and the movement itself comes in at 4.65mm. We can’t wait to get this one on the wrist.
Stay tuned for more information and pictures.
