It is not a secret that for the Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie Piaget the desire for innovation is a second nature. The watch*** heritage of the house can be traced all the way back to 1957, when its highly qualified specialists developed a mechanical 9-ligne movement, which was just 2 mm thick. The first watches, powered by this caliber, sent tremors through the horological world.This mechanism had a worthy successor in the world's thinnest 12P automatic movement, introduced at Basel Fair in 1960.In its constant search for excellence, the brand not only boggled the audience's imagination with its revolutionary ultra-thin calibers, but also protected them by extremely slender cases. Housed in them were elegant dials, characterized by unbelievable purity.Piaget always refused to stay on a beaten track: out of a total of 29 movements, born in the company's workshops, 17 are ultra-thin. The most outstanding recent calibers include the 430P (2.1 mm thick) developed in 1998 and the 830P (2.5 mm) issued in 2007.The company's mastery in ultra-thin movements led to the creation of complicated calibers, embracing the world's thinnest shaped tourbillon 600P, 880P chronograph, 885P perpetual calendar as well as the 1270P automatic tourbillon movements. In 2010, to mark the 50th anniversary of the release of its legendary 12P calibre, Piaget proudly unveiled the 1200P (hours and minutes) and 1208P (hours, minutes and small seconds) - the world's thinnest mechanical automatic movements, which were just 2.35 mm thick. The remarkable mechanisms were skillfully hidden inside 43 mm Altiplano watches, inspired by the striking beauty of the eponymous valley.In 2011, keen as ever to pursue the evolution of its collections, Piaget introduces a new series of Altiplano watches. The first members of the marvelous line are Altiplano 34 and 38 mm watches, which perfectly combine the world of fine jewellery with the world of ultra-thin movements. Distinguished by supreme elegance and purity, the novelties draw and hold the eye of the beholders with their fully-paved displays.
