Here are some interesting skeletonized versions of Piaget's new Polo 45 (FortyFive) collection timepieces. I spotted these watches at Piaget, though I don't believe there has been any press about them. Piaget may be waiting to announce them, but here they are. There is a chronograph and three-hand version, and they are pretty much the same Piaget Polo 45 you are now familiar with, but with stylized, skeletonized dials. Under the dials is the in-house made Piaget movement with perlage polish. The the dials retain all the necessary markers and numerals, but are otherwise skeletonzied. A liberal amount of red is used adding to the sporty feel of the watch. Many people feel that the Piaget Polo FortyFive watch collection was a mistake to begin with. Being overpriced and under-styled. Others really liked it though - and for those people I think these skeletonized models will be a hit. Piaget uses a large red circle over the date window, which is a nice touch. I don't think these watches have the typical Piaget polish that we are used to, but that isn't really what the Polo FortyFive collection is all about. While the hour markers do a good job of popping out on the dial, the hands need a lot of improvement to be legible enough. I understand that these skeletonized Polo FortyFive watches are going to be commercially available but in limited amounts. Look for them sometime this year at a price that is likely a slight premium over the standard Piaget Polo FortyFive automatic or chronograph models.

Piaget Altiplano Ladies Watch in Rose Gold (Ref. G0A36107)The Swiss watchmaker that is mostly known for its ultra-thin timepieces has recently presented a diamonds-set version of its Piaget Altiplano ladies watch.Presented in a compact rose gold case 34 millimeters in diameter, the new watch is powered by the Piaget 450P manually-wound caliber.Being only 20.50 mm in diameter and 2.10 mm in height, the ultra-thin movement provides the new timepiece with a minimum power reserve of 40 hours and offers a simple, but cute and well-executed complication: a subsidiary seconds hand, which is located at 10 o’clock.The small seconds hand sub-dial is decorated with a rose gold ring, which is set with 28 tiny brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of about 0.1 carats. The set-up boldly supports the main theme, which is set with the rose gold bezel, also adorned with 72 diamonds tipping the scales at some 0.5 carats.As you can see, the silver dial is decorated with eight Roman numerals. The one at 3 o’clock is replaced with the Piaget logo and the IX, X and XI are substituted with small baton-shaped hour markers — the solution that kind of spoils the picture.According to the company, the watch is going to be sold on a white alligator leather strap fitted with an “exclusive” pin buckle in rose gold.There is still no info about the planned retail price for the watch, but it is sure that the timekeeper will not be cheap.Well, at least there will also be a more affordable version in stainless steel.
