KBH 7 Posted December 15, 2010 For Piaget, 2010 represents a tribute to its rich watchmaking heritage as well as a quantum leap towards the future. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the introduction of its legendary Calibre 12P in 1960, the world’s thinnest mechanical self-winding movement at that time, the Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie Piaget is presenting Calibre 1200P. Because it stems from the expertise in ultra-thin movements that has become a hallmark of the Piaget style, this movement once again sets new limits by becoming the thinnest self-winding movement currently on the market, at 2.35 mm: a first record. For its debut on the watchmaking stage, Calibre 1200P is equipping as of 2010 one of Piaget’s iconic models, the Altiplano watch. Featuring a new case size (43 mm in diameter), the latest Altiplano watch is a mere 5.25 mm thick, making it the thinnest watch in its category: a second record. This exceptional piece is modest about its achievements, since amid the current frantic race toward ever more complicated models, it displays only essentials: hours and minutes. In tribute to Calibre 12P, which also featured only hour and minute functions, it will be issued in two anniversary editions: one in 18-carat pink gold and the other in 18-carat white gold, each issued in series of 235 – a symbolic number echoing the movement’s record slimness: 2.35 mm.

AustinTech 0 Posted December 15, 2010 Thats nothing, I got watches that are so thin, you can't even see them. BTW - there are probably people out there who buy that watch to use it as a blade to chop up their coke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
