Incoming! Piaget Altiplano Chronograph

Nov 03, 2016,18:26 PM
 

Happy to share the very first photos of my new incoming: the Piaget Altiplano Chronograph! 

I was totally captured by this watch since the announcement in 2015.  I think this is one of the best chronographs ever made.

Beside being the thinnest chronograph ever made (and to me the most elegant) it also features the dual time function that is really useful and practical for traveling. 




I read with interest some previous reviews and I was surprised by the relatively lack of enthusiasm for the altiplano chronograph. This said I appreciate that the pure-simple layout 
that is typical of Piaget might not be attractive to everyone


The size (41mm)  is perfect and very contemporary. The watch is very thin but also substantial. 


Not so great photos but I wanted to share the initial impression with all of you!
Best Regards
Christian

It\'s a pleasure to see more Piaget timepieces there. From my side, I have a true interest for the Altiplano Double Jeu and, beyond this one, the 900P in WG which is on my Grail list. Enjoy and wear it in good health. Best wishes Alkiro
