Piaget

Classic Piaget

Hi all,

I recently acquired the Altiplano, small seconds version, and I have to say I love the feel of the watch. My choice was between the VC Patrimony Traditionnelle and the Altiplano, and I am happy I went for the Piaget. Once I tried it on the wrist, it was no contest...the most mesmerising thing about the watch is its dial, and how simple, yet classic and vintage it feels/looks. The edge of the dial falls downwards, and that gives character and warmth to the watch. The seconds at 11 o'clock ensure it also looks unique and somehow artistic.

Of course, the other thing of beauty is the movement, which is stunning to watch, and it can be wound for almost three days, which is very nice for such a thin movement. It also has been designed for the case diameter which makes it fill the case, and it feels perfect for the watch.

I wish everyone a great 2013 and all the best,

Alexandros

...and if I may say, the larger automatic Altiplano with date that has just been launched at SIHH somehow takes away all sophistication. I hope they won't pull that stunt with this one, the best in the line-up. R

That is my favorite Piaget......

Congratulations on your newest, Alexandros, and wear it in the best of health! I'm a big fan of VC, and I can see why you considered the Patrimony Traditionnelle along with the Altiplano (though I think the Patrimony Comtemporaine 81180 is closer in spiri...

Hi Bill, Thank you for your message. I am a VC fan as well, and I was convinced that the Patrimony Traditionnelle was the one. But the Altiplano has an additional charm when on the wrist, that the Patrimony lacked. The Patrimony Contemporaine is a very be...

agiannakis, I tried to make cogent additional commentary to your precise owner's review but had nothing to add. :-) Your observations are what makes an Altiplano special! Regards, MTF

That is very flattering

MTF, thank you. The more I wear the watch, the more I discover little details that make it so special. For example the edge of the case, has an additional inclined little surface that makes the connection between horizontal and vertical sides of the case ...

Congrats!

One of my favorite Piaget watches. It is a nicely elegant dress watch, yet the treatment of the small seconds is a bit eccentric, which adds interest. Very nice! Enjoy your new beauty! Cheers, Daos
