My opinion of Piagets' introductions this year could be summed up in one word: Extraordinary.
I have always been a fan of ultra thins and I am really glad about Piagets' new 1200P and 1208P movements. Aesthetically, I am deeply impressed by the new Altiplano 43mm and the Double Jeu. I am really curious to how they achieved the required rigidity in a case so wide in diameter yet so thin in profile.
IMO, 2010 has brought an extraordinary range of new watches from all watch companies but I find that JLC and Piaget are the standouts.
What do YOU think? And your country location?
Dear forumners, Now that the dust has settled, and before the official PuristSPro SIHH 2010 Report, I am interesed to hear what YOU think of the PIAGET introductions this year? Not just from the regular posters but everyone that checks in. Even if you wis...

I thought it was a good showing by PIAGET for things to come in 2010. The FortyFive are too big for my small wrists but the Altiplano skeleton is still my favorite. I know that PIAGET has a history of watchmaking and desire to reclaim that position, but c...

(We don't like to think of ourselves as part of the USA) I like the new automatics conceptually, and the new movement is quite nice looking, but I think 43mm is way too big fo that A

I like the new Polo FortyFive changes. I was hoping that there would be a complication expansion to the Polo FortyFive line-up, so I hope maybe next year we'll see a Polo FortyFive perpetual or something of that sorts. Also, I was hoping to see the Polo F...

Immaturity.....sigh
lien, Ahh....sigh. Quote: "The new Polo is a step forward but i feel they r still more of trying to impress than a completely matured model." I guess that for a 136-year old company, a 30-year old model may be immature. Thanks for feedback. Regards, MTF
Hmmm...
Hi MTF, The new Polo i m referring to the 45, is very well made, a new dandy sport watch. but then i learned a bit more about Piaget here and now, big dial tag advertising its a fly back/second time zone and now with heavy paints, skeletonized dial works....

I love the new regular production 43mm Altiplano. I also think the 2010 Polo FortyFive is very promising. It's going to get a second look from me for sure. Cheers, Daos

I was very impressed with Piaget's Altiplano offerings this year. I particularly like the anniversary model and the 43mm with 1208P movement. For many years I was sure the only Piaget I'd want to get would be an Emperador...but now I think I'd much prefer...
Where are the Canadians?
Seduced by Force? Enigmatic title: explained. I don't know why but every time I see that Wookie, I think of Nanook of the North (1922). And every time I think of Nanook.....Canadians! Regards, MTF
Currently in Japan.
But originally from New Zealand. Konnichiwa... and Kia ora! Oh and BTW, I really like the new Polo Forty-5 Chrono. IMO, it's the best looking Piaget they've ever released. Hope to see more like it in future.

I have always liked the 'ultra-thin' watches (although I don't own one) and applaud Piaget for maintaining the tradition of producing them. I like the hand wound versions, both the good old 38mm version and the newer 40mm version with the offset seconds. ...
I agree that 40mm is perfect to
emphasise the thin movement. They can't really do 38mm because this is a large diameter movement (1208P). We can only plead as fans for the real deal......40mm.....40mm....40mm........ MTF

Atiplano suits my taste. When I am getting older, I favour simpler stuff. Regards Ling

Overall I think Piaget is still on top of it's game, but personally there where a couple of things that have a certain impact on me as a consumer. Please forgive my direct and very personal opinion and keep in mind that I have yet to see most of them in r...

Martin, Magic Hour for Men....hmm....there's a thought. I did ask about the feaibility of a mechanicl movement Magic Hour and it is impossible with current in-house Piaget movements, due to the twisting case action. I don't see them making a backside wind...
