SIHH 2018: Piaget Live Pic & Concept Watch Presentation

Jan 16, 2018,15:10 PM
 

I was very much interested in Piaget's latest thinnest watch - after all, Piaget started as a movement manufacturer and it's pursuit of thin/ dressy movement and watches are the core competence of this brand.  I really hope that PIaget keep pursuing this direction (read: not too much to the lady's products.... sorry, ladies...).



Actual one - although it is a "concept watch" which is not scheduled to be on sale any time soon - is much thinner than I had expected.  Many decades (61 years) ago, Piaget introduced 2mm thickness movement and today thya have made 2mm total thickness watch.  Simply impressive.

The case is so thin that the crown cannot have the usual shape.  It needs special tool to wind and adjust time.

I already loved the 900P so I fell deep in love with the 910P too despite its bigger case (41mm vs 38mm) which is 1 or 2mm too wide for me. But I really love it! Best wishes Alkiro ...  

Incredible how thin! [nt]

Yes, they had not forgot that they were born as a movement manufacturer...

.. but it may be still shaky as they chose a lady new CEO - we must all stay tuned....

Sounds interesting

Well, just my personal guessing.

.. the former CEO did great for the brand as a watch brand, e.g. Altiplano 900P and many more, and he was replaced with a lady CEO, so the Richemond management was not happy with his strategy and entrusted the chair to the new CEO, thus my guess is the Pi... 

So many questions...
