Why We Love it

The mass manufacturing of well-built timepieces has been a boon for the modern watch buyer. Everywhere one turns, one is confronted by watches of good quality and solid build — and this is to say nothing of pieces from high-end independents and practitioners of haute horlogerie. But for those who crave a hand-made quality — a certain je ne sais quois that often feels absent from modern timepiece production — looking to the past can provide an answer.

Piaget’s mid-20th century output, for instance, heralded a creative renaissance in dial design — one in which semi-precious stones, colored metals, unusual shapes, and innovative bracelets held sway. Today, these vintage pieces have captured the imagination of collectors in search of something just a wee bit left of center. Take this incredible ‘Twin Time’ with a tiger’s eye dial in yellow gold, for example.

Masters of ultra-thin watchmaking, Piaget outfitted a 34mm yellow gold case with dual hand-wound movements to provide the wearer with the time in two time zones. Measuring just 8.5mm tall, the case features dual crowns at 3 an 9 o’clock, an acrylic crystal, and a smooth, polished bezel. The dial, fashioned from a piece of magnificent tiger’s eye stone, features horizontal striping behind dual left and right dials, each of which features painted ‘Roman’ and ‘dash’ indices as well as an ‘alpha’ handset.

For the collector in search of an offbeat approach to the dual-time complication, this magnificent, precious-metal piece from Piaget offers a revelatory answer. Paired to a black leather alligator strap with a yellow gold pin buckle, it promises many more decades of head-turning wearability and elegant timekeeping.

Brand Story

+
Piaget is perhaps the foremost player in ultra-thin watches and watch movements in the world. Established in 1874 in Geneva and currently under the Richemont Group umbrella, the maison began producing wristwatch movements in 1911, manufacturing the Calibre 9P, its first ultra-thin, hand-wound mechanical movement, in 1957.

In 1960, Piaget released the Calibre 12P, the thinnest automatic movement in the world at the time, at just 2.3mm. It fitted many of its miniature movements into innovative timepieces hidden in coins, brooches, and cufflinks, becoming known equally for its jewelry.

The Piaget Altiplano Ultimate, released as a concept in 2018, became a full production model in 2020. At just 2mm thick, it took the record for thinnest watch on Earth. Today, Piaget continues to innovate in the realm of ultra-thin watchmaking, creating ultra-thin tourbillons, retrograde movements, and more.
