For Piaget, the exploit has supplanted the unprecedented. It\u2019s only natural then that it is through its emblematic line that the manufacturer is tracing a half-century of quest and conquest of ultra-thin. Quickly become its signature, the Altiplano collection is the expression of a classicism imbued with purity and refinement. The fruit of decades of creativity, and more than a century of bold innovations, the extension of the Altiplano line possesses a rare richness that, this year again, has allowed them to be lauded and awarded prizes at the Salon Internationale de Haute Horlogerie for their most recent timepiece: the new Altiplano date 40 mm, the brand\u2019s latest world record-holder in finesse. As the watchmaker gears up to celebrate their 140th anniversary in 2014, this new exhibit will show the watch off to the public for the first time.<\/p>\n
The exhibit, located on the 2nd floor walkway of Printemps\u2019 flagship store, will present a story in perpetual movement. Certain of these pieces hold world records, like the 9P caliber, only 2 mm thin and dating back to 1957, alongside the 12P, released in 1960. The watches that gave the manufacturer its renown are each shown side-by-side with a vintage model. The fabulous watches with hard stone dials and the Altiplano skeleton ultra-thin will ravish the masses with their technical and technological prowess that, combined with a chic and poetic aesthetic, have definitively anchored Piaget\u2019s sophistication in the history of fine watchmaking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
