Few watch brands evoke as many diverse images as Piaget. When one hears Piaget, the dazzling vision of high jewelry and watches, lavishly adorned with diamonds and precious metals, often worn by Hollywood stars and celebrities at film festivals and other events, likely springs to mind.

However, for watch connoisseurs, Piaget is, above all, a "leading Swiss manufacture" renowned for its superb mechanical and quartz movements, particularly its expertise in ultra-thin mechanical movements. This year, continuing from last year, Piaget has unveiled an exceptional collection that lives up to both of these images.

The biggest highlight is undoubtedly the new self-winding movement "Calibre 1200P" powering a two-hand model, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary "Calibre 12P," an ultra-thin automatic movement developed by the company in 1960 that achieved a world-record 2.3mm thickness and remains in production today. Alongside this is a regular model equipped with the "Calibre 1208P," featuring small seconds, built on the same fundamental specifications. Both models represent the thinnest self-winding watch cases currently in the world. Their slimness and beauty are truly breathtaking.
