Piaget Altiplano Hard Stone dial Ultra-Thin watches - A mix of high-end watchmaking and jewelry

Piaget, a Swiss luxury brand known for both its watchmaking and jewelry products, is best known for its Altiplano collection. The original watches from the 1960s, which featured dials made of exotic hard stones and were beautiful in their own right, heavily influence the new designs. The timepieces from half a hundred years ago as well as those made today are not just based on precious decorative materials. These delicate watches, with their thick dials of hard stones,Roger Dubuis Replica were made possible by the brand's horological advances - specifically the legendary ultra-thin hand-wound 9P movement. The new watches use a 430P movement that is only 1mm thicker. This caliber was 2mm thick.

The 430P manual-wound movement, which is used in the new Altiplano Hard Stone Dial watch, consists of 18 jewels and 131 components. The 430P beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz), and has a power reserve lasting about 43 hours. The only functions of this caliber are the hours and minutes. This is not surprising considering its size. The caliber also features Haute Horlogerie finishes, including blued screws and beveled bridges. It also has a circular-grained, mainplate, as well as a Cotes de Geneve circular pattern.

Altiplano's new watches, as has already been mentioned, are inspired by the original 1960s timekeepers featuring hard stone dials. The brand produced more than 30 different models during that time. In 1967, Yves Piaget, a renowned jeweler and watchmaker began to produce these watches. They quickly became fashionable. These watches were soon more popular and worn by timeless icons such as Elizabeth Taylor, Jacqueline Kennedy, and others. The modern versions with hard-stone dials and mechanical movements are only available in four variations, while there are also two new quartz-driven models.

Based on their size, the four new mechanical timepieces can be categorized into two groups. The two largest ones have a diameter of 38mm, and a thickness of 6.6mm. (All models, regardless the type of caliber or dimensions, come in round cases). The first is the G0A37202, which has a dial made of malachite.Omega Seamaster Replica This material is known for its fragility and delicate nature. The dial is a deep green with striking throughs of a lighter shade. The G0A37200 is the second larger model. It is made from a white gold housing and has a dial with lapis lazuli studded in pyrite to give it the appearance of a starry evening.

Two smaller mechanical models with a width of 34mm are also made. They are 0.1mm narrower than the larger (6.5mm) versions. The bezels of the smaller versions also feature 72 diamonds in brilliant cut with an approximate total weight weighing 0.5 ct. The first is G0A37204, which features a dial with the precious heart of ruby. This stone is very delicate and difficult to shape. The material is vibrant purple and paired with rose gold. The last of the mechanical Piaget Altiplano timekeepers with hard stone dials, the G0A37205 features a green face made out of jade with a yellow gold case. Each of the four mechanical versions is paired with a black strap that fastens using an ardillon clasp.

There are two other new quartz-driven hard stone watches - Calibers 690P. These new versions are only 24mm wide and 5.7mm thick. Like the mechanical Altiplano clocks, these are also housed in 18k gold. One is G0A37206, which has a white-gold case with a beautiful blue opal dial. The other (with reference number G0A37207), sports a rose-gold case with a turquoise dial. The quartz models are fitted with satin straps, unlike the mechanical ones. Each Piaget Altiplano Hard Stone Dial is individually numbered, and only available in Piaget boutiques.
