Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept
Imagine an entire watch—movement and case included—measuring just 2mm thin, or to put it in perspective, just about the width of a strand of hair. This is precisely what the Altiplano Ultimate Concept, Piaget’s first-ever concept watch, accomplishes. There have been other brands who have, at least momentarily, broke Piaget’s ultra-thin records but this one puts a rest to them all.

Here, Piaget manages to pack all of 283 components within a 2mm-thin revolutionary, two-layer construction that holds five patents. While one can’t actually own this piece, it demonstrates what the “king of ultrathin” can achieve, and what we can expect to trickle down to its product lines in the coming years.
