Can anyone beat Piaget at ultra-thin?

Has Piaget had the final word with its Altiplano Ultimate Concept? After a fiercely contended battle with Bulgari that began in 2013, the latest offering from the Geneva brand is, without contest, the thinnest mechanical watch ever made Piaget has built on a principle it unveiled in 2014 on the manually-wound Altiplano 900P, whose total height of 3.65mm set a first record Not bad for starters but nothing to worry Piaget which, also in 2013, took the wraps off the Altiplano Date.

Automatic or manual-winding, Piaget and its "All-in-one" concept has the upper hand in the hours and minutes category thanks to the 4.30 millimetres of the Altiplano Ultimate Automatic, released in 2018, and the 2.00 millimetres of the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Bulgari remains hot on its heels nonetheless, courtesy of the manual-winding Finissimo and the automatic BVL 138 which beat Piaget's 1200P Where to put the achingly thin 395 millimetres of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic - automatic watch or tourbillon watch - is not for us to decide.

Either way, Bulgari and Piaget have left other manufacturers with little more than crumbs Equally discreet are the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date and Chopard's L.U.C XP, both with automatic winding. . Source
