Piaget Altiplano Skeleton Ultra-Thin
Piaget is the undisputed master of ultra-thin. The brand holds several world records for thinnest movements, both simple and complicated. At SIHH, the list of records grew by two with the introduction of the Piaget Altiplano Skeleton Ultra-Thin. Learn more about the new records, and find wallpaper and pricing information inside.Designing and constructing ultra-thin movements is part art and part science. The science and engineering side requires deep understanding of materials and movement architecture. The movement designers and engineers must not sacrifice rigidity to achieve a thin profile.Yet even the best theories provide only a starting point. In the real world, nothing beats experience, and Piaget is among the most experienced manufacturers in the ultra-thin realm. In 2010 the brand celebrated the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking caliber 12P. Piaget currently offers 18 thin calibers, ranging from simple manual-wind two-hand models to automatic tourbillons and perpetual cal

Importation - does location matter to you?
Just wondering if folks are concerned about this?I mean, obvioulsy no one wants to be taken advantage of, and buying from a shop in your town can help with fears around warranty and legitimacy, but...Let's take an example where there is a Japanese market watch from, say, Seiko (Grand Seiko maybe...) and you live in the US.The watch is not offered for sale in this market.If you want the watch and have the means of purchasing it, would you?It's unlikely one will ever turn up at a local AD, so are you OK with buying internationally and having it shipped into the country? Sure, there might be duty applied before you can take it home, BUT, it's pretty unique, too, if that matters.This example is likely very real for many of us as today's globalized communications & ease of travel means many would have firends or family in locations outside the US.I understand there may/will be warranty concerns, BUT, aren't most warranties today "international"? I mean, yes you'd need to ship it back

Hi Beat 36000 Option from Seiko
Hey guys,It has been years since there are significant development on the 36000bph movements. Many great movement manufacturers in the past have worked on producing the 36000 beat movement but of recent years only Zenith and Seiko are known to continue working these high accuracy automatic movements.Seiko in 2009 reintroduce a new 36000 calibre with improve materials and lubrication system. Enjoy this video, Dennis. Cheers!

(2012) Jumbo 15202 blue and 15400 blue dial. Same color?
The AP blue dial seems to look different in every pic I have seen. Are the 15202 and the 15400 blue the same color? Thanks all.

Cal. 3301
Does anyone have any feedback on the reliability and service history of this movement. It's in the AT Chronograph.Thanks.gary
