Notes

Piaget It was in La Côte-aux-Fées, a small village in the Swiss Jura, that Georges-Edouard Piaget set up his first workshop in the family farmhouse and devoted himself to producing high-precision movements that he would supply to the most prestigious brands. This was back in 1874, and Piaget?s activity developed extremely quickly thereafter, in step with an ever-growing reputation. In 1943, the company took a decision that would prove crucial to its future by registering its brand name. Loyal to its pioneering spirit, Piaget launched into the development and production of ultra-thin movements that were to become a brand signature and would make an indelible imprint on watchmaking history. In 1957, the Manufacture presented the famous ultra-thin hand-wound Calibre 9P, measuring just 2 mm thick; and in 1960, it introduced Calibre 12P, the world?s thinnest automatic movement at just 2.3 mm thick. For this fifth edition of Only Watch, Piaget has created a unique timepiece based on its emblematic Altiplano Skeleton: the Piaget Altiplano 38mm Only Watch Skeleton 1200S. To further enhance its unique features; the case is also engraved with "Only Watch 2013-Piece Unique."
