It ranks the extreme specification into a new level.
The transcendent artistic value and absolute precise chronograph come from Piaget craftsman’s careful pondering. Altiplano series is synonymous with the pursuit of excellence. It lays a solid foundation for Piaget in leading the haute horlogerie manufacture industry. The new Altiplano is the perfect combination of Piaget’s all achievements since its foundation in 1874.
1200S ultra-thin skeleton movement was totally designed, developed and produced by Piaget watch factory. So far, a range of movements providing by Piaget include 18 ultra-thin movements and 5 skeleton movements. For Piaget, the reliability is based on a physical entity, which is also the main reason why Piaget keeps determining on innovation, expansion of its emphasis on highly technical requirements of ultra-thin movement. In its series of great honor, the most notable achievements include the development of the 430P movement in 1998 (2.1 mm in thickness) and the launch of 830P movement debuted in 2007 (2.5 mm in thickness). Piaget also extends its professional skills of developing ultra-thin movement to the production of a variety of complex movement, such as 600P rectangular tourbillon movement, 880P chronograph movement, 855P perpetual calendar movement, 1270 self-winding tourbillon movement and so on. In 2010, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its legendary 12P movement, Piaget especially launched the world’s thinnest self-winding movement 1200P (with hour, minute indicators) and 1208P (with hour, minute and small seconds function). At the same time, Piaget has opened a path leading to the development of skeleton movement and engraved decorative arts.
With three-year hard work, Piaget launched this perfect 1200S movement. Compared to its prototype 1200P movement, the new 1200S movement encompasses a number of pioneering innovations. Except for the exclusive platinum automatic rotor, the plate of balance wheel is decorated with harmonious and symmetrical aesthetics. Piaget 1200S movement ranks the skeleton art into a brand-new level with its absolute contemporary style and fine structure configuration. This modern and fashionable masterpiece is homage to traditional watchmaking crafts. It provides endless power for the Altiplano Skeleton Ultra-thin 38 MM white gold China Watches.
