PIAGET – Altiplano Small Seconds
Though surprisingly sedate for a Piaget jeweler watch, this newcomer should go down well with the genteel set more accustomed to high tea at The Peninsula than bacon-and-egg ice cream at The Fat Duck.
The Altiplano Small Seconds displays its classicism with the assurance of one well established in the genre. Corralled by 48 brilliants (totaling 1.5 carats) on the bezel, the gorgeous brush-finished silver dial plays host to stylized numerals and a small seconds sub-dial at ’10′, ringed by 30 brilliants (0.1 carats).
The latter’s asymmetric positioning delivers just the right dose of eccentricity to offset the strict geometry of the 30mm square case. At its core, an ultra-thin manual winding movement: Calibre 450P, with a thickness of only 2.1mm.
This being a Piaget Manufacture, the finishing on the mechanism is second to none: Circular Cotes de Geneve, circular-grained main plate, beveled bridges and blued screws – a delightful vista visible through the sapphire case back. In 18K white gold with a white alligator strap.
