The World’s Thinnest Mechanical Watch, now Available.
First seen in 2018, the Altiplano Ultimate Concept (AUC), was just that – a nod to Piaget’s historical expertise in ultrathin watchmaking. But now the record-breaking 2mm-deep wonder is available to buy (for those wielding six figures)
Measuring a scant 2mm thick, the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept is far and away the world’s thinnest self-winding watch. To achieve this, the watch’s case serves as the base plate for the movement and lacks common components like a balance cock, shock absorber, and balance staff. It also has a balance spring placed below the balance, a mobile stud for adjustment, and a crystal that’s just 0.2mm thick. It was originally displayed at the 2018 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie and is now available to buy. It’s powered by a hand-wound in-house movement, has a 41mm case, and a power reserve of 40 hours.
As well as being limited by production, further exclusivity is offered in the degree of personalisation offered on the watch. The colour of the case, bridges, hands and dial can all be customised and individual engravings can be included on the front and back of the watch. According to Hébert, more than 10,000 variations are possible.
