In-Depth: Piaget Debuts Thinnest Tourbillon Watch Ever

Piaget does the unexpected to mark its 150th anniversary. Instead of a special edition of an existing timepiece, Piaget has profoundly reworked the Altiplano Ultimate Concept (AUC) – endowing it with a flying tourbillon.

It’s crucial to note that adding a tourbillon to the AUC is not merely adding a tourbillon.

Beyond its mechanics, the AUC Tourbillon also...
