This one of my favorite watches of all time. Gave a WG version to my wife. Legible, beautiful, perfect. The boutique in NYC has always been extremely responsive. Piaget deserves big respect.

[@rjy8960]

In crap times, Watchfinder continues to give us joy :) Thank you!

[@Ricky.913]

Your writing, the delivery of your words... all combined with your knowledge and the wonderful calming of your voice. Just remarkably. I forget I love watches too, lol

[@ThePiquedPigeon]

It took me very few of your videos to subscribe right away. As someone with an interest in mechanical devices and machines, this entire channel is an epiphany to me, and your recording style is absolute perfection. The detailed shots, the ambience, the background music (who composed it? I love it!), and your delivery style, so calm and sober, but always involving. You are so good that I'm sure that many of your viewers may actually not really have a noticeable interest in horology in the first place. Even me: I've actually almost never worn a watch, nor I can afford even the cheapest watch you feature in your videos, and yet here I am, admiring the often almost unreal complexity of these mechanical works of art, their details and the marvelous technical solutions many of them have and the craftsmanship of their creators, while listening to your stories about how these watches are conceived and built. Thanks to you, I also now understand better why some watches' prices are measured in tens of thousands of Euros. I'm so glad to have known your channel. Thanks for the hard work and keep it up!!

[@CleanClaspCollector]

I don’t like the “Automatic” text on the dial. It could be either smaller or omitted completely.

[@fredriklundh7649]

It's a bit like car manufacturers that insisted on putting a "5-speed" or a "16 valve" badge on the boot long after it had become commonplace.

[@nathanpoole6281]

Excellent analysis of a watch brand that is sometimes seen only as a jeweler designer. The only company to “make the tools that make their movements “ as stated by watchfinder. Quite impressive for a jewelry designer

[@swampy1234]

I love that not many people know of Piaget, despite its heritage.

[@silkdestroyer]

I have a 1962, gold 12P. Very simple, visually. Not even a second hand. But oh so thin, elegant and beautiful. I'm not a "watch person", and never really go any where to wear to a nice watch. However, I saw it in a jewellers window and simply fell in love with it. I also like the fact that it is only 3 years younger than I am. I look at it and wonder where it has been and who has worn it.

[@Phessington]

I really tried to find something with this, but couldn’t. Very elegant.

[@Arcane_Digital]

Your voice performance from the beginning of this channel till now is awesome, keep up the incredible work!

[@jdstarek]

Love Piaget and the Altiplano, always been a fan. The Polo is fantastic as well.

[@truebluemiata]

Splendid history lesson. This is the first auto movement I've seen that deserves a display back!

[@Norman-mn7gp]

Thanks for making these times a little more confirtable. Today, the great heroes are doctors, doctors and scientists. Antimagnetic watches are very useful for them. IWC Ingenier, Rolex Milgauss, Baume Mercier Baumatic, Omega Aqua Terra 15 gauss and Railmaster, Sinn and BALL and Alsta have models with these characteristics. could you talk about them my greetings from Nicaragua ...

[@984francis]

My heroes are the nurses.

[@stueyx]

If you are relying on the wristwatch your medical professional's wearing in 2020 to get you through your procedure you are in all sorts of trouble. I love watches but I categorically do not want them used for critical medical actions when better tech is available more cheaply and more frequently.

[@ryankelly5707]

Really reaching for relevance there. Just enjoy for the escape that it is.

[@alexp3752]

Piaget has been my grail watch for over 40 years. I will wear no other. Piaget is a movement house, with ultra-thins its specialty, and family members still work in the firm.

I have several Protocoles, a Polo, and a Dancer. As an enthusiast since my teens, Piaget is the best in the world.

[@swampy1234]

I went for a VC instead, but still find myself perving on Antiplanos and Polo S'. Good job sir

[@iTeerRex]

You finally showed a watch to look for. What a gem it is. Thank you.

[@tarquesh]

I own a watch guide of 2020 with 60 brands. I like the polo with green dial. My taste is diverse, with divers, dress watches, annual calendars, world timers, aviation.

[@sushimshah2896]

I come here to learn history as much as to look at these beautiful masterpieces.

[@wejpasadena1]

The Junghans hand wound watch is almost as thin for a fraction of the cost. I’m glad I got mine!

[@GustavoMerchan79]

I Admire the brand and the watch. I'd get a Piaget or a Breguet before a Patek, or even before a Lange. Up there in my list. What a great review. Just think it's lacking minute markers. Subtle dots would have been nice... But I'm no watch designer.

Brilliant watch ! great Channel ! keep it coming in these bad times!

[@fadafadoudi22]

Once seen, i can't unsee this : the "SWISS MADE" isn't centered around the 6 O'Clock markers, "SWISS" is closer than "MADE" ... Fantastic Mini rotor movement though ...

[@rayleeaustralia]

fada fadoudi ha... you've pointed out something that's annoyingly sticking to your mind😅 I feel for the poor guy that bought the watch. He'd keep staring at that SWISS MADE wording😂

[@maskito4256]

It’s an optical illusion. I have the same watch and I assure you it’s centered.

[@martinqizeaq]

@@rayleeaustralia That's a close mindset would think. SWISS have 5 word, and MADE have 4. If you want to make it centered end to end the beginning S need to be aligned with the end E. The first word MADE need to be caps for the whole word to be centered. I think people buying this watch would think that way.

Amazing background score, cinematography, writing, voiceover & above all a fantastic review of one of the most impressive watches in the history of High Horology!

[@ZenithKappa]

I'm wondering: what's the thinnest watch using the ETA 2892 (or the Sellita SW300)? That's a mass produced, automatic movement which is just 3,6 mm thick.

[@khanguyen4868]

U DN Nomos DUW 3001 is only 3.2mm thick!!!

[@jayh9144]

500k subscribers, Congrats!

[@drjenschn]

I am lucky enough to own a watch with a FP72 off-center movement... 2.4mm thick with a full-size (not micro!) off-center rotor. Ultraslim watches are absolutely stunning. IMHO every bit as good as the Piaget movements.

[@thatdutchguy2882]

Seen it on a wrist of a Belgian politican today. He's responsible for cutting healthcare cost in his country. Expensive watch for a guy having to do that job.

[@purplefabian]

Probably was a “gift”

Your suggestion will really help me in final purchase , plz guide

[@jdstarek]

I thought Piaget lost the title to Bvlgari a few years ago. Maybe that was the thinnest Turby.

[@watchnerds]

Yep, they broke three records, Thinnest automatic watch, thinnest tourbillon, and thinnest combo of them. Though I gotta say, for the thinness, you sacrifice the width, which they geniously mask them as the shape of the watch being square. Manual wound watch still arguably piaget, though. The Antiplano Ultimate is 2mm thickness, which is incredible, though with some compromise such as the crown being rectangular like Cle de Cartier, which very awkward to wind. And the crystal attachment which was glued into the case rather than the usage of the usual gasket. Well, for mass production they could use the solution like the vintage watches which attach the crystal from the back of the bezel which contain the gasket, then the bezel screwed down to the case like this Antiplano. Because once you glued the crystal to the monocoque case, it'll be hard to open the watch without breaking the crystal/heating up the watch. For the design, they could make the disco volante case as well.

[@youssefhanna9208]

@@watchnerds I think the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Squelette watch is even thinner than the Piagets watch by a mere 0.05mm

[@golgothatheend]

@@youssefhanna9208 That was comparing with Altiplano 900p. Altiplano ultimate is the thinnest mechanical watch ever existed, only 2mm, and master ultra thin squelette, 3.6mm. However, Altiplano ultimate is not in production, so that's that.

[@alexp3752]

@@watchnerds Piaget Ultimate Concept IS the thinnest watch in the world, at 2MM! I have held one in my hand, and it is beyond amazing!

[@simonwood1461]

Aesthetically, "Swiss Made" is misaligned at the 6 marker, and the "Piaget Automatic" logo is slightly more than twice the size it should be. Apart from that, I would like to own one of these very elegant watches.

When it’s finally safe to venture outside I may just do that. Piaget are one of those brands that I don’t understand why people don’t speak more about. AP, Patek and Rolex are so popular, for good reason, but brands like Piaget that make outstanding watches get overlooked

[@alexp3752]

@@BruBish Piaget makes about 20,000 watches per year versus Patek at 60,000.

[@scottfulps2065]

Piaget is a name one very rarely hears anymore. They were huge in the 1980’s...Piaget Polo was a must-have, but in truth their glory days are over. Think Gerald Genta, Corum, Ulysse Nardin. They have all faded in importance and collectibility.
