The Piaget Altiplano 900P, The World��s Thinnest Watch, For Only Watch 2015
Participating in Only Watch for the sixth year in a row, Piaget releases the Altiplano 900P – for the first time with red hands. Piaget bills the Altiplano 900P as “neither entirely a movement nor exactly a case – or rather, both at once.” The Altiplano 900P merges both case elements and the movement, achieving a record-breaking slenderness at 3.65 mm, making it the thinnest watch in the world. 1 OF 3 Piaget takes its skills in ultra-thin watchmaking to the extreme with this timepiece. Each of the 145 parts is trimmed to a hair’s breadth, including some wheels that measure a mere 0.12 mm. What results is a one-of-a-kind timepiece that is sure to turn heads at this year's auction. 2 OF 3 The Piaget Altiplano 900P will be auctioned off on November 7th to raise funds for research into more effective treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.For more on Piaget, click here. 3 OF 3

YG PP Sighting
One of my customers was wearing this the other day. I have got to say, this watch was just beautiful in person. I snuck this picture when he was chatting with someone else. I would have asked for a better shot, but this guy is way old school and I did not want to potentially offend him. Probably no big deal to you whales over here in the deep end of the ocean, but I was blown away and figured I would share.

Current Rolex and keeping up with inflation.
Gents (and Ladies),We all know Rolex is not necessarily an investment. But does it beat or keep up with inflation? Obviously, this is a broad question and there are endless models ranging from vintage to current models. I wanted to get a sense when one buys a Rolex, does one feel that with time they will at least get back what they paid for the watch and more?I feel this is more applicable in current times with people referring to the stock market as an 'asset bubble' and bonds and savings accounts offering meek returns. It has been advised to keep precious metals (ie. gold, silver) in the range of 5-10% n their portfolio. Would jewlery such as a Rolex be a worthwhile 'investment' as a storehouse of wealth?Thanks in advance.
