Piaget Altiplano 38mm 900P Is Newest World's Thinnest Mechanical Watch At 3.65mm
For 2014 Piaget will once again hold and retain the title of "world's thinnest watch" with the Altiplano 38mm 900P. For years now Piaget has been releasing mechanical watch after mechanical watch exclusively dedicated to the notion of being the thinnest possible of that type. This practice began long ago with lots of success. In 1957 they released the 2mm thick 9P movement and in 1960 they released the famed 12p automatic movement. Sometimes Piaget gets de-throned in a particular "ultra-thin" category by another brand who is able to cut out another fraction of a millimeter from the thickness of a case or movement. This year they take the title of absolute world's thinnest mechanical watch back with this actually very ultra-thin creation that is just 3.65mm thick, and whose movement is merged with the case.Over the last few years who has been the most interested in "ultra-thin?" Pretty much everyone. The notion of a very thin mechanical watch has been a haute horology trend as of late.

HARRY WINSTON Premier Pearly Lace Automatic 36mm
Harry Winston �C Premier Pearly Lace Automatic 36mmIf "the soul of a diamond is the light" as French author Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) wrote in his Pens��es, then mother-of-pearl is the setting. The shimmering organic matter lights up gemstones and makes them shine brighter, just like the fabulous Premier Pearly Lace Automatic 36mm designed by Harry Winston.As you'd expect of the brand founded by the so-called "king of diamonds", its ladies' watches have spell-binding dials. The artisans at Harry Winston have placed a painstakingly crafted layer of blue mother-of-pearl that's approximately 0.20mm thick on the Premier Pearly Lace Automatic's blue mother-of-pearl dial. Two silver spear-shape hands burst from the heart of the shimmering openwork bloom.The time functions are brought to life by the self-winding HW2008 calibre inside the white gold case dazzling with 57 brilliant-cut diamonds.Price on requestBy Sharmila Bertinharrywinston

Re: Noob size question
Hi guys,I've been a lurker for a while and it's finally nice to join. I just had a question regarding size. For instance I'm very interested in getting the new AP ROO Forged Carbon Black but needed dimensions if you don't mind. Sorry if it's a stupid question.1) What is the exact diameter of just the crystal itself?2) When measuring AP watches when it says 44mm-is this just the case or case+crown and pushers? I have a picture here and if you don't mind could someone please help with these 3 dimensions as shown by the coloured lines? Thank You very much!!!!!Sean
