SIHH 2015: Piaget Presents the World’s Thinnest Hand-Wound Chronograph (Updated with Live Photo and Price)
Piaget watches have long been renowned for their elegant thinness, and the brand has set numerous watch-world thinness records with its releases of recent years. The new Piaget Altiplano Chronograph, which debuted this week at SIHH 2015 �� sets another one, for world’s thinnest hand-wound flyback chronograph.The Piaget Altiplano Chronograph actually sets two new slimness records, both for the movement (just 4.65 mm thick) and the case (a wafer-like 8.24 mm). Piaget has created 25 in-house movements that it considers “ultra-thin,” with 14 of them holding world records in their category. This latest is Caliber 883P, based on Piaget’s 880P, the thinnest automatic movement on the market. Two years of development went into its creation, and the finished movement boasts unprecedented thinness in several key components, including the cannon-pinion (.12 mm), barrel staff (.115 mm), and chronograph gear finger (.06 mm). Piaget also managed to equip the movement with a 50-

Revisiting Le Brassus: Audemars Piguet Watches Mix Serious Horology With Iconic Designs
It has been about four years since I last toured the halls of Audemars Piguet. The historic Swiss watch maker still makes movements in the same building that Mr. Audemars and Mr. Piguet did in the 19th century �C though the company has expanded its footprint a bit since that time. Even now in 2014, plans for yet another addition to the Audemars Piguet presence in the sleepy mountain town of Le Brassus are being implemented. In several years an updated museum (with an exciting design that was recently unveiled) will open in a new and exciting space showcasing the brand's true right to call themselves a high-end watch maker. Even most Audemars Piguet fans don't know much about the company's history until the 1970s, when the now iconic Royal Oak was first debuted. If they are smart, a focus of Audemars Piguet moving forward will be to both leverage their successful designs with their rich heritage, as one of the most innovative Swiss watch makers still in operation today.Not long after I l

Should I sell my SD43 and pick up a BLNR instead (one watch collection)?
Right, so here's the deal, I bought my first ever Rolex in May 2017, the new Sea-dweller 43mm. I have always wanted the black sub date but this thing got announced at Baselworld and I fell in love with the dial and the pop of that red writing. Also the chance of owning a 50th anniversary edition watch was another pull. Now I've been wearing the watch for almost a year and my wrists are on the small side, 6.75 at best on a hot day! For this watch to look good on a small wrist like mine I feel like it has to be worn pretty snug and behind the wrist bone, which when you live in a warm and extremely humid climate it can get a little uncomfortable. Personally, it's just the protrusion of the caseback rather than the 43mm size that is the issue for me on a small wrist. Therefore, for me, it is not the most ideal daily wearer, considering this is my only 'high end' watch.Just recently, I have started to look at the BLNR more and more, a couple of things have pulled me towards this watch, blue
