Hands-On: The Piaget Emperador Coussin XL 700P (Live Pics, Pricing, And A Bit More On Quartz/Mech Hy
There are always a few major surprises at any major watch show, and the Salon this year had a big one. That was the presentation by Piaget of the Emperador Coussin XL 700P, a hybrid quartz-mechanical watch, which we first presented to you as part of our pre-SIHH coverage last December, and which was created, says Piaget, in celebration of its first in-house quartz movement from 1976. Having seen it, at last, “in the metal” at the Salon, we think we can address the questions many of you have, including how it works, and for those of you who are interested in quartz/mechanical hybrids, the question, “is it a Spring Drive?” The answer is both yes – and no. 1 OF 9 The good folks at Piaget must be mighty tired of hearing the words “Spring Drive” by now, although questions about parallel technology are fair. The 700P is indeed very close in most respects to the Seiko Spring Drive.  Although there are some differences in execution,

What's your latest conquest?
Here's mine. Had it about 3 months now and so far I love it. Now I have one sports and one dress style watch. I started out all Rolex and ended up all Omega. How did that happen?

Nice gift from AD
Hi allMy AD contacted me to collect a letter mentioning my free PP service. When I went to collect the letter he gave me a gift, a lovely PP wallet! It really is gorgeous!Given that I have purchased the watch some time ago, I thought that was a lovely gesture. During a chat he mentioned it was his wife's birthday during Easter so to show my gratitude for all his help with my 5167 I gave him a gift of a Gourmet dining experience for two. I hope he chooses his wife to take with him LOL. CheersAnujSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
