Interview: The Shockingly Thin Piaget Altiplano Chronograph Explained By Piaget CEO Philippe Leopold
The chronograph is a decidedly difficult complication to produce – that much we know. After all, up until about 15 years ago there were less than a handful of manually wound chronographs in existence. Another great tenet of watchmaking is that of the ultra-thin movement, a specialty practically owned these days but nobody but Piaget. It was last December that we caught a glimpse of a truly extraordinary timepiece – the Piaget Alitplano Chronograph – a manually wound, in-house chronograph with fly-back mechanism and GMT function that was only 8.24 mm thick. As of today, this incredible watch is in stores, and we thought it was worth revisiting this incredible piece by allowing Philippe Leopold-Metzger, Piaget's global CEO, to explain it to you. 1 OF 3 2 OF 33 OF 3 The Piaget Altiplano Chronograph is currently in stores (as of this week) for $28,600. You can see more on this watch here, and stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for a detailed review

White gold more durable than yellow gold?
Doing some research on my next possible buy. One i'm looking at is the Smurf. Is white gold more durable than the yellow? I know both are 18 karat and I'm probably answering my own question, but I'm wondering if in the white gold there may be a slightly higher content of nickel or silver.Is it a scratch magnet or does the fact that it's white gold hide it a bit better?
