Report of the Piaget Event in Paris
The 26th of May, a PuristSPro event took place at the Piaget Boutique of Paris. And believe me, it was a great event around a wonderful topic: the Tourbillon. This event was not a mere cocktail with a gathering of watches. It was also a great opportunity ...
You Win Some, You Loose Some
I do so love that guilloche under the enamel on the dial of that altiplano, and the Tourbillon Automatic is an interesting take on the concept. On the other hand saying one has the "Only skeletonized tourbillon with diamond set bridges" begs the question ...

A great evening !
Thank you for this event, very interesting discussions about many subjects and Tourbillon in particular ! See you soon, Mark
Its a tough choice
Attending IGOTT-2 PuristS 10th anniversary party in Las Vegas or the PuristSPro Piaget event in Paris! Thank goodness that you and Piaget arranged this. I also feel a little more liking for the Piaget Tourbillon in coussin case and the dial-side rotor now...
Thanks F.X., here...
... my pics and observations: My love: Perfect size, the 838P is beautiful and the watch is a bite fun with the small second at ten. The 43 mm Altiplano with the 1208P: A little too big for me. 1208P have a perfect size and it gives much pleasure to the e...
