The 2012 SIHH PuristSPro Live Report

Piaget 

 

This year Piaget continues its effort for pushing the boundary of thinness to the extreme - the result is the Altiplano Automatic Skeleton, which holds the record for being the world's thinnest self-winding skeleton watch (at a mere 5.34mm) with a world's thinnest automatic skeleton movement (2.4mm)

 

Although ultra-thin watches do not personally resonate with me, I do applaud Piaget's admirable and successful effort to push on this frontier.

The Gouveneur line - a versatile dress line (with case size of 43mm). The three models are time-only automatic, chronograph, and tourbillon moonphaes

A dazzlying diamond high jewelry piece, set with baguette diamonds, with skeletonized dial and micro-rotor on the front - a proper reminder that Piaget is as much as a master jeweler as it is a competent watch manufacture!

A few others do it Chopard LUC does quite a bit of it, Patek does it, and Roger Dubuis... just a few names that came to mind.
