The under-the-radar gang had their most recent meeting in . . .
Dr No
. . . Orange County yesterday over lunch and libations at a watering hole selected by gang leader Mitch K. About a dozen So Cal watch nuts enjoyed a leisurely afternoon talkin' watches, and afterwards, those of us that didn't have evening engagements made off for South Coast Plaza to check out a few watch stores, with the Piaget boutique as my focus of attention.

First up is the Limelight Tonneau XXL with diamonds . . . . . . which evokes images of Cary Grant in "To Catch a Thief" . . . suave and elegant....

Very elegant! This type of watch is not my taste (too much jewelry, too little time-telling), but it is charming nonetheless. What about pictures of the Altiplano and Double Jeu? *hands clasping expectantly* I'm sorry I missed out on the fun yesterday! I have no doubt ...

Your presence was missed, Daos . . . . . . and one of our guests brought a family member who had no interest at all in watches, but had a good time nevertheless! See you soon, Art

Emperadors with diamonds . . . . . . and your choice of either date display or a seconds subdial with power reserve. Both of these are in rose gold, but I'm told that other varieties are available. This message has been edited by MTF on 2009-07-26 15:35:35...

A pleasing square design . . . . . . which, in my humble opinion, is amongst the most difficult to pull off successfully: This Altiplano encompasses a few design elements that defuses the usually high level of aesthetic tension a square design imparts; the wide case-to-dial proportions...

I believe wmclarenf1 has more than a passing interest in . . . . . . this model, the openworked Altiplano . . . . . . and I can see why, as the engraved angular pattern and open view into the movement adds a touch of masculinity to the design....

Facinating Both the location and the design of the cut-out barrel remind me of the elements in the Chopard LUC Tourbillon Is there a similar piece with an automatic movement? A

I don't think there's an automatic equivalent, Aaron . . . . . . afaik, this is a special edition expressly for the boutiques. Reading between the lines, are you anticipating a version with a self-winding movement in regular production? Just curious, Art

Piaget Video #4: The Polo Lifestyle.....CONTEST
MTF
Dear Piaget forumners, This is an unabashedly Lifestyle Aspirational video of most of the PIAGET Polo range of watches. It makes reference to the jet-set origins of the PIAGET Polo. It is not meant to showcase the movements. I think it touches on the possibilities in the PIAGET Polo lines available.
