The Altiplano 38mm 900p is the World’s Thinnest Watch
Michael Nieto — December 31, 2013 — Luxury
Ultra-thin watches just got even more intense with the newly designed Altiplano 38mm 900p watch. The company Piaget has reclaimed the title of creating the ‘world’s thinnest mechanical watch’ with an elegant and ultra slim design. This watch measures in at 3.65mm to make it thinner than many digital device alternatives.
Watchmakers are constantly trying to compete in making the perfect and thinnest watches to possibly wear. Piaget managed to take off 0.4mm of thickness to compact the smallest materials and move consistently within the body. All of its 145 components were made with extreme precision so it can work with the thinnest enclosure. These ultra-thin watches are valued between $20,000 and $30,000 to deliver the thinnest quality and elegance.
