Hands-On With Two Diamond-Decorated Piaget Altiplano Tourbillon Watches
Piaget makes some of the most beautiful exclusive luxury watches out there. The Swiss company combines its more than 100 years of experience producing mechanical watch movements with the contemporary values of the company that include an ultra-thin wearing experience and high-jewelry expertise. Today, I look at two members of the Piaget Altiplano Tourbillon family that includes the reference G0A44053 with a meteorite dial and the reference G0A44031 that has an entirely diamond-decorated dial.Both watches contain the same in-house-made Piaget movement, known as the caliber 670P. This 4.6mm-thick (rather thin) manually wound movement is comprised of 157 parts and includes an off-centered dial for the time at the 8 o’clock position on the dial, as well as a window for the flying tourbillon located at about 2 o’clock on the dial. The asymmetric look of the dial is nevertheless balanced and invites curious eyes to see what the face of this elegant watch is all about.
Hands-On: Cyrus Klepcys DICE Chronograph
The Cyrus Klepcys DICE Chronograph is a lot to take in at once. A sporty design belies a horologically significant - if not whimsically excessive - movement that is the brainchild of one of the most prolific watch? minds out there.Indies are hotter than ever, and it's gotten increasingly more competitive for smaller brands to break through and get on the radar of enthusiasts. One very effective way to do this is by having an exalted industry veteran (especially on the movement side) join the team, and this is exactly what Cyrus did by having Jean-Francois Mojon onboarded as its "Master Watchmaker."Mojon is the mastermind behind movement manufacture Chronode, which is responsible for countless award-winning movements that include the MB&F Legacy Machine No.1, Harry Winston Opus X, Czapek's SXH1, and the sadly defunct HYT fluid movements. He also won the 2010 GPHG award for "best independent master watchmaker."
