Ultra Thin & Beyond
At 2mm thick, Piaget’s Altiplano Ultimate Concept is the world’s thinnest mechanical watch. Six years in development, it integrates the case and movement into one, where normally they’d be separate. Apart, the case back – made of a new cobalt alloy known for rigidity – is only 0.12mm thick (thinner than a human hair), while the sapphire crystal over the dial is 0.2mm thick.
