Piaget Altiplano Double Jeu Hourglass, More Than Two Watches Plus
Since a long time ago Piaget had started to create ultra-thin movements in order to cope with their distinctive watch designs. From the manual-winding 9P to the self-winding 12P wound by a 24K gold micro-rotor, the manufacturer's works have received very high regards. As big watch is today's fashion, it seems that ultra-thin movements have lost their grounds. Yet, any manufacturer who has an eye on quality would continue to employ such movements to avoid. Unnecessary burden to wearer's wrist. This is so because with a thin movement, the case can be made thin, light and of close to wrist. For Piaget, they have already been a step ahead of the others. They designed 9P and 12P back then to allow the pieces to come with a semi-precious stone dial which is relative thick. They designed the calibre' modern counterparts 430P and 830P right now so to allow their pieces to have more featured and variations in design and function.
In 2006 Piaget Altiplano Double Jeu rolled out, a dual timezone piece with two superimposed indications. By pressing the button on the case flange, the upper case can be opened to reveal the time inside. Early 2008, Piaget Black Tie Paris-New York collection revealed in Iceland. Among which the most impressive one to me was a variation of the Double Jeu. Instead of installing a movement, the upper case now contains a transparent hour glass, inside which are thousands "sand" made of white gold. Visually stunning, the piece was also expensive since it was full-paved with baguette diamonds.
Duly named Hourglass, my interest in thePiaget Altiplano Double Jeu Hourglass Watch was not in the gorgeous baguettes but the interesting design. If the historical record could be proved, then Chinese ancestors as early as 4,000 years ago had started using the instrument.Therefore, this Piaget's piece is an east-meet-west creation blending the past with the present. Don't think it's no longer a Double Jeu. The piece remains a duo-face watch, while the hour glass, in a broader sense, is also a time measuring instrument.
A no-diamond version of Piaget Hourglass was launched in the 2009 session of the SIHH. The occurrence of such piece, apparently, was to cater for people who love the design like me,On top of taking out the baguettes, the white gold sands have also been changed to ceramic, resulting a list price just one-sixth the high jewelry version.I believe, on the other hand, that ceramic sand with a diameter less than 0.55mm would not be easier to process than white gold. What's more, in black colour, they are a clear eye-catcher inside the white gold hour glass. Like a waterfall. The matte sands also render an interesting contrast with the lacquered dial inside. In short, it is a beautiful piece.
