"The latest Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon pushes that legacy into properly absurd territory. Measuring just 2mm thick, this horological crêpe fashioned from a cobalt alloy nonetheless manages to incorporate a tourbillon."
"Equal parts technical flex and jewelry-adjacent objet d'art, it's less a watch than a timekeeper - and a manifesto for just how thin high watchmaking can realistically get."
Watches and Wonders 2026 takes place in Geneva from April 14-20, attracting brands, retailers, collectors, and journalists. The event features exhibitions and brand activations throughout the city. Notably, many launches coincide with the fair, including special releases from non-exhibitors like Breitling and Universal Genève. The Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon exemplifies ultra-thin watchmaking, measuring just 2mm thick while incorporating a tourbillon and ornamental stones, showcasing the limits of high watchmaking and design innovation.
