Piaget recently unveiled the Altiplano Precious Skeleton Watch to the world via its socials. According to the brand’s official statement, the new watch is “the world’s thinnest diamond-set skeleton self-winding movement.”

The organization built its reputation from the ground up with high-quality watches, so this new watch definitely walks the walk, with a 3mm-thick skeletonish material.

Apart from the skeleton gold dial, which cuts through different sections in a stylish manner, the new Altiplano also stands out due to its shiny appearance. The front face is highlighted by a glimmer produced by stones on different elements.

Piaget also went all out with diamonds. Elements featured on the front and back of this timepiece—like the bezel, dial, ring, and inner gears—are completely covered by diamonds, which are perfectly fixed on the surface to reflect more light. While the watch comes with 393 diamonds, the caliber has the highest number of diamonds (293 stones), due to the expansive surface area.

And thanks to the sleek design, multiple components, such as gears and bridges, are quite visible from various angles, adding some character to the overall look. Well, there’s just something about skeleton dials that elevates a watch’s overall look to a whole new level.

IWC Big Pilot Watch Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton XPL

IWC presents a watch with a reimagined shock absorber, the SPRIN-g PROTECT system, cleverly designed to house tourbillion movements. While the brand rolled out timepieces with a shock absorber system, they had to revamp it into a shape that could easily fit a tourbillion movement and safeguard it from external forces.

Apart from that, the tourbillion movement, the IWC-manufactured 82915 caliber, was slightly downsized into a smaller size that can perfectly sit on the cage of the shock absorber system. It now stands out thanks to the skeleton design, which is accentuated by polished bridges, rotors, and plates.
