The
ultra-thin Calibre 600P movement, created in the workshops of the
Piaget Manufacture, was steadfastly recognized as a great achievement in an increasingly competitive world of horology. Not only openworked but also gem-set, this extraordinary mechanism was a response to the company’s ambition to take the timekeeping and jewelry art to the totally new frontiers. Introduced for the first time in 2005, this world’s thinnest tourbillon movement was highly appreciated by watch enthusiasts and experts.
The
new ultra-thin jewel-set Calibre 838P movement, unveiled in 2010, is an eloquent statement of Piaget’s outstanding mastery within the elite field of truly exclusive luxury watchmaking.

It is not a secret that for the
Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie Piaget the desire for innovation is a second nature. The watchmaking heritage of the house can be traced all the way back to 1957, when its highly qualified specialists developed a mechanical
9-ligne movement, which was just 2 mm thick. The first watches, powered by this caliber, sent tremors through the horological world.
This mechanism had a worthy successor in the world’s thinnest 12P automatic movement, introduced at Basel Fair in 1960. In its constant search for excellence, the brand not only boggled the audience’s imagination with its revolutionary ultra-thin calibers, but also protected them by extremely slender cases. Housed in them were elegant dials, characterized by unbelievable purity.
Piaget always refused to stay on a beaten track: out of a total of 29 movements, born in the company’s workshops, 17 are ultra-thin. The most outstanding recent calibers include the 430P (2.1 mm thick) developed in 1998 and the 830P (2.5 mm) issued in 2007.
