Piaget Emperador Coussin XL Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater Watch Hands-On

The stand-out collector's (wealthy collector) Piaget watch out for 2013 may be the Emperador Coussin XL Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater (that people first showed here). Within our previous article around the watch we talked about the majority of the technical specs and that we will not repeat all individuals here. This publish is all about hands-up with the slim and formal minute repeater - a continuation of Piaget's mission to provide as develop a group of ultra-thin watches as you possibly can.

At 48mm wide the cushion-style case is not for everybody. It is not for those Piaget fans either. A lot of Piaget's perfect watches are thin dress watches at approximately 40mm wide or perhaps less. A 48mm wide minute repeater is really a large (literally) departure from individuals simple classic. However, Piaget does not intend for exclusive models such as the Emperador Coussin XL Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater to contend with its other models in almost any significant way. That resides in a comparatively very finely populated realm of quarter billion dollar plus watches.

Quarter million for that "simple" 18k rose gold model. Then you've the decadent, yes in some way much less blingy 18k white gold or platinum model with full pave diamonds. Piaget stored it classy by utilizing baguette cut gemstones for that bezel, which are arranged fantastically. Brands like Piaget frequently prefer to throw lots of diamonds at watches, and you can easily disregard these watches are fodder for foolish spenders, however the skill and methods accustomed to produce then are very  intensive. They do not just dip the instances inside a bath of loose diamonds and let super glue do its miracle. No, gemstones should be carefully selected, cut, and hang. Alongside it from the case uses more compact round-cut gemstones to have an interesting effect.

Whenever we first showed this Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater in December before SIHH 2013, we pointed out that Piaget broke a brand new slimness record for creating the earth's slimest automatic minute repeater movement. At 4.8mm thick the mechanical movement is most likely two times as thick as Piaget's slimest movement, but because of the complications 4.8mm is actually slim. The whole watch is simply a little under 10mm thick. Again, slim, although not "ultra-slim" in comparison to watches generally. Again, you have to think about the complications featuring. Around the wrist the wide and comparatively flat Emperador Coussin XL case is mainly flat and comfy around the wrist. Its shape appears like some fancy dinner plate, serving up a proper part of metal and gears.
