Held in partnership with Shoppes at Four Seasons, this year’s Masters of Time will explore the idea of memories with a curated collection that celebrates how collectors and brands commemorate the moments they hold dear. Bringing together over 450 fine watches and jewelry masterpieces from 30 brands, DFS’ team of watches and jewelry experts has assembled an unprecedented collection that showcases the best of design, technology and heritage for both men and women.
This is the thinnest automatic wristwatch on the planet. It is more than that however, and in this Week on the Wrist review, I came to realize that the Piaget Altiplano 43mm Automatic might only be defining a new class of completely tasteful everyday watches. An ultra-thin does not have to be only for a suit and tie kind of man anymore, and this opinion proves that. The Altiplano 3mm Automatic was announced at SIHH 2010, and they’re only hitting retailers at the U.S. right now. What was Piaget up to all this time? Simple really. They were perfecting a totally magnificent automatic movement, the 2.35 mm 1208P, a movement that any true watch enthusiast has to love because a work of art. Piaget is known both for its thin mechanical watches and its function in the field of high jewelry. It is even known for its complex thin watches, such as the Emperador Coussin Tourbillon Automatic, the world’s thinnest automatic tourbillon, and also the use of high jewelry in complex wristwaches. But, the new Altiplano is purer than most Piagets you will see walking the streets of Hong Kong, London, or New York. The brand new Altiplano is a totally modern and masculine watch, a watch that’s sized for now but constructed with yesterday in mind.
Available for viewing from December 9 until February 18, at T Galleria by DFS in Macau, this year’s Masters of Time introduces for the first time a multisensory exhibition inspired by the theme of memories. Guests can tour the curated collection displayed amongst a series of interactive pop-up spaces.
