That said, I will not deny that there are similarities between the Polo S along with both similar-looking Patek Philippe sport watches, but, in the flesh, the Polo S includes a much more distinctive design than that which media photos would imply. What’s more, the limited edition (there will likely be 888 made) Polo S Chronograph in black with its rubber strap gives a clearly sleeker and younger style. In any event, both of these models provide a comparatively value-priced offering that is a notch above choices from Omega and Rolex and are aggressive with bits such as the Nautilus, Overseas, Royal Oak, etc.The Piaget Watches Imitation Replica Polo S Pen comes in a 42mm stainless steel case and also measures 11.4mm thick. These are fairly typical measurements for a contemporary luxury sports chronograph. However, the thick bezel along with the horizontal case back help make the watch look younger than it really is. In person, the flat case back helps to keep the eye close to the wrist and creates the illusion of a thinner view. It’s a pretty comfortable watch to wear.On the wrist, the Polo S Pen exudes substantial presence as a result of its dimensions and the nice work that Piaget has performed with the case. It is well-finished and unites elements of round and cushion-shaped instances for a somewhat distinctive look – that the bezel is round and the cushion-shaped dial is someplace between the two. Water resistance is 100 meters, which is sufficient to get a sports opinion.

To choose between this year’s six finalists, the jury members of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève will have to evaluate the choice of stones, jewellery techniques and gem-setting expertise. In this category perhaps more than any other, the watches’ aesthetics are paramount, because these items of jewellery first and foremost: objects of beauty, rather than timekeeping tools. The majority of the six watches in contention are unique pieces, and their prices – ranging from 135,000 to 1,238,000 Swiss francs – are justified by the number and quality of precious stones they contain, and the time they take to make, which can be as much as six months. The horological aspect takes a back seat, as is apparent from the quartz movements and the simple hour and minute functions offered by all six candidates. The approach they take to displaying the time ranges from discretion to utter concealment – four of them are secret watches. 

Aesthetically, all six watches celebrate the pure beauty of diamonds and white gold (or platinum and titanium, for the Chopard model); coloured gemstones are used sparingly to add flashes of colour to otherwise pristine white pieces. However, the Camélia secret watch from Chanel’s Les Eternelles collection features an impressive 10 ct. Fancy Brown Yellow diamond, which is a big as the watch face hidden behind the camellias. This is the only watch that also features pearls, strung along the necklace, which can also be converted into a bracelet, giving the piece an air of distinction and classical poise.

Another botanically-inspired secret watch is the Lotus Blanc by Chopard, which is paved with a total of 25.66 carats of diamonds. Its immaculate whiteness is undisturbed except by the two blued hands. An ingenious mechanism opens and closes the corolla of petals inside which the watch is hidden. Bulgari has deployed its iconic snake motif, presented here for the first time with two heads, one of which conceals the watch in its jaws. The serpents’ heads, coiffed with emeralds, which also give them their piercing gaze, meet at each end of a bangle set with 555 diamonds.

The broadest watch in the anniversary set is a 43mm variant of the blue dial with light-blue cross-hairs. Unlike the 1203P from the 40mm version, it doesn’t have any date window. It otherwise accomplishes the exact same 44 hour power reserve, however. It’s adorned with bevelled bridges using circular C?tes de Genève stripes, a circular-grained mainplate, blued screws and an 18k gold, off-center micro-rotor engraved with the Piaget coat of arms. The 38mm white gold, manual wind ref. G0A42105 is a limited edition of 360 bits and is priced at $23,900. The 40mm models with a date window ref. G0A42051 (blue dial, 18k pink gold case), ref.

The brand new Altiplano is incredibly thin – the planet’s thinnest automatic in fact. The watch itself is 5.25mm thick, although the incredible 1208P caliber is simply 2.35mm thick. Sized at 43mm, the Altiplano is the biggest ultra-thin watch on earth, and one that paves a new street. The idea of broad but thin is something we are starting to see more of in the business and one that until recently, wasn’t something viewed as marketable. If a watch was to be thin, it should be little. If it were to be wide in diameter, it should be thick. Piaget Mens Watches Price Replica has ever been ultra-thin watches of a moderate size, but the 43mm Altiplano pushes matters further.When I met with Audemars Piguet chief artistic officer Octavio Garcia in the Summer of 2010, six months after Piaget had announced this quite watch, he said this notion as something that we’d be visiting a lot of in the near term from AP, along with others. While he did not mention that the Altiplano specifically, it’s obvious that this watch captured the attention of designers the world over because by SIHH 2011, we watched may more watches in this vein, even although none implemented to this level.The notion of the modern ultra-thin watch is built behind the assumption that they’re worn into elegant affairs, together with, at minimum, a nice suit and tie, and at max, a tuxedo. The ultra-thin watch is different and regal, and quite simply not appropriate for everyday wear. In most cases, I would say that statement is accurate. With this Piaget, nevertheless, I would argue they have assembled one of the most versatile ultra-thins ever created, and one that functions just as well with jeans and a sweater walking around NYC since it will work with a suit and tie on the way to the office.
Now, are there a couple of things to think about when purchasing this Piaget? Certainly. First, 43mm is a big watch, no matter how thick it really is. The Altiplano is expertly constructed to take a seat on any wrist nicely, but you can not away from pure physical existence. 43mm is a large watch, certainly for one considered by many to be a “dress watch”. Secondly, its own $20,000+ price tag puts it directly in the identical variety as a 5120 out of Patek Philippe and other similar Calatrava versions. Going head to head with Patek is a hazardous game as resale on any Patek is guaranteed to be stronger than literally every other brand in the world. In this range you’re also looking at the Saxonia collection from A. Lange & S?hne and a few choices from Vacheron Constantin. These three brands are unquestionably more “watch man” brands than Piaget, by pure overall understanding. Though the Altiplano is equal to all of the watches mentioned here regarding quality and finishing, and in some cases vastly superior, there are numerous men and women who don’t watch Piaget Watches Prices 2015 Replica for that they really are – a genuinely world class manufacture. And if you don’t believe me, do I need to show you this again?The truth that Piaget is not frequently listed among the Pateks and Langes of the planet can work to your benefit. I’ve discovered that many actual watch men would much rather be wearing a piece that does not attract too much attention, but has a story to tell should someone ask. The Piaget Altiplano 43mm automatic has two official stories to tell, one for each album it broke, and then a third when you turn the watch above.

Chaumet and Piaget Watches 900p Replica have both chosen to combine blue and white tones on a cuff bracelet, although the two timepieces are quite different in other respects. The Frise Divine by Chaumet is a classical creation of finely carved and interwoven laurel branches set with diamonds and sapphires, while Piaget’s Hide & Seek cuff watch, with its radically elongated rectangular dial in lapis lazuli integrated into the cuff is inspired by 1950s designs.

The magnificently modern Diamond Outrage by Audemars Piguet is inspired not by the poetic flora and fauna that usually decorate jewellery watches, but by the harsh climate of the Vallée de Joux, where it was made. Its geometrical shapes and points set with thousands of diamonds are like shards of ice in a bold, futuristic design reminiscent of the Diamond Punk, which won the Jewellery category in 2016. With the exception of Chaumet, every brand shortlisted this year has already won the GPHG Jewellery Watch prize at least once. So, which one will be crowned this year?
