The challenge at this thin size is structural integrity. Too thin and brittle, and the watch case parts will snap or bend. The sapphire crystal, for example, is just 0.2mm-thick. There really isn’t a separation of case and movement, as the case is the mainplate for the movement, a design detail that allows for the watch to be considerably thinner than most other wristwatches.

The case back, bezel and lugs have all been satin brushed making a nice contrast to the case band that is polished. The timepiece is paired with an extremely thin green alligator strap that does not exceed 1.5mm, in keeping with the watch’s ultra-thin design.
======================
ABOUT PIAGET Piaget epitomizes daring creativity – a quality that has continued to permeate through the Maison since its beginnings in 1874.
From his first workshop in La Côte-aux-Fées, Georges-Edouard Piaget
devoted himself to crafting high-precision movements in a feat that
formed the very foundations of our pioneering name. In the late 1950s,
Piaget unveiled the ultra-thin movements that would later become the
Maison’s trademark and the cornerstone of the Alti-plano collection. As a
true innovator of the watch and jewellery world, Piaget strongly
believed in creativity and artistic values. It is within the walls of
our “Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire” where master artisans continue to
harness rare skills that have been preserved and perfected from
generation to generation, transforming gold, stones and precious gems
into dazzling works of art. Through its pursuit of masterful
craftsmanship, the Maison has created emblems of daring excellence
channeled into its collections including Piaget Altiplano, Piaget Polo,
Limelight Gala, Possession, Sunlight, Piaget Rose and Extremely Piaget.
