In an audacious new expression of its dual mastery of watchmaking and jewellery,  Piaget proudly introduces two extraordinary timepieces that redefine the limits of elegance and innovation: the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon and the Altiplano 910P.

Since the in troduction of the legendary 9P movement in 1957, followed by the groundbreaking 12P in 1960, Piaget has set the standard for ultra-thin watchmaking. The Altiplano collection, born from this spirit of innovation, has become synonymous with mechanical elegance, technical audacity, and timeless purity.

With these latest creations, Piaget writes a new chapter in this storied tradition, merging Maison's horological expertise with its deep-rooted artistry in jewellery  and design. Today, the Altiplano continues to break records and push boundaries, most recently with the Altiplano Ultimate Concept winning the prestigious Aiguille d'Or at the 2020 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève

These new Altiplano creations mark the pinnacle of a nearly seven-decade journey—an audacious evolution of a modern watchmaking icon that continues to redefine the boundaries of elegance, innovation, and craftsmanship.

The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon
A Sophisticated Ultra-Thin Update

Following the 2024 debut of the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon 150th Limited Edition, Piaget introduces a new interpretation, distinguished by a sophisticated color palette of khaki green and yellow gold. The cobalt alloy case is still 2.0mm thin.

As has always been the case at Piaget, technical innovation is not an end in itself, but a means to achieve aesthetic purity. Here, ultra-thin watchmaking becomes a vehicle for expressing something greater, a vision of elegance where mechanics disappear into design.

In the AUC Tourbillon, there is no separation between case and movement - each element is engineered with the same uncompromising precision. The caseback itself serves as the movement's mainplate, a feat of integration where not a single millimeter is wasted in Piaget's relentless pursuit of ultra-thin perfection.

 Crafted from cobalt alloy, a material known for its resistance, the 41.5 mm case of the AUC Tourbillon also adds a sapphire caseback for the first time, giving full view of the caliber 970P-UC. The caliber now features a variety of satin-brushed and polished finishes, bringing a more sophisticated, contemporary character to the piece.

The caseback bears two engraved tributes: the brand's motto, “Always do better than necessary”, and “La Côte-aux-Fées,” the name of the historic village where Piaget was founded and continues to craft its most exceptional pieces.

In a nod to the Altiplano's design heritage, Piaget has subtly reinterpreted its signature cross-shaped motif, historically seen on the Altiplano, now replicated across the ratchet wheel, balance wheel, and screw arrangement.

This symbolic touch reinforces the connection between heritage and innovation. The AUC Tourbillon is paired on a matching khaki green calfskin strap featuring a newly developed pattern called “Polish Mesh” that evokes Piaget's goldsmithing savoir-faire.

The AUC Tourbillon will now join the AUC and the Andy Warhol collection as part of Piaget's Infinitely Personal program. Clients will be invited to co-create their own AUC Tourbillon through a dedicated online configurator, working alongside sales advisors to select custom finishes, materials, and engravings, transforming this groundbreaking timepiece into a unique expression of personal style, true to a long-held ideal that each Piaget piece should be as unique as the individual wearing it.

The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon stands as the ultimate expression of Piaget's identity - where the ingenuity of the watchmaker and the artistry of the jeweler converge in a singular, ultra-thin masterpiece designed for everyone.

The Altiplano 910P: An Icon for Every Day

Complementing the Tourbillon is the Altiplano 910P - a no less distinctive interpretation of Piaget's ultra-thin legacy. Measuring just 4.3 mm thick, the 41 mm case is made for the first time in yellow gold, creating a radiant contrast with the rich khaki green dial and matching alligator strap.

While Piaget's goldsmithing is celebrated in its bracelets and High Jewellery, here it seamlessly intertwines with the Maison's other great triumph—ultra-thin watchmaking—to create a timepiece where technical precision and precious metal artistry are one and the same.

The ultra-thin caliber 910P isn't just an engineering feat—it's a visual statement, with bridges finished in khaki green and a peripheral rotor rendered in slate grey and green tones, designed to complement the warmth of the yellow gold case and provide visual interest while preserving the watch's svelte proportions.

This new edition of the Ultimate Automatic draws direct inspiration from the AUC Tourbillon, with the same subtle cross-shaped pattern appearing on the dial screws—a bridge that ties both models together in form and philosophy.

High Watchmaking Meets High Jewellery

Together, the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon and Altiplano 910P embody the essence of Piaget's dual identity: a pioneer of fine watchmaking and a virtuoso of goldsmithing and jewellery design.

Conceived as expressions of elegance for both men and women , these timepieces transcend conventional boundaries through their balanced proportions, sophisticated palette, and uncompromising focus on form and function. With their ultra-thin profiles and artistic detailing, they appeal to a new generation of collectors who value both mechanical excellence and distinctive design as only Piaget can. It is style and substance–ultra-thin audacity wrapped in the ultimate aesthetics.

The Maison has long treated the watch not only as a precision instrument but as a canvas for artistic expression. These new Altiplano editions reaffirm that philosophy, combining technical ingenuity with precious materials and finishing techniques traditionally reserved for jewelry.

The khaki green and yellow gold colorway, specially developed for this collection, is at once refined and bold—evoking natural elegance and contemporary flair. From the meticulously brushed surfaces of the AUC Tourbillon's cobalt case to the golden glow of the Automatic's case and peripheral rotor, every detail speaks to Piaget's commitment to Extraleganza—a distinctive fusion of extravagance and elegance.

With these additions to the Altiplano Ultimate collection, Piaget manages to strike a delicate balance of daring innovation and enduring beauty, where every fraction of a millimeter reveals a universe of craftsmanship. The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon and Altiplano 910P are not merely worn; they are a tribute to past triumphs and an invitation to imagine the boundaries yet to be redefined.

======================
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.

BEDA'a Watches – ECLIPSE Qatar Edition

BEDA'a WatchesECLIPSE Qatar Edition Arabic Jump Hour Exclusive Edition2025

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

 Doha / Geneva, December 2025 – Beda’a unveils a new version of the Eclipse in commemoration of Qatar’s National day (Dec 18th), limited to 50 pieces only.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This new release comes in response to the overwhelming and positive reception of the Eclipse, as well as the increasing demand for new iterations by friends and collectors, and serves as a celebration of both the brand and its home, Qatar.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The Eclipse: Qatar Limited Edition replaces the original blue accents of the watch with a deep Maroon – as carried on Qatar’s Flag.  This is also shown on the case back of the Eclipse, with a new Maroon rotor. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Eastern-Arabic numerals are displayed front and centre to show the hours, and the “Beda’aBadge on the dial is replaced with Arabic calligraphy of the same.

Founded in Doha, Beda’a bridges cultures — blending Middle Eastern sensibility with Swiss Made precision. Lebanese designer Sohaib Maghnam, the brand’s creative director and CEO, shapes each creation with a distinctive aesthetic that draws on established horological codes yet ventures beyond them. This dialogue between regional inspiration and traditional craftsmanship defines Beda’a’s unique voice in today’s watchmaking landscape.

Beyond the Eclipse’s distinctive design language, the latest nomination at this year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) recognized the brand’s ability to express creativity, innovation, and technical depth at an accessible price point – the very spirit of the Challenge Prize.

Time told differently

Inspired by the rare natural phenomenon from which it takes its name, Eclipse reimagines the act of reading time from a minimalist yet striking perspective.

 Framed by a 37 mm stainless-steel case, a “celestial shield” conceals most of the dial, revealing only the essentials: a sweeping hour aperture, a floating minutes indicator, and a discreet 10-second counter.

The shield itself floats just beneath the sapphire crystal, creating a tactile connection and a play of light evocative of an eclipse’s corona. Beneath this architectural dial lies the Sellita SW300 automatic movement, visible through a sapphire case back.

With its 8.1 mm profile and refined lug construction – each lug individually finished and fitted to the concave case via invisible screws – Eclipse balances visual presence with ergonomic comfort.

Frederique Constant x TIME + TIDE – Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture Edition

Frederique Constant  x TIME + TIDEMANUFACTURE Highlife Moonphase Date Onyx Moon 39mm Edition 2025

 Frederique Constant x Time+Tide
Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture – Onyx Moon

A new moon rises on Frederique Constant’s Highlife collection with a collaboration of firsts.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Frederique Constant and Time+Tide are proud to present the Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture – Onyx Moon, a limited-edition collaboration that brings a series of firsts to the brand’s celebrated Highlife collection.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, the Onyx Moon embodies the two brands’ shared values of creativity, accessibility and entrepreneurship in the contemporary world of Swiss watchmaking.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This striking new model is the first Highlife to feature a Frederique Constant Manufacture Moonphase, the first to come with an integrated five-link bracelet, and the first Frederique Constant watch ever to have a dial without hour markers.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

At the centre of the piece sits a natural onyx stone dial, polished to create a seemingly infinite surface – a deep, liquid black that absorbs light like the midnight sky. Suspended in darkness against this cosmic backdrop, the silvery disc of the moon – complete with craters – glows with hyperrealist texture and detail. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Like so many sparks across the void, subtle flashes of red mark out the 31st day of the month and the ‘GENEVE’ lettering beneath the brandmark, setting the composition aflame. The whole forms a dial that’s both poetic and precise – and a timepiece that captures the quiet theatre of the night sky.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

As founder of Time+Tide Andrew McUtchen puts it: “The result is a watch that’s both minimalist and mesmerising. The onyx dial gives it a certain stillness, while the moon provides a sense of presence unlike anything else in the Highlife line. It’s a miniature piece of nighttime theatre for the wrist; a micro-drama of details – everything we all love about mechanical watchmaking in fact. What’s more, on a purely sensual level, it’s quite simply sexy. Black onyx, flashes of red, cool steel – it’s a piece that really stirs the emotions.”

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Niels Eggerding, CEO of Frederique Constant, adds: “This collab reflects our shared passion for making fine watchmaking accessible without compromise. The Onyx Moon showcases the beauty of our Manufacture Moonphase calibre in its purest form. It’s been a pleasure to work with Time+Tide to create such a distinctive piece for collectors.”

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Presented in a 39-millimetre stainless steel case that’s water resistant to 10ATM, the Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture – Onyx Moon features the collection’s signature integrated design, reimagined for the first time to include a five-link bracelet that adds a refined, tactile dimension. The quick-release system enables the wearer to switch effortlessly between the bracelet, a black rubber strap and the calf leather strap with nubuck finishing (both also included), thus offering three personalities – elegant, sporty and everyday – in one watch.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

In another first, the FC-716 Manufacture automatic movement has been chosen as the beating heart of this Highlife watch. Developed and assembled entirely in-house, it boasts an improved and truly impressive 72-hour power reserve thanks to a new mainspring alloy and a redesigned barrel. The date and moonphase displays offset each other perfectly at six o’clock, while the pad-printed moon features a realistic surface. Amazingly enough, all the functions are adjusted via the crown. Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, the Côtes de Genève and perlage finishings reveal the meticulous craftsmanship of Frederique Constant’s Geneva atelier. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, the Onyx Moon will be available from 11 December 2025, exclusively through Frederique Constant and Time+Tide Watches.
