Piaget Emperador Tourbillon

The elegant case of the Piaget Emperador XL watch acts as the perfect recipient for the world’s thinnest tourbillon, which measures just 3.5 mm thick. The carriage, composed of 42 parts, weighs barely 0.2 grammes. It has been placed in an original position at 12 o’clock to echo the moon-phase display positioned exactly opposite, at 6 o'clock.

It took the master watchmakers at Piaget a full three years to develop and perfect this calibre. Several patents have since been filed for the innovative solutions incorporated into this tourbillon. During its manufacture, a single watchmaker is responsible for finishing, assembling, casing-up and adjusting the movement by hand.
