Piaget Altiplano in Khaki Green: When Ultra-Thin Gets a Bold New Voice
There are watches you wear for the engineering. There are watches you wear for the jewellery. And then, occasionally, there are watches where Piaget refuses to let you choose. The 2025 Altiplano duo in khaki green sits squarely in that third category.

The H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Smoked Salmon: A Deliciously Complex Cocktail
If there is one brand that successfully walks the tightrope between provocative modernism and classical watchmaking, it is H. Moser & Cie. We have seen them mock the industry with Swiss cheese watches and Vantablack voids, but their latest release strikes a different chord.

This isn’t a revolution; it is a masterclass in refinement.

When faced with a timepiece that requires 11,000 hours of dedicated labour, one cannot help but question the justification for such an investment.

This is no marketing exercise. The watch provides documentary proof that contemporary tolerances and historical techniques can coexist, that COSC chronometer certification can be achieved using a Guillaume balance and fusée-and-chain, and that 18th-century regulating systems can operate with precision in 2026.
Timeless turquoise by Piaget
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This year, Piaget beckons us to fall in love anew with the mesmerizing allure of turquoise—an ornamental gem that has enchanted civilizations for thousands of years—through a daring collection of jewellery timepieces. Each design marries the Maison’s storied expertise in gem-setting and goldwork with its fearless use of colour and sculptural forms. From the softly contoured profile of the latest Sixtie jewellery watch to the dramatic drape of the Swinging Sautoirs, Piaget continues to push creative boundaries and honor a spirit of joyful innovation. Turquoise’s vivid blue-green glow has been venerated since antiquity: the Egyptians saw it as a talisman of renewal, and the Aztecs deemed it the “stone of the
