Since 1874, Piaget has redefined watchmaking, merging ultra-thin expertise with bold creativity. From the 9P movement in 1957 to today’s revolutionary designs, the Maison's Swiss ultra-thin watches have consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation, guided by Piaget's motto: “Always do better than necessary".

 

The Art of Thinness Since 1957

 

For over six decades, Piaget has led the ultra-thin revolution. The hand-wound 9P (1957) and self-winding 12P (1960) marked milestones in watchmaking, setting records for thinness and elegance. The innovation continued in 1976 with the 7P, the world’s thinnest quartz movement, enabling bold new designs like the Piaget Polo 79.

 

Mastering Thinness, Maximizing Innovation

 

Achieving extreme thinness requires more than miniaturization—it demands reinvention. At Piaget’s integrated manufacture, the Ateliers de l’extraordinaire, every stage of the creation of ultra-thin watches unfolds under the Maison’s roof, enabling seamless collaboration between watchmakers, engineers, and artisans.

 

By mastering all the steps and, Piaget eliminates redundancies and optimizes every millimetre. Advanced materials like cobalt alloys enable components as thin as 0.12mm—barely thicker than a human hair.

Each ultra-thin watch is a masterpiece born from the collective expertise and passion of Piaget's dedicated craftsmen, who work together to balance functionality, durability, and aesthetics.
