Piaget Altiplano Date 40mm Ultra-Thin Watch

More ultra thin from the kingdom of Piaget for 2013. The main attraction at SIHH 2013 from the fashionable Swiss watch and movement maker was of course their ultra-thin minute repeater. We did get a hands-on that we will share with you soon, but something closer to being within the realm of possible affordability is this new 40mm wide Piaget Altiplano Date watch. The lovely dress watch is a new version of the Altiplano 43 Automatic that came out a few years ago. What's new?

Pierre DeRoche SplitRock Watch Review

Pierre DeRoche is one of those interesting indy luxury watch brands you could go your whole life without noticing, but you'd be missing out on some interesting stuff. You might have heard of them if you are like me, so you'll be happy to check out my review of their fascinating SplitRock watch. A unique name for sure, there is nothing "rocky" about it. Though I will say that all of the brand's collections do have geologic style names. Aside from the SplitRock, there is the GrandCliff, and the Shiny Pebbles.
