Not only that, it needs a key to wind it.

Spectacular piece of engineering though, especially as Piaget have dominated ultra-thin movements for a long time.

Fancy one of these Richard Mille Ferrari watches…..the thinnest watch in the world at 1.75mm?

Its only $1,900,000 and it needs winding!

Worth a watch (literally).

Personally I’d rather have multiple Ferraris for the cash!
Agree!

Astonishing feats of engineering but beyond investment value, cannot see the benefit of this - it doesn’t look particularly great on the wrist of the fella in the pics…

I just don’t know why anyone would risk wearing hyper-expensive watches in London anymore. Too much temptation for unscrupulous service industry staff (waiters, door staff, porters, receptionists, perhaps even managers) to tip off the scum bag robbers who think nothing of maiming or killing… especially when there is a low-to-zero chance of getting caught by disinterested police.

Has anyone bought a watch from Panzera?


I've just ordered this as a cheapie to rotate amongst the dailies as I'm increasingly uncomfortable wearing my more valuable watches in unfamiliar places. Watch theft is massively on the up and violence seems to feature increasingly with these robberies.

It's due to arrive next week, I will report back with initial findings.

I'll be interested to hear how you get on. I must admit I have been inundated with Instagram adverts for them for a couple of weeks and have been tempted myself.

The lack of movement details worried me, and the quite aggressive "40% DISCOUNT!" banners on the site made me nervous also.

The banners are a bit full-on and quite unnecessary IMO. There's a sort of Black Friday deal going on with 50% which triggered me to buy; great value with free shipping included. I've seen plenty of decent reports, will reserve judgement until it's in my hands.

Looks nice. I keep promising myself that my next watch will be an IWC, so have stopped buying watches on a whim until the funds are in place.
