Piaget, masters of the ultra-thin movement, has recently released the new Piaget Altiplano Tourbillon Aventurine. It’s a limited edition of 38 pieces featuring one of the most complex and dazzling of all watch complications, the tourbillon, contained within a signature ultra-thin, ultra-sleek 38mm white gold case. The tourbillon is underscored by a pristine black and starry aventurine glass switch. And, in a first for Piaget, the actual bezel is set with 48 baguette-cut diamonds, two for every hour that passes.
Aventurine glass took its name from the particular Italian expression ‘a ventura’ meaning ‘by chance’. This is because its original creation was purely by lucky chance.
The story goes which in the 17th century typically the glass was created purely accidentally in Murano, Italy, when a glass worker let slip some copper fillings into the molten metal. The copper mineral oxide in the metal created a random and mesmerising sparkle effect like that of a starry sky as well as it’s this that forms the backdrop to the ultra-thin flying tourbillon cage placed in an off-center window at two o’clock.
The actual Piaget Altiplano Tourbillon and the hours and also minutes counter positioned at eight o’clock create a good 8 shape, a number considered lucky in Asia, and a symbol of infinity.
