Piaget with the 12P series movement has always been in a position of indifference in the field of ultra-thin watches. At the same time, the brand that fully integrates the technology of clocks and jewellery is constantly setting a new record for ultra-thin watches. At the 2011 Haute Horlogerie Salon in Geneva, the Count shocked us again. The new Emperador Coussin ultra-thin self-winding tourbillon watch has a thickness of only 10.4mm and a movement thickness of only 5.55mm. Set a new record for the world’s thinnest self-winding tourbillon watch.

 The new Emperador Coussin ultra-thin self-winding tourbillon watch belongs to the Emperador Coussin model under the Black Tie series. It is equipped with the Piaget 1270P self-winding tourbillon movement. This movement combines the technology of the world’s thinnest movement 600P manual winding rectangular tourbillon movement and the world’s thinnest automatic pendulum 1208P automatic winding movement Spirit, and the ultra-thin characteristics of these two movements and the automatic winding function are skillfully combined to create the world’s thinnest automatic winding tourbillon watch. The Piaget 1270P automatic winding tourbillon movement is in the shape of a seat cushion, with a thickness of only 5.55mm, consisting of 269 parts, 35 stones, a vibration frequency of 3 Hz, and the thickness of some gears is only 0.12mm.

 Although the size of this watch is the highlight, its design is also worthy of careful taste. The shape of the watch’s case is similar to that of the movement, which is also a cushion shape. Its size is 46.5mm / 10.4mm. The case is made of white gold. The dial is specifically made of laser-engraved sapphire crystal, creating a unique surface effect. Through the sapphire crystal dial, the details from the automatic winding to the minute hand set can be clearly seen.

 The watch design boldly uses an eccentric design: the non-eccentric gold automatic rotor is located at 9 o’clock, and is connected with the eccentric tourbillon frame at 1 o’clock to form a lucky number ‘ldquo; 8’ The eccentric hour and minute hands are set at 5 o’clock. At the same time, the design concept of the Black Tie style can still be seen from the watch: such as the machine engraved pattern on the dial, the conical time scale points to the eccentric hour, the minute hand center, or the automatic rotor and tourbillon window The gold frame decorated by the fate inadvertently reveals a stylish modern sense.
