Old world in the New world – Piaget’s Altiplano

(Scott Bissessar)
Thank you Jesse!

A fantastic experience that I was fortunate to be a part of as a representative of the Swiss-Canadian Chamber of Commerce. I had the privilege of experiencing in person, and on my wrist, what it’s like to wear Piaget’s 2mm thick Altiplano watch. As a lover of technology and pushing the limits this watch required the Swiss watch making leader Piaget to completely re-think the mechanical workings to make the watch work – without digital assistance – at this thickness. You swing your arm, and it re-winds! In my opinion, the watch-making equivalent of going to the moon! Thank you to the Swiss Chamber Toronto for enabling and thank you Jesse Wu for generously hosting us at your shop in Yorkville, Toronto, Canada!
