In horology complications are the salt in the soup... for some: Chronograph or moon-phase, tourbillon or world-time. All nice and interesting but to be honest: neither touches my heart. I am the simple mind: two or three hands and fine. Maybe a date, sure.

BUT: I love the most natural and general complication of them all that was around since day one in watchmaking -- miniaturization. It was always there -- more or less -- and it comes back in big steps: Piaget, Richard Mille and Bulgari push the limits on that end since years and it seems to become the hottest thing in town, again.

After years of oversized watches Ultra-Thin is back: #UltraThin.

And Piaget was always at the front of this battle: 9P manual (1957), 12P automatic (1960), 20P mechanical (1976) and 7P quartz (1977) -- all these were firsts and very impressive miniaturizations that secured worldrecord-titles for decades.
