Antonio Mugica

Richard Mille presented on November 30th its latest timepiece, the RM 037, an original from the famed company based in Les Breuleux, Switzerland.
The watch has a titanium body and is skeletonized, meaning that you can see inside the body of the watch. It also has two pushers, one at 4 and another at 10 o'clock.  These pushers help you select between the three watch functions, and you can see the one selected through a small aperture at the 4 o'clock position.  The three functions are winding (W), neutral (N) and hand setting functions (H) while the second pusher, at ten o'clock, sets the date.

Piaget Altiplano Skeleton Ultra Thin

Antonio Mugica



The Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie Piaget is showing that less is more with the introduction of its ultra thin model, the Altiplano Skeleton.  This watch, apart from having the thinnest self winding movement (2.40 mm), is also the world’s thinnest self-winding skeleton model (5.34 mm) and sports a 950 platinum rotor.
The alternation between matte, brushed and sandblasted surfaces creates a contrast with the black surfaces of the watch, a stylish effect that only Piaget can achieve.
