Question 5·Put in order
Rank these Piaget milestones by year, earliest first.
Correct order
- 1Georges-Édouard Piaget sets up his first workshop in La Côte-aux-Fées
- 2Hand-wound Calibre 9P (2 mm) presented
- 3Automatic micro-rotor Calibre 12P (2.3 mm) presented
- 4Altiplano Ultimate Concept (2 mm total watch) presented
The story behind it
Piaget built movements for other brands for decades before it became known for its own watches, and the 9P caused a stir at the 1957 Basel Fair. The Altiplano Ultimate Concept got down to 2 mm by making the main plate, case and bezel a single part.
