From the first sketch to the final finish, men’s skeleton watches, like women’s skeleton watches, require great attention to detail to preserve both the ethereal aesthetic of the movement and its perfect functionality.

Calling upon the combined savoir-faire of its watchmaking artisans and expert engravers, the Manufacture Piaget has made the exacting art of the skeleton watch its own since 1970. One by one, out of this impressive mastery, movements vying for thinness have come to life with and without complications, automatic and hand-wound alike. Among these carefully openworked mechanics are numerous records for thinness, for both the movements and the Swiss skeleton watches themselves.

True to its motto to “always do better than necessary,” Piaget was the first Manufacture to gem-set the functional parts of a skeleton movement. Not content to merely master the exacting art of ultra-thin skeleton watches, the Maison reinvented their codes, setting these mechanical works of lace with baguette-cut diamonds on both the functional and aesthetic parts. Driven by daring creativity, the Piaget Manufacture blazed a new path in 2014, enamelling an ultra-thin skeleton watch movement while taking home a new record for thinness.
