In 1874 the house of Piaget began its humble origins on a farm where Georges Edouard Piaget handcrafted clock movements for watchmaking companies. It was not long before the expertise of this one-man workshop became widely known and today with over a hundred years of history passion and expertise Piaget is known for creating high precision timepieces such as this Emperador Tourbillon. The flying tourbillon is one of the thinnest in the world measuring just 3.5 mm. thick weighing only 0.2 grams and assembled from 42 miniscule parts.
