Manufacture Piaget 1208 Movement

The 1208P movement, is a direct descendant of the famous 12P movement, and is the thinnest self-winding mechanical movement in the world. To set this record at 2.35 mm required all of Piaget's expertise in ultra-thin movements and refined components. For example, some of the gears in the 1208P movement measure no more than 0,12 mm and are hardly thicker than a human hair. The space between the wheels has been reduced to its minimum of only 0.1 mm. The movement is fitted with a balance stop. In order to make the best use of space, the pink gold micro-rotor decorated with the Piaget coat-of-arms, is off-centre and positioned at 9 o'clock.
