This appears to be an excellent piece. Right size, elegant and innovative. Hope we will see more pieces like this soon. I am continually being disappointed by the larger size, i.e. chunky and at-your-face, watches. I find 37-38 mm diameters more practical for dailywear thus to enjoy. Having a big chunk of metal on my wist never appealed to me. As one fellow PuristPro replied to a question on "What do you feel when wearing xxx? The answer was "Nothing:, because my watch is so light. I also dont want to feel the weight of the metal, and this Piaget seem to be in that category. Thanks for the post. Cheers. Jim
