- Does your collection feel like it could be a bit more … interesting? If the contents of your watch roll or safe or sock drawer-or wherever you keep your watches-is looking a little dull, a little sad, perhaps even a little monochromatic, maybe you need something in there to give it a bit more punch. Well, how about this then, the Piaget Polo Skeleton in-wait for it-blue. Here are three things that make it a much-needed breath of fresh air.

Watches have never been more exciting, and this Piaget is one of the most beautiful watches ever produced by any measure. What is boring is the culture of watch acquisionists and hypists rather than collectors and appreciationists. Excellent review and video as always.
I agree that the hobby has never been more exciting. There’s also the rise of the independent manufactures and microbrands that have made the industry more diverse and interesting overall.
Indeed. I like Rolex just fine, and if their asking price were in the same neighborhood as their Omega equivalents, I would probably have a couple or more in the collection - for what sub goes for these days I could get a hold of a Glahuette Original, a Zenith, a Piaget Polo s, a Grand Seiko, or maybe even an entry level A. Lange - no contest, the sub really doesn’t stand out to me given its value proposition.
Yes, my collection could definitely use extra $300 000 in watches.
Have a Credor dream. Maybe add one more 0.
@@Grimmjeaux the most expensive Credor is around $450000
Wait I'm not understanding, this watch will be copied within 6months for $900 usd✔️
@@surfside75 reps are just sad
@@madaxe true true. But where do I find 26k+ for a single watch😐
Beautiful ! I’m not an usual fan of skeleton dials, but this one is truly a work of art. But the price really makes it almost inaccessible.
The simple fact that it exists, is why I love watch collecting.
It is a thing of beauty
I'm the same. I don't really like skeleton watches, but this one... damn it's beautiful.
That's the best looking Piaget by a long mile. And certainly one of the best "open work" (skeletonised) ive ever seen
I’m fairly new to the watch world, but I’ve learnt more from this guy than all the other so called watch expert ‘gobshites’ put together. Keep up the good work fella
Your videos are like the exhibited watches - carefully crafted with love in detail, well scripted and beautifully arranged. I could sit there and watch for hours.
These videos helped me live through the worst of the pandemic lockdown
my collection consists of a Casio, a Seiko, and an Orient, I'm never gonna get bored of them, how can I get bored of the beauties on this channel?
My orient star is one of my favourites, and I’ve got an airking and Milgauss , and a Sedna gold seamaster, it’s personal, but this fella shows us everything
not a bad collection by any means
Same here lmao
To me it's like a Ferrari. I'll never own one but I can admire from afar and enjoy the craftsmanship. This one is a stunning timepiece.
"... where the standard Polo is the fries you've been served, the Skeleton is the picture you ordered from.. " Brilliant! Just brilliant!!!!
Would love to have a Skeleton watch like this but it’s quite a luxury.
They don't have to be. For an open heart check the "Tissot Tradition Powermatic 80 Open Heart" (~750 new). For a full skeletonized watch, Tissot also has the "T Complication Squelette mechanical" (~1.8k). These types of watches are a niche, so there will always be a markup to pay on these. Try looking at used ones on chrono24.
The thing I don’t like about skeletonized movements is that they’re often designed to look overly complicated. This one brings attention to the actual mechanism of the watch. This. I like this.
Totally agree. You look at a Richard Mille, and the movement architecture is insanely complex just for the sake of it. This watch is just fascinating to look at, like a true cross-section of a luxury watch.
I love almost all skeleton watches because I really only like watches because of the movement. So being able to see the movement working is ideal to me. That being said, I agree on the ones being complicated just to be complicated looking aren't as good as the ones made to simply show off the movement at work.
My favorites are the ones with as much metal removed as possible where you mostly just see the jewels and gears. Not the ones with overly complicated designs just to look "cool".
I loved what they have done to the screws. What a combination of colors and that crest at the rotor just WOW.. Surely it took some time to finish that detail.
Disappointed to see the poor finishing of the minute-hand (0:19 sec). Didn't expect it for a $30K+ watch and that too from Piaget.
Can't unseeeee
You are right, for this price its a no go, BUT you have to admit in reality it is not possible to see this with your naked eye.
Beautiful piece. Wished I had purchased an original Polo when I had the chance.
My collection is very eclectic. I hate to have it all looking the same. I have standard sports steel, to fume dial, to sapphire case to bright blue CVD case and matching strap, from rolex to seiko. Buy what moves you!
If someone with such a voice tells me to commit multiple crimes , I won't even blink before doing it.
The biggest crime you could commit is watching the tool known as Archie luxury
@@santorini8423 say whaaat? faaarkerz!
You must kill a man to show some personality. Rob the bank, forge the note, break into that car. It's a rainy day, make it yours.
spot on! this voice could make me spend a king's ransom on a wristwatch...
He is perfect for TV...or even Book Reading. I'd be an instant fan.!
Ay my school has that colour blazer too xD, well for the juniors anyway.
You know what I like most about this one? Most brands paint their name on the glass of their skeletonized watches, which I think totally ruins it. Piaget put its logo inside, right in the corner here, which adds even more character to this one.
I think you’re right about this watch. I often find them a bit of self aggrandisement that often seems to appeal to other watch makers. This one is elegant and offers an incredible thinness without sacrificing legibility.
I wish I bought the regular boring watch. I bought an expensive Casio dive watch with a negative display. I can't see a thing, i can only read the time if I place the watch under a reading lamp or by pressing the "light" button.
Always love your videos. Still no Bovet review? I think I've watched a majority of your videos and can't, for the life of me, remember seeing a Bovet review. May I ask why?
Blue is getting old. It's time these companies started working with deep reds and greens and golds. Everything is blue.
This watch is both Fun & Beautiful! Thank you for showing this fabulous piece!
Every time seeing you right hand at the crown side but never turning it makes me really obsessed
The most exciting watch I have is a 1975 Bulova Accutron gold plated I'd say it pretty interesting
The old Accutron's are cool watches. Their tuning fork movement is about the only electric watch I am interested in. They have their place in watch history, the Spaceview is an amazing watch.
This is what makes the hobby so fun! You can get one of these. Or a Sturmanskie Gagarin, a Sevenfriday or Xeric, or LIP Mach 2000 or any other fun oddball piece.
Great piece. Very underappreciated brand. 26k sounds like alot however if it were to say Patek, or AP on the dial, what would the price be then? Most people with those brands on their wrists these days have never even heard of Piaget!
So nice to see a very clean and neat skeleton design without the usually OTT engraving work.
Very nice looking watch, but as with most skeletonized watches, it’s hard to read the time. I do love thin, though. My 7mm thin Habring2 Felix sits on my wrist like a dream.
Aren't watches on straps kind of outdated?? I mean that's for guys that wear business suits and jackets and blazers. Bracelets are more in and sport watches I think but then again that's my opinion
3:21 ouch.
Right watch to be picked up to polo club. Due to 42 mm dia, although in thin execution, should be noticed on one's wrist.
Hey guys, watch recommendations under 500 and 42mm or less, thanks boiiiis👍🏼
(Not really interested in dress watches)
What category of watch will you like? Dive , dress , sports , all rounder ?
@@hammalamiri12 anything but dress watches👍🏼
You could look into Tissot for example, the entry level models start at around 400-500
Seiko 5
Go for Seiko skx
Thank you for the excellent work at conveying quantity watches.
Who else's love for Piaget comes from the film "Planes Trains and Automobiles"?
I like the bulova computron. Not really boring, but simple push led watch
3:54 phallic jokes in a luxury watch review? Nothing more fitting than that
Something wild like gray... or the audemar piguet black panther perhaps.
I noticed that movement has many scuffs. The finishing does not look Piaget-esque
Thanks for this excellent video which contributed to me getting this blue Polo Skeleton recently! :)
I saw this at Watch and Wonders Shanghai 2021. Also, got to try on the Ultrathin 2mm. Piaget is really taking another toll on the watch world with its a unique design. I can't say I like it but at least they are making something different.
'Blue mechanical carcass' made me laugh hard 🤣
I was on the fence on this one. But im getting it now.
Beautiful piece, I have actually tried this model on
When everyone losses their design cues and paint their watches stupid green, Piaget shows its magic in blue Skeletal dial.
Great craftsmanship (time keeping and design) is what watches are all about. This piece exemplifies that.
Please do a video on the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms bathyscaphe in 38mm with the grey dial!!!
Actually watch channels are getting boring....but this channel is anything but! Love the content and presentation! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Watchfinder. Can't afford it, watch it anyways.
Like the question why watches are big. There are not that many people with wrists like legs. And when you see a 40mm on the tiny wrists of Horomariobro, you just think that it doesn’t fit as intended.
"Space Mountain on acid." Awesome! 🤣
Imagine what would happen if you dropped it though
Beautiful watch!
Probably one of my favorite skletonized watches
Pray for my country in this difficult times.
It's.. so pretty💙
sound is perfect now.
I keep wishing there were more novel complications, perhaps unrelated to telling time, as time goes on. Maybe a Slinky, or a solitaire game on a watch, or something.
Have a look at the Cristophe Claret 21 Blackjack watch!
Piaget really know how to make their skeletons
$36,800.00 ?????????? A little bit out of reach huh???
RIDICULOUS
2:56 the camera isn't moving, but instead it was the watch all along!
Speaking of watches with a splash of color, I would love if you took a look at the Zenith Defy El Primero 21 Ultraviolet. Thanks for all of the wonderful videos!
yes they are
I love the way he describes watches
Hmm beautiful but I will go for the Zenith Defy skeletonized, almost same dimensions and way cheaper maybe not as detailed but extremely beautiful.
He could sell a ketchup popsicle to an Eskimo wearing white gloves
Gorgeous blue, thanks 🙏
Perhaps other colors will follow, maybe green or red !
Accept no less than the original, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711. :P
It's a good looking watch undeniably, but the price is in the silly range especially if you want a more premium metal for the case.
In the spirit of a WatchFinder video if you like this watch but can't afford the $30k+ price tag you can get a fairly similar looking watch PLUS a Tourbillon in the Waldhoff Vanguard V8 Skeleton Tourbillon for $1400 USD.
Hard to argue with that price proposition.
Yes, Rolex (and most other brands)... Same looking watches over and over, change color, add a millimeter. I'd also say majority of watch people have boring taste. So that is partially to blame. Anything beyond boring is considered crazy or cheap looking by most watch people (Richard Mille).
I just got a Solar GShock.
yeah, it is a really good looking watch and i was just about to buy it, but then ive noticed it costs about 30k, so.. ill just stick with my casio
-Are Watches Getting Boring?
Panerai: "N.... no..."
Another great video guys!
this guys voice is amazing
All recent retro re-releases indicate the lack of creativity and inspiration. And although 1.3M euro JLC is impressive it won't be found in an average wristwatch enthusiast' collection.
If you cant afford this
Go check Tissot T Complication
What are the chances we could see something from RGM Watch Company?
Not mine. I have a box full of funky vintage Seikos!
And of course I see dark green
Not a bad consolation prize if you can't afford one of those ultra-thin Piagets.
Now this is a brand that needs to be up there with those simpletons trio of pp ap and rolex
I have the normal Polo S. First thing I did was get it off the bracelet. Weird how big that skeleton looks in comparison to mine... maybe it's just the lockdown pounds I've piled on though? Also, the finishing is twice as good as my cheaper regular Polo. Even watching the video, it looked better than the one I have in the flesh (or metal..)
Love the channel, but I would love to see more content on seiko/grand seiko or just more affordable luxury brands in the future. I love to fantasize as much as the next guy, but id love to hear you talk about something I might be able to buy in this lifetime.
Its a 7mm skeleton watch for less than $30,000 - Thats a actually an AMAZING deal. Same Patek would be $130,000
A microrotor alone costs $40,000 at Patek
Please do a video on "affordable" skeleton watches from reputable brands.
I love this one but the price puts it out of reach for most. I'd like to add a Swiss (or at least from a good watchmaker) skeleton watch to my collection. Are there any that don't cost as much as some new cars?
Hamilton? Though.... I'm a biased guy. I own only three watches, and just recently bought them.(I also have zero intention on buying anymore for many, many years to come)
Though I've seen hamilton skeleton watches for 2k or so..... that's nowhere near the 300k here lmao.... but you said affordable..... and I feel that's much more so 😅
Hi there, I think Maurice LaCroix would be a good address for you, they make outstanding skeletons.
Depending on the price range, u might wanna look at Frederique Constant as well.
Tip: Go look for older watches on second hand market, because skeletons have been more popular in previous years, so you will have a bigger choice!
Cheers
The recently-deceased HMT made a solid skeleton watch for years. You can find them for under $300 secondhand.
@@yme3267 Good choice. I do love Hamilton I think they make the best bang for your buck watch out there (quality, Swiss Made, great heritage, reasonable prices, nice designs). I'll have to keep an eye on their skeleton models.
@@PM-gt9mh Appreciate the response. I have had an eye on Maurice Lacroix for a little while now. I have been wanting to check them out in person, once I'm able to travel again I have it on my list to check them out in person. I do really like their designs.
Raspberry jolly ranchers 😂😂😂
Am I the only one that thinks it's not blue, but green (teal)? If only it were actually blue!
I like it, but ironically not in blue. Good review, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
44 hours is not a good power reserve for a watch of this price. That alone is a deal breaker.
Sometimes a simple 'Like' is all that is needed. Great review and video.
Yes.
I think it is time to review G-SHOCK on the channel
Feel like learning your script and presenting it before a crowd.....
Looks fantastic however the choice of hands ruins the legibility :-(
Why Piaget, why...it's so obvious to me that these hands make time telling difficult.
It's things like this that makes me think high end watch makers are just tinkerers with a higher eye for detail than car guys
Nice to see and nice to forget at 26 Grand.
I bet they could make it thinner...
Nice, thin, automatic and one of the skeletons that you can tell the time from.
