Directly inspired by the dial of the Clock Tower, restored thanks to the patronage provided by
Piaget, a magnificent zodiacal arc adorns the 40 mm Altiplano (G0A40599). Combining the
techniques of paillonné (spangled) enamel and relief engraving, the timepiece is graced with 12
appliques that are engraved and then applied to the dial amid a hail of sparkling stars. The latter
4
are crafted from gold or silver paillons (spangles) and then are inserted between two layers of grand
feu enamel to illuminate the centre of the dial.
