Odd but I can't see the stem in the assembled watch.

For those interested in movement design, here is another class act: http://www.timezone.com/library/horologium/horologium631673932361754930

Only 2.1mm thick, this Piguet movement is definitely one of the thinnest.

Here is a thin movement...Piaget Caliber 1208P...2.35mm thick...1/4mm thicker then the Piguet, but unlike the Piguet, it is a automatic.
