    Very cool piece of engineering. I would be afraid to wear it I think. Looks like it might snap.

    That is pretty amazing

    I can't imagine it would take a lot of abuse in the real world but incredible all the same

    Watchfinder made a great video about the previous generation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM4g6MNKT8M

    Stunning. I'd buy it in a heart beat if I was going to be wearing a tuxedo more often (Which is currently never).

    Fantastic piece of engineering.

    I can't help but feel this thread deserves more comments than it has.

    I've been trying to imagine how they've done this for the last 2 days, can't wait to hear more!

    That is some amazing design and engineering. Wonder how robust a 0.2mm thick piece of sapphire crystal is though

    I love ultra-thin watches. Amazing piece of engineering.

    No pictures doesn't help the cause.

    It's an amazing watch. I'm sure you could fold it in half without much trouble.

    Thanks for posting, amazing what can be achieved,
    Not my kind of thing, as when I don't want the 'bulk' of a watch I don't wear one, but impressive all the same.

    To wear under a shirt...that's perfect.

    I can't even recall seeing any quartz watches that thin (though of course I am happy to be corrected!)

    Very impressive & a great piece of work.

    One has to wonder why though?
    I'd be astonished if the business case stacks up?

    That is amazing, but why do with such a garish dial?

    I think its less garish dial (which really is only the top disk at 12) and more like they've incorporated the dial into the movement because it saves adding the dial on top to hide it all as this would increase thickness.
    It's a fab bit of engineering.
