Yes, it reminded me an article from Fratello stating
"a new iron rule" for high-end integrated-bracelet sports watches: if it's over €10K, it must be less than 10mm thick": www.fratellowatches.com
Thank you!
The AE can be criticised as an AP or PP copycat, of course, but it works for me: price, availability, screw-down crown, 100m water resistance, dial pattern, thickness below 10mm, nice blue lume, perfect fit on the wrist, everything is just fine for me. Ev...
That LOOKS SOO GOOD!
And even the "standard" Alpine Eagle is only 9.7mm thick. Not overly thick. I really like this watch!
Thank you! In this article from Fratello
Lex Stolk suggests that if a high-end integrated-bracelet sports watch is over €10k, it must be under 10mm thick. And I kind of agree! www.fratellowatches.com
I've read his rule before...
Not sure I fully agree - Blancpain 50 Fathoms have very high end movements in them but are generally 11-12 mm thick. But I do like thin watches. As I own multiple ultra thin watches myself.
Yes, I guess divers should be excluded from this rule.
Which is of course more a general idea than a true « rule ».
Right. General idea is a better term for it.
As many Lange watches would have a hard time qualifying - although I would make an exception for the Langes.
The AE has dressy touches, which I like very much,
but it can also be worn pretty casually and intensively and I also like that (and don't mind the light scratches or hairlines which come with the intensive summer wearing).
