Patrick, I had you in mind when I wrote this, in fact if I'd known how I'd have published it under your byline
I checked on the Bulgari before you posted - the thinnest is about 5.25mm but most of them are 6.95 or thicker.
Certainly with thin watches, the larger the diameter the more they feel like a dinner plate strapped to your wrist. There are several Ultra-Thin models I've tried that are too large.
I think maybe Piaget is the winner for thinner across their product lines. This "Ultimate" is only 2mm thick! but it's 41mm in diameter.
Their "regular" model is 6 mm -- and by that standard mine are looking pretty thin. Too thin leads to fragility, and trouble, something no gent wants from his watch.
Thin Watches for Gentlemen?
During my recent walks with Seikos I wore every Seiko I owned when the project started, and another twenty or so that I borrowed, shopped for, and/or purchased. In the process, I came across a number of what I would like to call GENTLEMEN'S watches. NOTE:...
Undoubtedly a beauty! Worth overlooking that extra mm or so of thickness from the guilloché work on the dial
Or perhaps it's the protective bezel around the outer edge. Cheers, Cazalea
I concur, watches for gentlemen should never be too thick nor too big.
Ideally a gentleman's watch should be under 40mm (exceptions can be made here); as a gentleman shouldn't conspicuously check the time too often (it's an insult to the host that the party is boring) and a smaller watch is less conspicuous in my logic. And ...

I don't disagree... That Bulgari is a whole different animal... It's a sportier Ultra Thin Watch that's going for a modern aesthetic...
Most traditional watch brands are very traditional and very classic. The less traditional ones are SUPER modern. Like MB&F and URWERK, they make things that look like they came from the future where space travel exists. Piaget models are become so thin th...
Not quite thin, but here’s a rare one: Credor by Genta
Or so it is claimed. I haven’t researched it fully yet. Cazalea ...
Very nice group; I would add something with an AP 2120/Vacheron 1120 movement.
The only one I have at this time has a date, so I am disqualified.
