Hello dear Captain! Superb selection to answer our friend Count de Moritz challenge!! I´m specially impressed by the Octo Finissimo skeleton! I love the looks of this Bulgari design...

... and I hadn´t seen this version before. Stunning. I also love the minimalistic and classic design of Habring watches.
The Zenith may not be considered "thin" but it is an awesome watch which you managed to put under your sleeve.
Have a nice and enjoyable week end my dear friend. Cheers! Abel

WristScan 26.03. - 28.03.2021 "Watch-Limbo" is now live!
By: COUNT DE MONET : March 26th, 2021-10:10
Dear friends, it might come as a relief for some here that my teaser was wrongly giving the idea, that you would need to measure yourself. Since all here is about watches "Watch-Limbo" is asking for the slimmest watch in your collection. For a Purist a tr...

Or should that be limboing down ;-)) Hello dear Count and friends,I’m going to start with these two watches this week... My Habring slips under the (cocktail) bar at around 7mm ... But it’s beaten by the Octo Finissimo at approximately 5.37mm. But ultimat...
Thank you...

The Octo is a modern design classic in my opinion and will be with us for many years.
That Octo Finisomo is finisimoing me :-)

Good evening, dear Captain. Great thin watch to have on one's wrist, this excellent watch from the house of Bulgari. Very good to see that Bulgari has made it into serious recently. Putting on weight with a Zenith Pilot is a very good excuse ... Curious ...
Hello dear Count!! May I try Limbo play? Not an easy ...
By: Subexplorer : March 26th, 2021-18:39
Challenge as I’m a bit over weight and out of training to pass under the low bar but also because my horological preferences are generally focused in tool watches and chronos which usually have thick cases of at least 13 mm or more. Anyway I looked after ...
Very interesting, dearest Abel: all slim watches from you are vintage.
By: COUNT DE MONET : March 27th, 2021-02:50
I have seen your JLC Triple Date in real in a window once and liked it a lot. It is a lovely vintage, complicated watch. Also interesting to see that around 9 mm was the norm back in the days, but with a domed plexi! Thank you for tre inspection of your t...
Vintage heaven dear Abel ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : March 27th, 2021-03:05
I love everyone of them but particularly the dial of the Art Deco dial Zenith. Best regards The Captain

A lot! So here are two from my collection that would qualify in terms of overall thinness (under 6mm both)... SCVL002: Heritage Chronometrie Ultra Slim: And one which is thicker as a watch (curved front and back) but has the thinnest movement in my collec...
You’re too kind 😊
By: KMII : March 28th, 2021-08:09
I am sure there are much slimmer watches amongst our members 😉
Some lovely thin watches you share dear friend KM!
By: Subexplorer : March 27th, 2021-08:59
The Vacheron is your signature wstch I feel. Such a distinctive and classy design. The two other choices are beautiful too and I’m specially fond of the Montblanc. Good to view these slim pieces! Hagwe dear friend! Abel
It's full moon today....
By: halkcb : March 27th, 2021-06:17
and this BP weighs in under 10 mm at the very least...versatile for limbo? Another slim candidate---a VC with a 1003 caliber that's reasonably flat for a dress watch best henry ...
Two classic slim beauties you share here Henry!
By: Subexplorer : March 27th, 2021-09:08
I specially love the Blancpain. Of course the Vacheron is very classy and really thin and an ideal timepiece for a formal dress occasion. Thank you so much for sharing them! Hagwe! Abel
Thanks

There it is: the Altiplano 👏👏👏
By: COUNT DE MONET : March 27th, 2021-08:06
A modern watch in best traditional fashion with a super-extra flat movement. Very nice in rose gold! Your JLC is also a very clever entry: slim perpetual. All top entries, my friend!
Wow Robin! We were expecting to view an Altiplano this weekend!
By: Subexplorer : March 27th, 2021-09:18
It is incredibly thin indeed. A true horological marvel. You show it with two other beautiful watches. I’m specially fond of the JLC MUT Perpetual which I have in my wish list. Guess we have some winning shots here! Hagwe! Abel
Thank you Abel !

The bar is very high for wristscan every week Or should I saw the limbo bar is now very low for this week's wristscan lol
Already a production model since 2020
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 27th, 2021-16:57
Was a prototype back in 2018. They produce already 2 to 3 per year only due to its complexity. Some pics I took at the Piaget boutique. ...
Thank you , Abel!
By: LS : March 27th, 2021-11:59
I think it is about 4.5mm. I have calipers but I do not want to scratch the crystal with them. Here is a measurement photo with a ruler. ...
Thank you 🙏

I am very pleased with it.
These are probably the thinnest that I have:

Thanks Abel!
By: kkochheiser : March 27th, 2021-18:17
You are right, the specs I have show the Cartier at 5.1mm and the Octo at 5.15. For all that extra height you do get an extra hand and an automatic movement. I will say the Tank Louis feels thinner on my wrist, in good part due to the strap versus the ama...

I love this piece
By: Cookies : March 27th, 2021-17:06
Wow this is seldom seen or kept these days.
I only know 1 person who had this
By: Cookies : March 28th, 2021-10:02
But he traded it off last year. I think it was the blue version. He used to be a frequent member of this forum 8-10 years ago. They don’t make watches like these anymore...it’s so bold, so different.
No pressure, dear Art.
By: COUNT DE MONET : March 27th, 2021-13:35
We would have loved to see that picture, but your Gėneve is more thean making up for that.
No one was more relieved . . .

Thanks, it's a keeper ;-)
By: Tim Jackson : March 27th, 2021-14:42
Good theme this week, most of my watches are not in the thin category, had to really think before I remembered this one in the lurking safe. Cheers, Tim
Wowwww!

That is gorgeous! Kent

Hi A couple of my slimmer watches. Swatch Skin 4mm of nothing Or Nomos Tangente 6mm of German engineering. Currently away at the spa. Cheers JML ...
"Will the real slim shady please stand up!" 😀
By: COUNT DE MONET : March 28th, 2021-02:17
Like that nickname, which is absolutely fitting for this formidable watch. Is this my favourite modern slim watch in this competition 🤔? Very well played, mazizata.
Thank you all.
By: mazizata : March 28th, 2021-09:22
I may get the SS version. It is a unique design..
Aha, the first Swatch in this competition.
By: COUNT DE MONET : March 28th, 2021-02:09
It has got a nice wrist presence and great colours. The Tangente is truely a very suitable ambassador of German watch enginneering. Like it a lot!
