WristScan 26.03. - 28.03.2021 "Watch-Limbo" is now live!
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...
Great theme Count, looking forward to seeing the watches (and brands) that will win this week! I just hope none of our members has the 2mm Piaget Altipiano yet, otherwise it's going to be a real landslide! ;-)
Here's for you two watches I rarely show, which most probably take the cake in my collection when it comes to thinness: First, a very simple Patek 5119R, but one which is very dear to my heart as my first Patek ever (bought in May 2008)! And then this Jae...
That is funny: I bought my first (and only Patek 😢) also in 2008
Your elegant JLC surely needs more wrist time. Just make very day a special day to wear it. 😀
Great theme my friend .
My thinnest watch will be my Corum And the Tudor P01 will be my biggest and highest one HAGWE ...
Thin, yes but with a great presence on your wrist 👌
You are doing the limbo from around 9 - 13 mm, my friend 😀. A good weekend to you, too!
Definitely -- and I hope and pray we can reach that point sooner rather than later, given that we are well over a year into this insanity! ;-))
I'm still hoping to go back to Italy this summer, finally see parents, family and friends, and also enjoy again a good life there...but the endless restrictions in the UE, the (obvious) delays with the vaccines, and the level of "acceptance" that many peo...
Very well played, dear yacomino!
You know your numbers and make a good figure out of them: that pocket shot of your 422 is exquiisite ...
Beautiful Up Down Lange to answer the Theme dear Yacomino.
The 422 not thin but a beautiful Pam which well deserves your love! Hagwe! Abel
Just limbering up ...
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 ...
Good evening (just) dear Count ...
I’m enjoying your challenge this weekend, just hoping my back is up to it ! m.youtube.com
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 enjoyab...
Ha ha ha! Of course! That Zenith is fantastic!!
Keep enjoying these superb watches so much my friend! Cheers! Abel
Hello dear Count!! May I try Limbo play? Not an easy ...
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.
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...
Thank you so much for your kind comments and compliments on my choice for this week end dear Count. A very challenging theme indeed.
Agree with you that 9 mm is a surprising thickness considering the present trends to bigger and thicker watches. And that size includes a domed glass!! Also diameter was much contained at around 34/35 mm though there are exceptions of course. The JLC Trip...
Vintage heaven dear Abel ...
I love everyone of them but particularly the dial of the Art Deco dial Zenith. Best regards The Captain
Thanks a lot for your kind comments dear Captain! Glad you like my choices. The Zenith is among my favorites. A very interesting dial which is very difficult to shoot due to the many reflexes...
... of its domed plexi. Hagwe my dear friend. Abel
Same here dear Captain. It was a big surprise...
... to discover it some years ago. Agree that this is part of the joy of vintage. Cheers! Abel
Thank you so much dear Tony for your kind compliments.
Please receive my cordial regards my dear friend! Abel
Muchas gracias mi amigo Nicolas!! Glad you...
... liked my slim collection! Abrazos! Abel
There's some serious metal there!
Blue dialed Rolex & JLC calendar are standouts for me. Cheers JML
Aaah there it is: the first Nautilus in the conpetition
The bar is very low for divers now 🔥. I would think the Nautilus and the Seiko are almost of the same thickness 🤔
A theme I like...
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 are the top liimbo man so far 😉
Very well played and good to see slim modern pieces. HAGWE.
Some lovely thin watches you share dear friend KM!
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....
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!
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
Fun Theme . . .
and a lot of great choices here -- I love the vintage dress pieces. Funny thing, tonight my wife is taking me out for the first time in over a year and it is to celebrate my birthday. I was already thinking about strapping on my JLC Master Ultra Thin and ...
Happy Birthday Jim! How nice you are able to...
... celebrate it with your wife. Your JLC UT is a great choice for this occasion. Hope you’ll enjoy your dinner so much and you’ll take a picture of your watch to share with us. Best wishes and cordial regards Abel
Here’s a view down the barrel of the Jubilee on my night stand:
The watch may be thinner than the strap; I am not sure! ...
4.05mm — maybe not the winner in this crowd . . .
. . . but still mighty thin! I wore it to my birthday dinner tonight where my kids brought a carrot cake to the restaurant because it’s my fave— ...
My Piaget Altiplano 900P
3.65mm thin Beaten by the new Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept at 2mm thin of course. A side profile. Some of my other thin watches are the JLC MUT perpetual and Cartier Tank Louis Cartier Ultra Thin (powered by Piaget's 430P movement) And some pics of t...
There it is: the Altiplano 👏👏👏
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!
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
Indeed
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
