It all started at SIHH in 2014, after the successful release of the Altiplano 900P, then the world’s thinnest watch, when one of the marketing team joked with the technical team that they “should make a thinner one for next year.” The comment, in passing, did its intended job of winding up the people who’d worked so hard to make the 900P-but it also did something else, sowing a seed of thought in their minds. What if they could make a watch even thinner?

The whole premise of the video is that noone has ever tried to make a watch that thin. While appreciating the craftsmanship and the beauty of that masterpiece I can not agree that it's the first of its kind. There was a soviet manufacturer "Raketa" (rocket) that is known for manufacturing the watch called "Rekord" (record) somewhere around early 60's. It had a thickness of 2,7 mm while also having a second hand. The Rekord that is still unbeaten today.

It just lays there waiting for the day I go to a watch repair. I just lost my entire cool and gave in.

I really wonder if this watch does bend when you actually wear it. It seems so fragile. I can barely imagine it to be suitable for every day use.

Considering they smacked it with a hammer, I'd say they thought about it. But I understand where you're coming from. 2mm anything is exceptionally thin.

While the Jean Lassale cal. 1200 bends with its case. The piaget is manufactured with strength of modern materials in mind so the chances of it bending is low.

I don’t really think this is an everyday use kinda watch. That form comes with compromises, the winding mechanism was mentioned. And although they found a solution to the excessive wear, I’m sure I probably still wears faster than your average watch. It’s engineered to be robust enough. But in relative terms I guess. I’d probably keep it for occasional use.

Truly magnificent piece of horological genius, unsure how practical it maybe, but there is no rhyme or reason to climbing Everest or going to the South or North Pole. So because of overcoming the adversity and challenges this watch represents to its makers I can truly appreciate what it has taken to have a watch this thin.

I would be interested to see the timekeeping report on one of these to see how far off the delta is from a more moderately proportioned movement. I would think that the thin mechanicals would be much harder to balance which could introduce some instability and influence the delta.
@creightonkling9901
@creightonkling9901 3 года назад
You say the movement is sealed when the crystal is placed on. How do they get the crystal off, then? Does that mean the watch can't be serviced?
@jonnysteve_RF

They have tools to remove the crystal, for example when it was glued on with too much adhesive.

Extremely impressive, but do they have to crack the crystal off every time it's serviced then? It would have to be a full tear down to clean out the adhesive channels just to re-seal it... I guess I'm missing the point.

Nicks no I don’t think so. But to use your Mona Lisa analogy you wouldn’t put the Mona Lisa in storage, you’d put it on display. It may be very expensive and delicate, so you’d need to take security precautions and it would require climate control. But it’s art, and I for one think art is made to be seen, not just owned. Similarly, this watch is a mechanical marvel. It’s delicate and expensive but it’s the worlds thinnest watch. So it should be worn. I’m not saying it’s a beater watch, or even one you’d wear regularly. But you should wear it, that’s what it was made for. A watch is a portable clock, that is its whole purpose. A watch you can’t wear is like a watch that doesn’t tell the time. It’s not a watch. No you wouldn’t carry the Mona Lisa with you but paintings aren’t portable by design.
