The trend of ultra-thin wristwatches

12/03/2014

In 2014, fashion enthusiasts and watch collectors could witness the emergence of new watches with ultra-thin and compact designs. Will this trend cause concern for brands that produce larger, more substantial watches (as we are used to seeing)?

 

1. Cartier Tortue

The Cartier Tortue's design is quite similar to the original models the brand launched in the 1920s. This model comes in both medium and small versions. In the medium version, the watch measures 39 mm in length, smaller than the average wrist size. The new design will be released in June, with prices ranging from $11,900 to $145,000.

2. IWC Aquatimer

The IWC Aquatimer collection, priced from $5,750, will launch this spring. The collection represents IWC's efforts to expand its dive watch market.

3. Roger Dubuis Hommage Double Flying Tourbillon

Watches with a double tourbillon mechanism, like the Hommage version, are a part of Roger Dubuis' history. This design style continues in the Roger Dubuis Hommage Double Flying Tourbillon, priced at $30,800. What sets this model apart from the traditional version is the use of a completely modern rotating movement.
