Innovations in luxury and slim watch design

Overview

Watch brands are increasingly focusing on specialized aesthetic and mechanical innovations, specifically in the realms of ultra-slim profiles and unique mechanical movements.

Initial developments saw brands like UNDONE and BERING emphasizing slimness, with UNDONE releasing a 4.9mm customizable model and BERING offering a 7mm minimalist design. Simultaneously, VIXA introduced the ‘VIXA RACING SUPER SPEED’, a mechanical automatic watch featuring a skeleton structure and a dial inspired by supercar brake discs.

Subsequent releases have expanded into complex luxury designs. Harry Winston debuted the Opus 14, a jukebox-inspired timepiece featuring a patented miniature mechanism with four display panels for time, GMT, date, and star indicators. In the slim mechanical category, ZEROO released the M6 UFO, an 11mm thick manual-wind watch with a tonneau-shaped case and a skeleton dial featuring a guilloché-style pyramid pattern.
