I had no idea such engineering marvels existed. Stunning watch!
Rather better looking and more functional than Richard Mille's 'credit card', too.

Goes nice with my wafer thin ham sandwich....

I tried its predecessor, the titanium version, at Heathrow when it was first released and was blown away. The most incredible watch I had ever worn. It has been a grail ever since. Supremely light and comfortable on the wrist such that you hardly know it is there, yet an amazing presence. I could watch that movement all day.
Donations to the Wolff watch fund gratefully received!
These are some of the most exciting things in horology; really wish we saw more proper ultra thins in general catalogues, but I guess demand isn’t there the way it used to be.

Thank y oh for sharing! I really enjoyed it!
My thinnest watch is 2mm and cost about £100 so I'm not sure it's worth another £0.5m to shave 0.3mm. But a great achievement nonetheless.
A bit like high performance engines I suppose, that last 0.5% of bhp costs oodles of £ and who knows how much time and computer capacity.
