How thin is thin
Men's watches are generally considered thin once their case height drops below nine millimetres. Extra-thin models stay under seven millimetres, and some manufacture calibres even come in below four. This is achieved through particularly thin mainplates, small barrels and in some cases off-centre or micro-rotors that sit beside rather than above the movement.
What this means on the wrist
A thin watch slides under a shirt cuff without adding bulk – the main reason this format belongs with a suit. The proportions also look more balanced on a slimmer wrist. By design, extra-thin movements are somewhat more sensitive to hard knocks; for the office and formal occasions, this makes no difference.
