First things first, how thin is a thin watch? I know it sounds a bit like, 'how long is a piece of string?' But when you come to think of it, when you're buying a thin watch it's probably the most foremost interrogate you can ask. 'How thin is thin?' Well for the sake of setting a benchmark I'd say thin watches start colse to 10mm or just under 4/10ths of an inch in thickness (that's just a bit thicker than an iPod touch) and of course they get thinner (much thinner).
So why do you need a thin watch?
As with so many of the accessories we wear, a watch tells the casual observer more about you than probably your C.V. Ever will. You see in just a quick view at your wrist, your boss/bank manager/prospective partner has subconsciously assessed your character and created their impression of you. It may be totally wrong but as we all know first impressions count and if you're in an foremost situation you'll want to make a good impression. So ask yourself just one interrogate do you want to appear as sophisticated and assured with just a hint of understated refinement? Or as someone who doesn't care what they wear on their wrist as long as it tells the time in 57 separate countries and is predominately cheap. O.K. That may be a limited harsh, but I'm pretty sure you get my drift. As the old saying goes,' you are what you wear' so wear something of quality.
Why You Need to Buy a Thin WatchBut aren't they literally expensive?
It's true, until quite recently thin watches were literally the playthings of only the rich and famous. The thinner the watch the more expertise and craftsmanship was required to generate it. However, thanks to modern techniques thinner watches are ready at a fraction of the customary cost. literally you can still pay thousands of dollars for say a 'Jaeger-Le Coultre expert Ultra Thin' but there again if you shop colse to you can buy a beautiful Skagen at under .
What are the Advantages?
Well as I said before thin watches make a great impression. As Leonardo da Vinci said 'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication' and somehow a thinner watch does carry an air of sophistication and refinement upon the wearer. Also, they're kind to your shirt/blouse cuffs (unlike larger watches) and by their very nature they're literally light to wear. In fact I can literally say, most of the time you hardly know you're wearing a watch at all.
And the Disadvantages?
If you're into watches with whistles and bells then you'll probably be good off with a thicker watch. Generally speaking the more you want a watch to do (i.e. Be a chronograph, or a climatic characteristic gauge or part tidal flow) then the thicker the case has got to be.
And to be particular that's about it. 'You need to buy a thin watch' because once you've worn one, you won't want anyone else. They're unusual and eye-catching but most of all they're literally comfortable to wear and that's something I can't say about my old 'Super Duper, look-I-can-tell-the-time-in-every-city-of-the-world' digital watch - that's been relegated to the bottom of my sock drawer.
