In 2022, two brands successively broke the world record for the thinnest mechanical watch. On March 28, Bulgari launched the Octo Finissimo Ultra watch with a thickness of only 1.80 mm, breaking the previous record of 2.00 mm set by Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept and becoming the thinnest mechanical watch at the same time. The 40 mm octagonal case of the Octo Finissimo Ultra is crafted from titanium and features the popular one-piece bracelet design and is sandblasted. The most distinctive design on the dial is the QR code on the barrel, which provides the watch owner with access to the exclusive digital world. And each watch is also accompanied by a separate NFT to ensure authenticity https://www.gdwatchclone.ru.
However, Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra's thinnest title lasted only a few months, and the record was soon broken by Richard Mille's RM UP-01 Ferrari at 1.75mm. The watch was jointly created by Richard Mille and Ferrari. In addition to the amazing thickness of 1.75mm, it also adopts a new patented ultra-thin escapement structure, which can withstand acceleration shocks of up to 5,000g. The thickness of the RM UP-01 Ferrari movement is only 1.18 mm, the weight is 2.82 grams, and the power reserve can reach 45 hours.
The movement is equipped with a new escapement structure of titanium alloy balance wheel, which greatly reduces the thickness of the movement while ensuring the same safety as the traditional Swiss anchor escapement structure. The design of the double crown is used for function selection, and the other will be used for the adjustment of the selected function, both of which are integrated into the case as movement gears. As a result, the RM UP-01 Ferrari has become the thinnest mechanical watch in the world so far.
