The Octo Finissimo Automatic from Bvlgari is the slimmest ultra-thin automatic<br />
watch right now. The 40mm sandblasted titanium case is just 5.15mm thick<br />
SIZE MATTERS<br />
Big, bold and flamboyant watches used to rule the watch world. It seemed that people believed<br />
that the bigger the watch, the more complications and features it could encapsulate. However,<br />
things have changed considerably now. Slim, small and flat cases were all the rage at Baselworld<br />
this year. Make no mistake though, these slim watches are as technically tuned as your average<br />
brawny timepiece featuring a multitude of complications<br />
The Defy El Primero 21 from Zenith is housed in a<br />
44mm case with an open dial in the aluminum version<br />
INSIDE OUT<br />
Open dial watches express the heart and soul of mechanical watchmaking like no others. While<br />

modern and edgy.<br />
