In the dynamic world of watch lovers and enthusiasts, there\u2019s always a lot of chatter about size and dimensions. The diameter, height and length of a watch say a lot about how it will feel on the wrist. And while it might not be the only\u00a0indicative factor, there\u2019s no doubt about the importance of proportions. With that said, some watches hit the proverbial nail on the head when it comes to this all-important element, even when they throw in some added complexity for good measure. So in this week\u2019s Buying Guide<\/a>, we\u2019re putting the spotlight on five mechanically complex watches that keep things below 10mm!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Night Navigation<\/p>\n

Nomos knocked it out of the park with the Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer<\/a> earlier this year and has just released three new and exciting Night Navigation versions<\/a>. Size-wise, it\u2019s a joy to wear, with a case that\u2019s 40mm wide and 9.8mm in height. Add to that a price of EUR 3,940<\/strong>, an in-house automatic worldtimer movement and devilishly good looks, and you have a real winner on your hands! The new series captures the nighttime views of city life when flying, which seems very fitting for such a watch!<\/p>\n

The modern architectural watchmaking wonder that goes by the name of Bulgari Octo Finissimo<\/a> comes in many guises. One of the finest and most complex ones is the Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar Rose Gold<\/a>. The unusual, for gold at least, matte finishing of the case is exceptional, and is matched with a matte rose gold dial.

At an incredible 5.8mm in height for the case, it is still the thinnest mechanical QP watch in the world<\/a>. The price is set at EUR 98,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase<\/p>\n

For centuries, mankind has relied on the Moon for navigation, timekeeping and so on, so it\u2019s only natural that it\u2019s still found in modern watches. But depicting the Moon\u2019s trajectory as Earth\u2019s satellite is not easy. Piaget has beautifully incorporated it in the Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase<\/a>, which comes in at 44mm in width and 9.8mm in height. And as the name suggests, it also packs a tourbillon escapement that\u2019s mounted on one side only and visible from both sides. It is presented as a limited edition of 88 pieces and retails for EUR 113,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
