- These are the thinnest mechanical watches ever made in the world, incredible feats of micro-engineering that have slimmed down a centuries-old technology to the thickness of just a few credit cards.

Here on Andrew Morgan Watches I want to bring you all the best on watches from my personal perspective. There's watch reviews, expert reactions, top 10 lists, the best and worst of the industry and a whole bunch of memes, too. So if you like Swiss watches, German watches, Japanese watches-whatever-you'll be sure to enjoy AMW! - Zábava
“Soundblaster 64…”
That made me chuckle and wince - because I’m THAT old. 😂😂
Mem maker FTW!
“Smaller is indeed better, I can relate…” I really like the double entendre 😁
"After-dinner mint that's wafer thin" 20:15 You've got to say that with a French accent per Monty Python's "Meaning of Life!"
Slimmer than the UK’s chances at Eurovision.
Andrew, you are the only person I will listen to talking about watches in which I have absolutely no interest. Well done and amusing as usual.
My favourite references are 8:05 - Pointer Sisters "Automatic", 12:08 - Malaysia Airlines flight 370 (too soon? lol) and 20:17 - Monty Python's "Meaning of Life; Mr. Creosote". Absolute genius!
Andrews commentary is to watches what Jeremy Clarkson is to cars.
Jeremy doesn't come close.
@@roelvinckens5553 Clearly you've not read his journalism and only seen him on TV.
goddammit I hadn't seen your post when I made mine. Was gonna make mine last night but I paused halfway thru the video and came back to it today. lol.
“Clipping your toenails with a chainsaw”….😂
You haven’t seen my ER
Watch making at this level is absolutely fascinating.
"Thinness of two credit cards" would be a perfect setup for an "americans would use anything but metric" punchline, but mistaking Andrew for an american would be a crime on par with calling RM watches legible
Incredible amount of information crammed into this video. You can easily make a hundred shorts out of this single video. It's like all the technology inside the thinnest watch, but now as much info per minute. Well done..!!
Sounds like something andrew would say lol
For the record, we as Americans would be happy to claim Andrew.
As far as I am concerned, RM watch design is a war crime.
I'm mmm
Iike first and watch later! Can't go wrong with Andrew. Always brillant, even after all these years
I started doing that to Andrew and a couple of others like Russ's M.W.C... can't remember one episode I didn't like.
@@mrmagoo.3678amen and amen
Great video , it's your videos that mostly got me into watch collecting
A giant qr code on my 400.000 dollar watch dial? Yes please.
The only problem with an AM video is when it’s over and the pain of having to wait for the next one sets in.
Your Piaget club sandwich analogy is brilliant, Andrew, but now I'm hungry.
The thumbnail game is a part of the CZcams meta, but I think you should have at least a couple variations of the surprised face (as handsome as the current one is) that you use a lot. Maybe a "mildly surprised" "surprised" "full meme surprised"
Love seeing the channel continue to pick up traction, one of the best watch YT channels without a doubt!
2 credit cards for a bulgari octo finissimo ultra may be cutting it too close Andrew 😂 great vid as always
Mr. Hands is the new Jeremy Clarkson. In a good way. Love the name change btw.
"Just like rubbing your hair on a balloon, and praying it doesn't make it even thinner." Absolute gold. I miss the macro photography of Watchfinder but Andrew's amazing sense of humour has found release.
I don't want to spoil it so I won't quote him... but stay to the very end for the best punchline ever.
This channel has the exact bracket of an audience that makes it so I'm not sure if you knew exactly what you were doing by calling him "Mr. Hands" or not.
Your writing is so good, Andrew. 😂👏 “SoundBlaster64” 😂
That's a practical watch as well, you never need a coin for the shopping carts anymore...
Mate, have you been watching me fix a toilet cistern?😮
"Is that a tourbillon in your pocket, or are you just Piaget to see me"
While not the thinnest automatic watch in the world, the Eterna Golden Heart was the smallest automatic watch at one time, anyway. The top of the line had a solid 23-karat gold rotor.
You mean I am NOT supposed to trim my toenails with a chainsaw?
Brilliant as ever
About the toilet analogy, I don’t know who told you, but that was a top secret at my house! 😂
A warm blooded boulder 😂
Too many to quote from just one video
Genius and wonderful
Cheers
I tried to wear one of these when I went to my AD the last time. I wanted to know what the bulgari would feel like on the wrist, it was awkward as hell. It didn't feel like a watch, and it certainly even didn't feel like a bracelet. Frankly it didn't feel like anything at all...
JLC are next level.
Feel quite lucky to have worn and experienced a couple of the watches here, the Bulgari finissimo tourbillon, and the minute repeater. They say, each watch is made by the same watch maker from start to finish. True pieces of art. however, the most impressive watch in this video is the JLC minute repeater automatic.
Agree JLC is at another level.
Another great piece Andrew!
“A Pointers Sisters’ favourite” 👏🏻
AND a 60s Sinatra hit reference thrown in for good measure. Watch vids don't get more meta than this.
When it comes to fine imitation watches, nkuwan delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
Now confused: would wearing Bulgari and Piaget watches make one horologically cool, by association?
6:22 I feel so called out right now.
when I hear "thin watch" I think 😴💤... then I wake up and think of the Rolex Deepsea and everything seems right again.
Making a watch that is slimmer than the strap is stoopid!
The octo finissimo chronograph/gmt was looking terminally ill
"is as lost as a Malaysia airlines flight to Beijing" 😮
Only you could make that 😂
Like a cream cake..naughty but nice...
Great Video.
You just summed up the history of the chronograph in the 20th century most succinctly. Well done!
Great wit, great video.
So much information, so much references ...
Your uploads are so rich I'm not only re-watching because I love to, but also because I need to.
Nice !
Perfect writing - thank you for the quality video and laughs!
Now I would like to see a similar video regarding the thinnest quartz watches
Andrew, you’ve set the standard and you are maintaining it. Have you thought of writing a book (I mean, about watches)?
Should go with the smallest volume instead of the thinness, Bvlgari and RM are much wider in diameter against Piaget, they could shave the height because spreading the movement all over.
But one wafer thin chocolate mint is really all it takes
Getting accuracy from such a thin watch is really an achievement.
Andrew, you are #1!
Surely it would bend? I know if i had any of those watches I wouldn’t be able to stop myself trying
With 5.9 mm the IWC Romana from the 90s was for a long time the thinest perpetual calendar. Well, it was handwound, so what?
I can’t believe they have 6 figure watches being assembled with men leaning over them with flakes of skin falling into to movement.
Have you ever seen the Seiko Ultrathin 18k Quartz at 0.9mm? Saw it at the National Association of Watch Collectors in Columbia Pennsylvania. Circa 1986
Managed to forget all about the Octo, now I want it again so thanks for that, maybe I can sell 2 of my kidneys pretty sure I don't need 3 of them!
Fun fact about SF drivers' watches; Charles lost his watch and the thieve managed to escape the car chase
The Spaniard managed to catch his
So the logical decision would be to find Charles thief and replace him in the team and keep Carlos in the team saving 500M $ paid to Hamilton
That JLC goes to 11
Yeah.... so MANY times...I Hate Toilet Flush Mechanisms from the Bottom of my Hate Hole!...Mine's STILL DRIPPING!!?😮😢😢
I see what u did there about the missing plane from my country
Loved this video! The hermit's address book got me good.
"Loved"? And now anymore?
12:04 - classy.
you should have chapters per watch.
Hi Andrew, I have an idea for a yet thinner still mechanical watch that is currently at a concept stage needing some backing to fully develop. Please reach out if interested in collaborating. Thanks and keep up the good work in your new very own channel!
I see after your last video on good value watches the Farer Lethbridge sold out.
And the absolute thinnest watch was to be the elusive CST-01. Whoopin' 0,8mm! Not a mechanical watch, yes, but also not a...buyable watch at all. Failed but promising Kickscammer campaign I was really counting on (fortunately without actually backing).
Doesn't have screwdown crown. Doesn't even have a crown! No :D
Vacheron Constantine cal. 1003 - 1.64mm 70 years ago…
My swatch skin is thinner
So is the price of it.
18/48ths?
It's all well & good making the thinnest watches. How about now the thickest watches. Watches that make a brick look thin & if you try & wear it a quick trip to A+E is in order to have your wrist put into a plaster cast.
The Earl of Sandwich created 'The Club Sandwich"....!!??.. The Greatest Accomplishment of Mankind!? (Next to a Crispy Bacon Sarnie wiv Braaahhn sauce..... Obviously..Duhhh!)...I owe Him some Thanks!!........ I'm Hungry now!!😢😢
huge boomer alert
The more insane is the price,of course its a njce watch but too expensive

Look out Jeremy Clarkson
The Piaget's price is around 650000 CHF (info given by Piaget at W&W). So, yeah...
Oh ya...well Rolex has a new dial color!!!!
My time is a piece of wax falling on a termite
That's choking on the splinters
What are the top 10 most watches of the world? Or the top 10 least watches of the world?
And how much watch do you have, darling? Oh, so much watch!
If I said I made the smallest thinnest watch so small that you can’t even see it. How would Andrew Morgan prove I didn’t? 😂😂
What is "Tie-tanium" ?
I thought you were British ?
But give credit where it’s due. Andrew no longer says “ass-hole” but has now corrected it to “arse-hole”. There is light coming from the dark tunnel.
It’s about time you reviewed women’s watches?
That thing gets tweaked just a little and it’s now useless!!
Still banging on about watches? Lol
Still watching? Lol
Andrew, I would edit the video and remove the metaphor about the airplane crash, thank you
That's just unfair.
I dunno, the joke landed well with me.
You still pronouncing Bulgari wrong. Is not difficult to find out how to pronounce It. Have you ever heard of Google?
My dady bought one #nkuwan and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.
you’re literally my comfort person i love you #nkuwan !
HEY #nkuwan I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
