This year, if you judge by sheer lack of size, Piaget won the round with the world’s thinnest hand-wound mechanical watch. But the comparison is not always apples to apples, and Bvlgari landed a dazzling combination of its own by pairing a one-two punch of high complications within wafer-thin proportions. Here, the skinny on the brands’ latest rounds of downsizing.
