Friendly competition keeps things interesting in the watch world—and occasionally leads to vaguely unsettling arms races. The thinnest watch. The most complicated watch. The deepest dive watch fabricated entirely from sea slug slime. Things like that. But this year’s edition of Watches & Wonders has seen even more world records than usual—and impressive ones, at that. To wit: The race for the world’s thinnest watch continues apace. Back in the spring of 2022, Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo Ultra...
