Watchmaker squarestreet has crafted the 'Plano' timepiece as a watch of detailed precision and elegance.

The 'Plano' timepiece is squarestreet's [thinnest watch ever made](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bvlgari-octo-finissimo-ultra-tourbillon). The 'Plano' has a 36 mm watch face and stands only 6.7 mm tall. The watch boasts 42 months of runtime before needing a new battery. The face of the timepiece is elegantly designed with precision timekeeping being a priority. The watch has three hands to keep precise time, as well as a date read out. The watch is waterproof to 10 atm, so a swim in a pool won't damage the watches ability to keep time.

The 'Plano' timepiece has an eggshell dial, and the choice of [nine different colored wristbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaegerlecoultre-ultrathin). The elegantly designed and precision-based timepiece will be a wonderful addition to any watch lover's collection.
