Possibly the Thinnest Swiss Movement watch... The World has Never Known
Linjer (pronounced as 'Linear') was a fund raising project by a jewellery company in Indiegogo back in 2014 - 2017 by Co-founders Jennifer Chong & Roman Khan.
Aiming to provide great quality watches n jewellery 'between fast fashion n luxury items'. Their watches provide great value, quality, Swiss movements (quartz or automatic ETA) at affordable prices. Case in point, the Linjer Chrono-Diver (first pic above).
When I first handled the watch, the quality it gave me was top notch. Hefty feel, removable solid metal bracelets witha Diver's extension, solid end links, decent n simple dials... If not for the words Swiss Quartz on the back cover I'd thought it was an automatic.
My friend let me try it on n the feel was that if a watch built more for the 1000 bucks category, easily. N the bezel action was Beautifully clicky.
Premium clicky even. 😁
I'm hunting for this now... 😁
Just an amateur watch nerd who never believes that good watches had to be expensive... Just like good tasting food... 😁
"Thinnest ETA 2824-2 watch" 🙄
No offense, but this distinction is like "roadster with the highest towing capacity". If you want towing capacity, don't buy an open top sports car; and if you want a thin watch, don't buy one with a tall movement like ETA 2824.

Yes, I agree that that 'distinction' may seem oxymoronic. 😁 Though we can't fault them for trying to make the 'best watch they can'...
Some Swiss watchmakers are still considering shaving off some thinness an achievement, so 8.4mm with an ETA movement could be considered one as well in this instance. 😁
I prefer thicker watches but would definitely rock the chronograph

I believe that the ETA dress watch is the one witha 8.4mm case thickness, the Chrono-Diver I handled seems thicker though I didn't measure it... 🤔
But the heft of the case n the heavy metal bracelets were pretty well made... Almost made me felt that it was an automatic... 😁
They make a great watch to be fair. Mine is a quartz and I've recently fallen in love with wearing it again after going through a very mechanical phase. My pal has an automatic of theirs (we bought them both on kickstarter a few years back - mine's the blue dial) and he says it's great too.

Simple yet classy eh? 😊

Yes exactly, nice touches with the colour matched date wheel for example. The crown on mine I really like too.
Hadn't seen the Chrono diver till I saw your post, looks good 👍

Oh yes, now that you mentioned the matching colour date wheel n the crown... That made me realise I missed mentioning those in my intro... Even some 3000 bucks watches get those wrong... 😁 🤣😂 As for the quartz Chrono-Diver? When I handled it... It felt lika... At least 1000+ bucks automatic watch. 😉

The ETA 2824 isn't that thick and thinner movements have downsides. It's incompetence on the end of case makers why modern watches are so thick. The Linjer is also 11.6mm with the glass if you believe Ben

A 2892 is just 1mm thinner, so you gotta go quartz, manual or $$$ if you want it to be much thinner, but we can totally make reasonably "thin" watches with a 2824. Under 10mm, including the glass, with good water resistance is definitely possible. Here is an example.

I don't know 🤔
Yeah well done swiss watches👏🏻👏🏻 But #nomos offers 200M water resistance with 8.5mm thickness for 39mm case. Too late swiss watches too late 😂😂 I would sacrifice that 0.1mm easily for 200M WR😎😎
