Curved watch case side - Who else makes them ?
All the watches that I have slabs on each side of the case. Curved sides would be interesting but the one in the video is a little pricey.
Who makes watches with these type of cases today ?
Here is a link to the video where I took the screen shot.

My Seiko Luxe Presage Arita porcelain dial watch has moderately curved sides. It's one of my favorite features of it. I'll see if I can find a side photo to post. It was $1850. Pictures added.
Do you explicitly want hinged? How do you feel about vintage?
Seiko Alpinist. Or Grand Seiko SBGW231. The Alpinist is the first picture.
I think it's a bit of an older style that isn't as popular these days. Here's a company that makes some...

I don't have one, so I cannot vouch for them personally, but I've read good reviews about them.

No, not necessary hinged.
Vintage, maybe.
I have seen this model last year but I do not remember the side being curved :(
Vaer has curved cases on lots of models.
Rolex Oyster cases (OPs, DJs and DDs) have curved sides. Most high end dress watches - Omega De Ville, IWC Portofino, Zenith Elite - have curved sides. What little side Junghans Max Bills have is curved.
Farer’s 3 hander and GMT lines have some curvature.
Franck muller 90s chronographs like the 7000cc
Seiko Skx and most of the Seiko 5 line
Vario 1918
Shinola
The Timex Marlin has a UFO case.

Was about to post exactly the same !
The LF Galet and Galet classic square , De Buthane , Moser , ALS , their all expensive if the case needs to be prepared like a Porsche or Ferrari, smooth clean curves cost a bomb .
