Big Design, Small Footprint: The Maen Manhattan 37 Ultra-Thin
Maen Watches has expanded its Manhattan collection with the new Manhattan 37 Ultra-Thin, a refined addition that blends minimalist design with a slim profile and high-quality mechanics. This latest release builds on the brand’s vision of delivering accessible luxury with a focus on design precision and finishing.
Compact Dimensions with a Refined Profile
The Manhattan 37 Ultra-Thin features a 37 mm case diameter, a 47.40 mm lug-to-lug length, and an impressively slim 7.10 mm thickness. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the case retains the angular architecture of the Manhattan line, with both brushed and polished surfaces enhancing the interplay of light on its geometric silhouette.
Despite its dress-oriented dimensions, the watch offers 100 meters (10 ATM) of water resistance, making it suitable for daily wear beyond the office. A flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating ensures clarity and scratch resistance, while the octagonal signed crown blends aesthetic symmetry with ease of operation.
Hammered Dial Finishes Inspired by the 1990s
In contrast to previous Manhattan models that utilized vertical striping, the Ultra-Thin series debuts a hammered “Tuscan” dial texture, a nod to a decorative style popular in the late 20th century. The textured surface shifts subtly under changing light, offering visual depth across four color options: Midnight Blue, Forest Green, Salmon, and Ghost Grey.
Dial details include applied hour markers and luminescent Super-LumiNova C1 X1 accents for optimal legibility. A sub-seconds dial sits above 6 o’clock, framed by a raised minute track, while faceted hands match the polish and luminous treatment of the indexes.
Powered by a Manual-Wind ETA 7001 Elaboré
At the heart of the Manhattan 37 Ultra-Thin is the ETA 7001 Elaboré, a slim, hand-wound mechanical movement chosen for its compact profile and time-tested reliability. With a 42-hour power reserve and a 21,600vph beat rate, this Swiss caliber enables the watch to maintain its ultra-thin form without compromising mechanical integrity.
Visible through the exhibition case back, the movement is adorned with Côtes de Genève finishing and blued screws, while the outer caseback features alternating brushed and blasted textures alongside model-specific engravings.
Integrated Steel Bracelet
An integrated three-link bracelet completes the streamlined aesthetic. Equipped with a concealed push-button folding clasp, the bracelet uses screw-in links ensuring ease of adjustment and durability.
Pricing and Availability
The Maen Manhattan 37 Ultra-Thin is available for pre-order at € 1,079.20 (excluding VAT). The model represents a well-balanced proposition for those seeking a vintage-inspired, mechanically driven timepiece with contemporary build quality and finish.
