Horological Meandering

Hi Everyone...Would like you to chime in what do you think of the size of this watch on my wrist? Do you think it is a balance size or a bit big or any other opinions?

But height can always be a factor i.e. thickness and case shape.

The watch is about 10.5mm in height. Is that consider thick or good size? I'm checking on LF and T30 height at the moment too. Good advise.
So a flatter watch will make it look bigger or smaller?

Firstly well done on the Eichi, one of the best kept secrets in horology - a watch with such fine finishing and almost a bargain compared to some of the other finely finished watch brands.

I look at the wrist from the buckle side and the lugs definitely do not stick out. It is within the top wrist surface with probably 1 mm spare on each side. It's just hard to find a T30 or LF to try here, though I remember fondly trying a T30 for a min and few really good on the wrist.

are superb watches but you really must try them on. It is not just the size at the end of the day but how each watch personally appeals to you once it is on your wrist. All the best!

both tourbillons are wonderful and that's why I focus on just the size part. The last thing I want is to get the watch and then feel the watch is too big...haha

for a dress watch it is the maximum for your wrist, but still looks fine. Nice watch by the way!

It's hard for that watch to not look good. I think this is a good old size for you, and this watch deserves to be either bold or subtle on the wrist. Hopefully that makes sense.

This watch seems just nice on my wrist and that's why I'm wondering if the LF or the T-30 will be ok too.

will be too big?

And remember, it is always a matter of taste. I just happen to like modest sizes.

This watch makes your wrist look small and thin, which it is, and that is the effect you want to avoid. Its like a fat guy wearing a horizontal striped dress shirt or a short man wearing an ill fitting suit with the sleeves too long and pant hems dragging on the ground.
The effect is particularly bad with this watch because its a dress watch which should wear proportionally smaller and the expansive white dial and thin bezel just overwhelm your wrist.
The lug overhang rule is a watch guy rule and not a style guy rule. What matters is how a watch affects the appearance of your wrist, arm, and along with your clothing, your overall style.

I probably would not go any bigger. Great watch!

I think this watch when worn with long sleeve will appear smaller. RIght now it is just my naked arm and the watch, hence it feels bare. Compare to a Richard Lange, this watch is about 1.5mm smaller. I do believe LF wears smaller than RL even though it is 41mm and T-30 wears smaller than RL, base on my memory.

You should try the LF 'properly attired'.

but as you know, LF and T-30 are kinda like UFOs. Hard to find them to try.

if you want to go big size for small wrist its got to be a small version of a big watch like the 42mm PAM337 radiomir with the wire lugs or 39mm archimede flieger pilot which would look proportionally sized on your wrist like the 47mm radiomir and 46mm iwc big pilot looks on a 180mm circumference size wrist.
for dress watches Lange makes a 35mm saxonia and 37mm saxonia thin. The 35mm saxonia is perfect for your wrist.

will definitely fit my wrist . I don't really need a dress watch as I don't really dress up . I'm into watches that have the right history and great movement, something that can stir my heart. For Eichi, I have tried the Eichi 1 and it is 35mm and wear larger than saxonia. It fits well on the wrist like any other small watches but it looks wrong. The dial screams to want to to be bigger to make sense. For Eichi 2, I will be even happier if it is a 38mm BUT when I try to imagine the dial 1 mm smaller, I become uncertain about it. I would daringly say that the team behind Eichi 2 had put in concerted effort to come to the perfect size and proportion for the watch that it literally allows no room to change anything. I know design very well . This is not a case where the watch is too big or too small on my wrist. I think it is a case where the watch is perfectly spot on strapping on my wrist. We are used to smaller or bigger but when things are right one, it confuses us sometimes . I have no problem with the Eichi size, nte that photo also make the watch look bigger. My problem is with LF and T-30 as I love them but not sure if my wrist can handle them. I would love to try them

Good to know that you think it works .
Do you think base on this, the LF and the Journe T-30 will work as well?

Hi John,

I have tried a 40 CS before and it doesn't fit well on my wrist but when I briefly try the T30 on my wrist, it somehow looks good. Then again, it was too brief to make a sound conclusion. There are so many wonderful watches out there that are too big for the small wrist group...sigh. Good thing is it seriously limit my spending

I think your wrists could take a bigger watch with no concerns

Patek 5105. It's the ultimate rectangular watch . Really love the concept and the look. I think it's even better than the Patek tourbillon. Hope you still have yours. If you ever want to sell yours, please ask me first

It is 46mm in length but wears much smaller
Great choice just like 2526

Ur Credor looks the same on my wrist. The 41mm LF might look a bit big.
I have a 39mm LF tourb (jpn version). Good size but feels thick in relation to the width. I also have a 41mm LF micro(yes 41 not a mistake) and felt it was big but still wearable. Proportion looks strange to me though. IMO the best size is the LF in 40mm but I don't think the tourb comes in that size.
