London Tank L.C. Medium 21mm
London Tank LC Medium
How it wears
Wears larger than its 21 mm case suggests
Cartier London Tank L.C. Medium 21mm measures 28 mm lug-to-lug on a 21 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.33 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 99% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 94% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 32 mm (1.26 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 38 mm (1.50 in) it starts to look compact. Below 28 mm (1.10 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
