Cartier Tank à Guichets Privé 26mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 26 mm case suggests

Cartier Tank à Guichets Privé 26mm measures 37 mm lug-to-lug on a 26 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.42 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 95% of the 8,093 watches in this database and shorter than 68% of the 193 Cartier watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 42 mm (1.65 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 50 mm (1.97 in) it starts to look compact. Below 37 mm (1.46 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
