Tank Louis Cartier Mini 16.5mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 16.5 mm case suggests

Cartier Tank Louis Cartier Mini 16.5mm measures 24 mm lug-to-lug on a 16.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.45 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 100% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 98% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 27 mm (1.06 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 32 mm (1.26 in) it starts to look compact. Below 24 mm (0.94 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 6.2 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 99% of the watches with a listed thickness.
