Christopher Ward The Twelve 36

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 36 mm case suggests

Christopher Ward The Twelve 36 measures 40.8 mm lug-to-lug on a 36 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.13 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 91% of the 8,054 watches in this database and shorter than 96% of the 383 Christopher Ward watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 46 mm (1.81 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 55 mm (2.17 in) it starts to look compact. Below 40.8 mm (1.61 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 9.95 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 83% of the watches with a listed thickness.
