The Twelve 38mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 38 mm case suggests

Christopher Ward The Twelve 38mm measures 43.3 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.14 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 83% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 82% of the 382 Christopher Ward watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 58 mm (2.28 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.3 mm (1.70 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 85% of the watches with a listed thickness.
