Gerald Charles Masterlink Perpetual Calendar 40mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 40 mm case suggests

Gerald Charles Masterlink Perpetual Calendar 40mm measures 40 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.00 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 92% of the 8,093 watches in this database and shorter than 83% of the 18 Gerald Charles watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 45 mm (1.77 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 54 mm (2.13 in) it starts to look compact. Below 40 mm (1.57 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 10 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 82% of the watches with a listed thickness.
