H. Moser & Cie. Heritage Tourbillon 42mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42 mm case suggests

H. Moser & Cie. Heritage Tourbillon 42mm measures 48 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.14 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 63% of the 8,054 watches in this database and longer than 50% of the 38 H. Moser & Cie. watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 54 mm (2.13 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 64 mm (2.52 in) it starts to look compact. Below 48 mm (1.89 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
