Independent Atelier Project Tai Yu 35mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 35 mm case suggests

Independent Atelier Project Tai Yu 35mm measures 46 mm lug-to-lug on a 35 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.31 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 60% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 52 mm (2.05 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 62 mm (2.44 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46 mm (1.81 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
