Jacob & Co. Godfather II 42mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42 mm case suggests

Jacob & Co. Godfather II 42mm measures 44 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.05 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 78% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 59 mm (2.32 in) it starts to look compact. Below 44 mm (1.73 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
