Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Chronographe Rétrograde 26mm
270.2.69
How it wears
Wears larger than its 26 mm case suggests
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Chronographe Rétrograde 26mm measures 42 mm lug-to-lug on a 26 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.62 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 86% of the 8,093 watches in this database and shorter than 74% of the 74 Jaeger-LeCoultre watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 47 mm (1.85 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 56 mm (2.20 in) it starts to look compact. Below 42 mm (1.65 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
