Louis Erard 2340 40mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 40 mm case suggests

Louis Erard 2340 40mm measures 41.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.04 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 89% of the 8,054 watches in this database and shorter than 90% of the 30 Louis Erard 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 41.5 mm (1.63 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 8.95 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 89% of the watches with a listed thickness.
