Schwarz Etienne 1902 Petite Seconde 39mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 39 mm case size

Schwarz Etienne 1902 Petite Seconde 39mm measures 45 mm lug-to-lug on a 39 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.15 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 70% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 50 mm (1.97 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 60 mm (2.36 in) it starts to look compact. Below 45 mm (1.77 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 10.9 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 25% of the watches with a listed thickness.
