American 1921 J.E. Caldwell 1919 Auction Example 32mm
American 1921 J.E. Caldwell 1919 Example
How it wears
Wears larger than its 32 mm case suggests
Vacheron Constantin American 1921 J.E. Caldwell 1919 Auction Example 32mm measures 42 mm lug-to-lug on a 32 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.31 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 86% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 68% of the 34 Vacheron Constantin 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.
