Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Malte Tourbillon Tribute to Haussmannian Style 38mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 38 mm case suggests

Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Malte Tourbillon Tribute to Haussmannian Style 38mm measures 41.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.09 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 89% of the 8,054 watches in this database and shorter than 79% 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 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 12.7 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 59% of the watches with a listed thickness.
