Again to small-watch discuss (which is pervasive). At instances, I really feel that we live underneath a one-size-fits-all regime. And I really feel a weighted stress to maintain all private preferences to myself. “That small watch appears to be like nice on you… and me… and each individual on this room that has tried it on,” I say by way of an clearly faux toothy grin. As a result of thou shalt not condemn a watch fanatic’s proper to decide on!
In moments like these, the place the collective innate sense of what appears to be like good has evaporated into the political ether, we should flip to manufacturers like Cartier for the answer. They current us with an Américaine in three sizes, all of that are just about equivalent aesthetically (bar the plain case dimensions). A alternative between massive, small, and mini is the 2024 equal of democracy within the watch area. Whereas watch sizing and minis are a buzzy subject at present, Cartier has been providing totally different sizes of its watches for nearly 100 years. And we do not actually know if the smallest of any mannequin was technically “for ladies.”
