What is the next "black" of watch size?
I tend to see a trend that the big watches time is on a slow down, and I may even see a trend where the "smaller" watches is
becoming more and more the trend.
I think that we will see that the classic "simple" watches will regain a
strong position in the years to come - and the trend of big watches see
a slow down.
Where does "my knowledge" come from - I comes from the fashion trend see
around me - from shoes, clothes, and interior deco. The trend is back
to the simple basic look.
Less is More.
So I think that I will keep my simple watches - they will receive more and more wrist time ;-)

It is difficult to guess where the trend will lead us, Jan.
From what I see, smaller watches are back, for sure, but big watches are far from being dead. But I agree with you, there will always be a place for timeless watches, being black, silver, or white dialed. Your examples are well chosen, my friend. Best, Ni...
Funny you should say that...
I've been sensing the same too... i.e ., a growing preference for more traditional (i.e., smaller) case sizes. I would except from that the bargain-basement stuff that the TV watch sellers peddle (their '$199.95 bling' goes to 55 mm or higher in case size...
same in here mate
the first i opened my eyes as an adult to high end watches and to watch collecting size was the bigger the better , but then as i matured and the more time passes and knowledge i gain i find my self lurching for watches between 37 mm - 47 mm is what i cal...
+ 1 agree with you...
I can't wear watches larger than 40mm anymore. I cant believe that I did for nearly 10 years. S
With those classics on your wrist, Jan...
...you need not worry at all what size is in fashion, as you wills always have the "correct' size watch on your wrist. Those are both great pieces that have withstood the tests of time and changing fashions. And beautifully photographed to boot. But as fo...
The answer is in China
Mode is 40 mm diameter round watches. As all investment in future design is biased towards China and Asia, the round and classic sizes will predominate. The preference in China is for round and sensible size. The recesson has also pulled everyone back to ...
All good points, MTF
These are very interesting thoughts, indeed, and certainly a few points I had not thought of. I happen to agree with what Mr. Stern said about considering a watch for a lifetime and the wearability of watches at age 70 or 80. It is one of the consideratio...
We are all influeced by trends...
and I think there is room in ones collection for a big diver, a crazy celestial,a chrono with presence,a ulta thin,a perfect dress watch,a chunky repeater,a lovely moon phase etc etc..........whats the harm? By the way that is my wish collection....betwee...
Funny, Mo...
Your wish list looks like mine. I agree with you, by the way. Surprising? Best, my friend. Nicolas
I know my dear....

You still have 17 posts to do it...
It will be a great way to announce this mysterious watch you are teasing us with... Although I have a small idea, well two small ideas, as I hesitate between 2. Best, Nicolas
You are too clever therefore...
out of the guessing games.....Now I have to save my posts...I 'll be travelling soon ...very soon...hi hiiiiiiiii! Mo
between 38 and 42 fits on every wrist
44 and 46 or even bigger is another story. If you like big watches, fine. But I don't think the manufacturers (except AP and Panerai) will make as many big watches as they did in 2006/2007/2008/2009/. The 45 and 47 mm Omega, Oris, JLC, Zenith, and all the...
I have a variety of sizes
I think that small sizes may well come back. Whenever I see a guy wearing a watch smaller than 36mm then I know it's a vintage watch and probably therefore of interest to a WIS. I wear a variety of watches, usually a 36mm Datejust or 38mm Patek but someti...
Regression to the mean …
All good point by posters. Not quite the formal statistical use of the term, but my feeling is that large watches as a fashion statement will return to a more 'typical' sizes. However, like skirt lengths, we will see a range from big to small, appropriate...
