Now, I tried the watch on, and I can’t quite understand why, but you can look at the pictures for yourself: It wears so good! It must be a blend of the darker dial with perhaps the steel bracelet, I’m not quite sure. But, to all the doubters out there who do like the overall look of this particular Club, I strongly encourage you to go try this watch on. I fell – hard – for this one. On my 6.5” wrist, it looks good, no lug overhang at all, it sits just right. Now on my colleague’s slightly larger wrist, it looked bonkers, somehow I didn’t snap a picture of that. I’d say anyone with a 6.5” wrist and larger is in for a really nice surprise when trying this on. Anyone with a smaller wrist, do not despair, do give it a try first.
42mm does sound enormous for nonos and it’s long lugs. But your shots don’t lie. Will be trying this one out asap – really liking this one.
I truly confirm – the size is fine. I was very much in doubt (and also told them in person at Baselworld when they were doing the reveal), and was instantly proven wrong in my assumption. It wears fine and I believe this will be true for the vast majority of wrists. It would of course be great if it came in a smaller size as well, but they have to take it one step at a time I think.
A fine example of NOMOS at work again. Looks like Baselworld`s most fun releases didn’t necessarily have to come from Switzerland this year…
