The human form is the mean, around which fashion occilates.  There is an average watch size, which relates to the average wrist size of a human, say 36-39mm.  Fashion will drive this higher or lower, ending with some absurd peak and retreating to the mean.  Its the same for bell-bottoms, artificial fabric content, shoulder pads, even car tail-fins.  I think we have hit "absurdly large" levels, and these will be the watches we look at in pictures 10 years from now and say "what was I thinking".  Only the fashion that adheres to the mean is timeless.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2009 2:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Watch Sizes To Shrink Again?

We're not likely to see a great shrinking of watch sizes in the near future.   There is also the fact that ours is an aging population, and a bigger watch face is simply easier for older eyes to read.   I've also noted a trend for women to wear "men's" watches.   I think this is fine for a work or casual setting, but for dress-up affairs a daintier watch still looks more feminine on a woman.   My largest watch is a Zodiac, at 46mm, which is just a tad wider than my Omega Planet Ocean.   However, my favorite watch for casual wear comes in at just 39.2mm, and that is an Omega Aqua Terra having a stainless steel bracelet and a starburst blue dial.   A watch CAN be too big and too heavy for everyday wear . . . but on the weekends the "Bond" in us is let loose and we wear our Planet Oceans and Seamasters with hardly a second thought.   All in all, the "perfect" size watch is the one that you feel comfortable wearing!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chev James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2009 1:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Watch Sizes To Shrink Again?
