‘Real Men Wear Girly Watches’ – Financial Times

Your watch is too big, even the Financial Times thinks so.

Nick Foulkes, writing for The Financial Times:

Since then key moments in dismantling the old sexually segregated silos of watchmaking have included Bad Bunny’s choice of a Patek Ellipse 4931 on crimson strap when he made the cover of GQ in 2022, The Weeknd, who won the red Carpet of Cannes 2023 wearing a gemset Piaget Limelight Gala High Jewellery, and Timothée Chalamet who straps on his 23mm Panthère de Cartier even when doing blokey things like guzzling pizza or taking in a Lakers’ game.

First things first, that headline they are using is total trash click-bait bullshit. There’s no such thing as a ‘real man’ nor ‘girly watches’ so they should pull their heads out of their fucking asses on that one.

Anyways, I clearly agree with this, and it’s why I urge the average guy to wear watches in the 36-39mm size range. With 36mm being the ideal.
