Cartier London Tank L.C. Small 18mm
London Tank LC Small
How it wears
Wears larger than its 18 mm case suggests
Cartier London Tank L.C. Small 18mm measures 26 mm lug-to-lug on a 18 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.44 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 100% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 95% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 29 mm (1.14 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 35 mm (1.38 in) it starts to look compact. Below 26 mm (1.02 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
