How to measure your wrist
Choosing the ideal case size
| Taille Boîtier | Style & Rendu | Conseil Saphir Time |
|---|---|---|
| 17mm – 22mm | Jewellery / Cocktail | Perfect for slender wrists and evening wear. |
| 23mm – 28mm | Classic Elegance | The Rado standard. Discreet, lightweight and highly sophisticated. |
| 30mm – 33mm | Vintage Intermediate | Perfect for a bold ‘retro’ look on a man’s or woman’s wrist. |
| 35mm – 38mm | Large Format Vintage | Fits snugly on the wrist whilst staying tucked under the sleeve. |
Note : Collector’s watches (Rado, gold watches) are designed with elegance in mind. A 25mm case on a vintage timepiece often has more character than a bulky modern watch.
