As the 90s gave way to a new millennium, the early 2000s ushered in some trends that were questionable at best. In fashion, we saw the rise of layered polos with popped collars, Ed Hardy, and low-rise jeans.
The music charts were dominated by the likes of Savage Garden and Nickelback, and every hip-hop song had an air horn or siren in it.
Again, all questionable, but in the luxury watch industry, we saw a trend that would benefit those lumberjacked watch enthusiasts with large wrists. That’s correct; today, we will be giving you a list of the 15 best luxury watches for all of you enthusiasts with 4x4s for wrists.
I think it is safe to say that large watches aren’t for everyone. With that said, how do you know if an oversized timepiece is right for you? And when did they become popular?
As we talked about earlier, the trend of luxury watches for large wrists started in the early 2000s and was made popular by Hollywood and pop culture icons of the time. Think Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and some of the decades early hip hop stars like Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z, who were both some of the earliest wearers of Jacob & Co.
While much of fashion and style is subjective, it would be a fair observation to suggest that large watches, which can be categorized as a timepiece with a case size of 43mm in diameter and above, are best suited for those of us with a wrist circumference of 7.5 inches and up.
Don’t get me wrong, if you are a small-wristed guy with the confidence to pull off a large timepiece, go for it! Just know that you may risk looking like a kid playing dress up with your dad’s watch.
