Similar watches to spinnaker piccard?
It recently came to my attention the existance of the piccard from spinnaker. although the design intrigured me, it is wayyyyyyy to large for my smol 15.5cm wrist. Hence I was wonder if anyone knows a watch with a similar design queues i.e the bulging warping crystal and kinda chunky design but at 40mm>=

Crepas had the Tornado, but at a higher price point.

Checked it but its 43mm, which is still way too large for my wrist

Never know till you try. I have a 6.5 and routinely wear watches the "enthusiast" community says are too big....
Not my ideal size (I'm a 40mm by 20mm -ish man myself), but doesn't keep me from rocking fun pieces I like.
Edit: I have a 16.5 cm wrist btws.
Bulova LP for one.
Don't limit yourself to numbers on paper. Unless you have felt a particular watch on wrist you'll never know how it makes YOU feel. Many times you will miss out on designs you love because it.
I have a 8.25" wrist. The Picard looks big on me but it can look different once you see it on. If available on Amazon order it and see how it looks you can always return it.
Sadly I live in egypt and well amazon doesn't have those same "good customer service practices" here 😅, with the added value that the watch is pretty high end for our economy

I understand, though from my general experience that 40mm+ watches look like alarm bells on me. Though I'd give your experience a try and maybe I'll enjoy some of the larger ones

If the issue is spending to much for a watch that may or may not fit your taste. Try an Aragon Dive Master 42mm. Direct from the website cost around $150ish USD. Check the specs on the website, very impressive.
Dive watches tend to wear small because the bezel shrinks the dial.
I have finally ordered a Piccard for myself. Can’t wait!
