Wrist-fit check
Will the Combe sit on your wrist?
Diameter tells you how big the dial looks; lug to lug tells you whether the watch stays on top of your wrist. Pick your wrist size and each case gets a verdict, drawn to the same scale.
1Measure
Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it overlaps and lay it against a ruler.
2Pick your wrist circumference
Between two sizes? Pick the smaller one — the strap has five holes either side of centre.
3Read the verdict
The top of a wrist is roughly three tenths of its circumference across. A case whose lug to lug fits inside that width sits flat.
15 cm round · about 45 mm across the top of the wrist

We would choose the 37 mm on the short strap, 110 / 70 mm. The 39 and 41 would reach past the edge of your wrist.

Sizes, straps and winding
Answers to what Combe buyers ask the bench before they order.
My wrist is between two sizes — which case should I take?
Take the smaller case. A watch that sits inside the wrist looks deliberate; one whose lugs hang over always looks borrowed. The strap has five holes either side of centre for fine sizing.
Can I swap the strap after it arrives?
Yes. Every strap is quick-release: slide the small lever on the spring bar and it drops out. Any 18 mm strap fits the 37; any 20 mm strap fits the 39 and 41.
How often does it need winding?
A dozen turns of the crown each morning. Fully wound it runs 58 hours, so it survives a weekend on the dresser.
Can I see the three sizes in person?
All three are on the bench at Rue des Envers 31, Le Locle, Tuesday to Saturday 09:30–18:00. No appointment needed.
What happens if it runs fast or slow?
Inside the two-year warranty we re-regulate it free, usually in a week. Your rate card shows the figure it left the bench with.
