When Timothée Chalamet wore a 25mm Cartier Panthère, he quietly signaled a shift: male celebrities were embracing delicate watches, challenging decades of size-driven luxury and redefining the rules of masculine style.
A few years ago, I wanted to try on a Zenith at a shop in Tokyo, but the clerk wouldn't let me, saying that it's a woman's watch. (But it fits me!)
Last week at a Tokyo dealer, I slipped on a Panerai 38 mm moonphase , also categorized as a woman's watch. The salesperson mentioned that it's a woman's watch, but didn't say anything about the watch's target gender beyond that one brief alert.
I have a thin wrist.
