Kuoe old smith

Just waiting for them to come back into stock

·

I like these watches, but sadly they don't make anything larger than a 38mm.

·

These are fantastically designed. Too small for me but I appreciate them none the less.

·

Kuoe have got it pitch perfect with their watches. I've come within a whisker.

·

Same, as soon as the Ivory dial came a available again, I wish to pick one up 👍🏻beautiful watch

·

Same, I want one so bad!

·

Dido. Waiting for the Royal Smith 90-010 to be in stock.

38mm would be fine. They don’t have anything over 35mm. Way too small unless you have a small wrist

Men that fought in WW2 wore 35mm watches and it was fine at the time. No one said they were too small. That’s what Kuoe is going for, a throwback to another era.

Yeah I know. Still can’t get over it myself though.

Pretty sure Kuoe offers a 38mm at least. A very modern size

It’s vintage inspired, so it makes sense they don’t.

Moreover it seems the trend for large watches is over, sales are collapsing..

It’s changing completely nowadays but still, the market for large watches is huge.

Very few brands make small watches and yet I regret they still get pressed in forums for making watches larger.

It’s good to have a good variety of offers.

By the way, I heard from sellers that the trend is now for smaller sizes, larger ones hardly sell.

I think most people are talking about 36-39mm when referring to “small“ watches though. And “larger“ probably means 42/43mm and more nowadays.

35mm is still considered too small by many and from a business perspective it would make sense for them to have more 37-39mm models. I don’t think they‘re struggling financially, but their business would probably grow a lot faster that way. Many people, like me, like their designs but don’t pull the trigger because of the size.

Maybe but I still think it’s a good idea to build a brand identity with what else does.

35mm is truly vintage.

There are a million brands in the 37-39 range with vintage inspiration, and new ones almost everyday.

Many small brands have very opiniated designs that would work only for a few, and I think this is great. Offers for the masses is still huge.

I don't consider 40-41mm "large", especially for wrist size of 7.5" or more. There is definitely demand for this. Over 42-43mm not so much.

I do, but anyway our reciprocal preferences are even not the topic.

Because if you take the watch history, anything above 38mm is undoubtedly huge.

There is certainly demand, but again it's a brand decision to choose their design and what they target. One can build an entire brand on vintage and 35mm and have a strong identity, it's what Kuoe is doing I guess.
