It feels good for several reasons.

First of all, the watch remains comfortable: I like the folding clasp system similar to Hublot which is good point.

Secondly, the lugs are very curved so the watch is well positioned on the wrist.

And... the size is perfect to take advange of the different ballets on the dial.

The basic idea of the watch is the symetry. Everything is symetric on it: the movement, the escapement, the dial if I forget the linear power reserve indicator.

The size of the regulating organ and of the movement by itself makes such size almost mandatory. Honestly, even if we don't take into account these parameters,  a smaller size would be difficult in my point of view because the organ requires space around it to aesthetically breathe and to be even more impressive visually speaking.

The closest watch in terms of feeling is IMHO the ChronAP: an offcentered dial, a large case, the two barrels... even if they are opposite in terms of horological contents, they gave me a similar pleasure on the wrist.

Thanks for the wearability comments, FX. From case specifications it sounds like a daunting watch to wear, but there is a lot going on, as you say, and it was designed to show off the constant force escapement. Cool wrist shot. Thanks for sharing it with ...
