The movement, in plain words

Méraud Watch Co. lists the La Joux-Perret G100 for the Bonaire MkII. It is an automatic, so wearing it winds it.

On your wrist40 mm across, 12.2 mm thick, on a wrist your size

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 40 mm case with a schematic wrist. The ellipse estimates wrist width and shape. It cannot predict your fit.

17.0 cm6.7 in around

This wrist model is about 56 mm across. The case spans 71% of that estimated width. The lug span ends 3.8 mm inside each model edge.

Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.

Written reviews. Each covers one watch, so read them as things to check rather than a verdict.

From reviews1 report

  • Launch report distinguishes 39 mm case from 40 mm bezel and describes an acrylic luminous bezel, 68-hour movement and 12.2 mm total height. Its G101 wording conflicts with current maker G100.
