Looking for a square case? The Cluse La Tétragone is exactly that. These are quartz women's watches, most of them 3 ATM, so splash-resistant rather than water-resistant, though a few models are made in a 5 ATM version. You can order the pieces in the webshop and have them delivered to your door. As an official Cluse dealer, our own watch service also handles battery and strap changes.
What makes the Cluse La Tétragone special?
Tétragone means quadrilateral, and the collection is the square alternative to Cluse's round watches. The four-cornered case has a slightly retro, slightly Art Deco feel, and it suits a blouse or a knit sweater surprisingly well. Anyone who already wears a round watch often picks this as their second.
What does 3 ATM mean for the La Tétragone?
In practice, 3 ATM (30 m) means splash resistance: rain or the odd drop of water will not harm it, but do not hold it under the tap. The 5 ATM models can take a little more. If you wash your hands a lot during the day, choose one of these, or get used to taking it off first.
How does a square watch sit on the wrist?
- On a slim wrist, the smaller, upright rectangular case looks best.
- A square case looks optically larger than a round one of the same width.
- If you wear it under a shirt sleeve, be careful: the angular shape catches more easily on the cuff.
Choosing a size online
With a square watch, check the length of the case on the product page as well as the width. Measure a watch you have at home and compare: if the length is greater than the width of your wrist, the watch will be more prominent.
If you decide on a round shape after all, you will find plenty among the Cluse watches.
