From video reviewers

The NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig has a notable lug-to-lug fit that's comfortable on smaller wrists. A potential drawback is the relatively high price point compared to similar offerings from other brands. Reviewers disagree on the optimal case size, with some considering 35mm and others 38mm or 39mm suitable options.
