Are larger watches here to stay?

Excerpt from an interview with Hank Edelman, President of Patek Philippe USA:

Are larger watches here to stay?

Hank Edelman: I've been with Patek for a long time, and the pendulum does swing back and forth as things get bigger and smaller. While this is a pretty long-term trend, at some point it will level off.
For a brand like Patek, there's a limit for how large we'll go. We want soemone 50 years from now to feel comfortable wearing our watches the way people feel comfortable wearing our watches from the 1940s and 1950s today. So extremes tend to be out for us.

So if you want a BIG Patek it looks like your best bet is the Jumbo Nautilus (you may not see one on the wrist of Arnold or Stallone but that's OK - Patek Philippe can only cater so much to you Action Hero types.)
