# Sleek Minimal Wristwatches Daniel Wellington's Petite Mesh Collection Comes in a Larger Size By Amy Duong | Published 2020-03-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petite-mesh References: [danielwellington](https://www.danielwellington.com/ca/) Daniel Wellington's iconic Petite mesh collection welcomes a new and larger dial as a result of consumer demand -- the introduction of the Grand Petite boasts a dial that measures out to be 36mm. The minimal design language is retained as the sleek silhouette remains the same with the subtle difference of a larger dial. The Petite was originally designed to fuse an elegant mesh bracelet with a minimal timepiece. It is made from stainless steel materials and the bracelet itself is carefully cut in a special chain-mail pattern in order to reach the exact length and width to create a perfect balance between destiny and thread count. Notably, on the smaller watch case, the minute markers are removed and balanced with index markers.
