A watch is not only a recorder of time, it is also a work of art, especially those with symmetrical designs, which can bring us unparalleled visual enjoyment. Have you ever wondered why symmetrical things always make people feel comfortable? This article will take you to an in-depth discussion of the importance of symmetrical aesthetics in watch design, as well as several watches worth paying attention to, which will definitely give you a new understanding of watch selection.
Symmetrical aesthetics
As a tool that is both practical and collectible, the design aesthetics of a watch greatly affects consumers’ choices. We often see “symmetrical” designs on some watches. Although the brand does not clearly state this design concept, consumers and watch lovers know that symmetrical aesthetics have important value in watch design.
Symmetrical design can provide visual comfort and give a sense of order. In life, we unconsciously like some symmetrical things, such as buildings, landscapes, and even people’s faces, and this is also confirmed in the design of watches.
If a watch can achieve a reasonable distribution of various elements, whether it is function or appearance, it can give the wearer a wonderful sense of feedback.
Montblanc Star Series Full Calendar Watch
The Montblanc Star Series Full Calendar Watch (model MB134358) is the first watch I want to recommend today. This watch uses a 42mm stainless steel case and is equipped with the MB 24.30 movement. It has the display function of date, day of the week, month and moon phase.
What attracts me most is its outer calendar design. This design not only realizes the date function, but also strengthens the aesthetic expression of the watch. Just imagine, if this function is placed on the dial, how much impact it will have on the integrity of the dial. If the numbers are cut off, the dial will inevitably lose a lot of design. The design of the outer ring calendar perfectly solves this problem.
The calendar on the outer ring not only does not destroy the beauty of the dial, but makes the entire watch look more charming, like a delicate coin. The most important thing is that it also combines function and aesthetics. A coin not only represents a symbol of value, but also contains information such as the year, country, and foundry. The numbers on the calendar on the outer ring of the Montblanc Star Series Full Calendar Watch also reflect this.
Oris BIG CROWN series
The next recommendation is the Oris BIG CROWN series large crown pointer calendar yellow plate model (model 01 754 7798 406907 8 20 06). This watch continues the Oris classic large crown design and is equipped with the Oris754 movement.
As soon as I saw this watch, I was attracted by its bright yellow color. This color is rare among many watches, and Oris also earned the nickname “Big Yellow Watch”.
I think this watch is most suitable to wear in spring and summer, and it can better show its charm when paired with light-colored clothing. Functionally, this watch uses a pointer calendar display, which has a very obvious position on the dial.
Because it is a traditional mechanical watch, this watch still needs to be wound regularly, but it is very cost-effective and even winding will not cause too much burden.
Omega De Ville Series
What is recommended is the Omega De Ville Series Pointer Calendar Elegant Watch (model 434.23.42.22.10.001). This watch has a diameter of 42 mm and is equipped with the Omega 8936 movement.
This watch uses an 18K gold polished bezel, which stands out among the steel-cased watches. Coupled with the combination of dark green disk surface, it vividly displays the elegant retro style.
If the Oris BIG CROWN series of rhubarb is lively and cheerful, then the Omega De Ville series is more restrained and elegant, which is very in line with the temperament of some high-end people.
These three watches all have a very good price/performance ratio and find a balance between aesthetics and practicality. They are very worthy of consideration by watch friends who pursue a sense of luxury and practicality.
Conclusion
From Montblanc’s bezel calendar to Oris’s “Big Yellow Watch” to Omega’s elegance, these watches are not only functionally outstanding, but also aesthetically unique. I personally feel that choosing a watch is not only for practicality, but also to express one’s own taste. Which watch do you think impresses you the most?
