It's true, every day's a learning day!missF wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:44 am I’d love to set up one of those experiments where you track eye movements as different people look at different watches to check the time. You could also check how long they look for. Would that change for a new watch? I bet it would! Maybe these experiments have already been done- watch designers must have theories of watch design that are based on something tangible. You couldn’t commit to a whole production run of a new watch without any certainty that people are going to find it pleasing on the eye?
I love the Blancpain here. It’s cartoony and I love reading around the dial. I find it easy to move between different features. They all seem to stand apart from one another. Either because of colour differences or size differences. On the other hand, moving around the citizen dial feels like stirring through a plate of black and white spaghetti!
It takes a certain kind of person - that's probably all of us - to arrange their clothing so that their watch, rather than being concealed by the clothing on the wrist, is actually on display at all times. I admit to doing that a lot.
