So, I was scrolling through some watch blogs the other day, and I stumbled upon something that really caught my eye. It wasn’t about the usual stuff like the newest tech or the fanciest materials. It was about watches that have, like, actual art right there on the dial. I mean, we’re talking miniature paintings and designs that make you wanna stare at your wrist all day long.
I got so into it that I decided to do something about it. I went ahead and ordered a few different watches, each with a unique dial design. I wanted to see these tiny masterpieces up close and, of course, wear them around a bit. The first one I got was this watch with an enamel dial. Man, the colors on that thing pop! It’s like wearing a tiny, glossy painting on your wrist.
- The first watch I tried had an enamel dial, and it was glossy and vivid.
Then, I switched it up and put on a watch that had some intricate engraving on the dial. The detail was insane. You could see all these tiny lines and patterns that made up a bigger picture. It was pretty cool to see how much work went into something so small. I wore this one to a more formal event, and it definitely got some attention. People were curious and wanted to get a closer look, which was a great conversation starter.
- The second one featured detailed engraving work, which was perfect for a formal occasion.
After that, I got my hands on a watch that used wood marquetry for its dial. Now, that was something else. It had these different types of wood pieced together to create a design. It looked so natural and elegant. I wore this one out to a casual brunch, and it fit right in. It wasn’t too flashy but still unique enough to stand out.
- A watch with a wood marquetry dial came next, adding a natural and elegant touch to my casual outfits.
I spent a whole week just rotating these watches, matching them with different outfits and occasions. Honestly, it made me appreciate the craftsmanship of watches even more. It’s not just about telling time; it’s about having a piece of art with you all the time. It made me realize that a watch can be a statement piece, something that reflects your style and appreciation for art.
The price for these kinds of watches can be pretty high, I won’t lie. I mean, I shelled out around the equivalent of EUR 20,250 for one of them. But for me, it was worth it. It’s like investing in a piece of art that you can carry around. Plus, these watches are usually in good condition, no scratches or anything, and they come with all the original stuff like the box and papers.
- Finally, investing in these watches was like buying a piece of wearable art, with prices reflecting their value and quality.
By the end of this little experiment, I was totally convinced that watches with art on their dials are the way to go if you’re looking to up your style game. It’s a unique way to express yourself, and honestly, it’s just really cool to wear something that’s both functional and beautiful. I’m definitely keeping these watches in my rotation, and I might even add a few more to the collection. You know, just to keep things interesting. And I find their model numbers on the underside of the back cover.
And I will do it again!
