What time is it? Watches and horology

Great read!

I'm not typographer at all, but I care about it and it was a nice read. Had always thought typography would be at the center of watch design for all the brands, like center stage.
Turns out it's not.

Crazy. A watch it's about mechanical precision, paired with case design and case design must include typography. Wth !

Great read. Many brands overlook the importance of a well designed typeface to be used on the dial. A bad/lazy choice can ruin or lower the overall appearance of a watch significantly imo.

Nice, I’ll take a Heuer Cortina please

Nice!

Worse for me is the way the Black Bay line mixes round markers with the snowflake hands. It makes no sense from a design perspective. But clearly, it doesn’t bother most people!

Could you elaborate on this perhaps? What would be the "correct" marker and hand combos for diving watches?
