Form follows function. Diving/Pilot watches are more attractive to me than artisan, serif, roman numeraled, asymmetrical, diamond encrusted 'luxury' brands. Having said that I think a lot of modern 'function' watches have gone down this route, with OTT bezel/dial/strap design (Breitling/Jaeger leCoultre). Dare I say it, I think the World Wars and their aftermath produced the most beautiful time pieces and set the benchmark for simplicity and perfection. Every cloud?
