What time is it? Watches and horology

It's not to do with the crystal distortion, I discussed it back when it was first shown:

Is there genuinely no reason why it might have been done the way it was other than a limitation of a digital font? Kinda boggles my mind that nobody at Longines would have stopped it going out the door that way.

There's a few possible reasons why it happened.

• The person responsible doesn't know any better
  
• The person responsible can't see the difference
  
• The person responsible is doing their best but doesn't have the skills, knowledge or guidance to do it any better
  
• They know it's not as good as it could be, but they didn't invest the time required to do it better because they don't think people will notice, or that it will affect sales
  
  

Or a combination thereof.

The curious thing is they clearly made some effort and did a decent job on the large arabics and the seconds track numerals. I dunno.

Big day today, so a big watch to match.

After all the ridiculous hype of late of stupidly over priced limited edition ( or non limited in the case of the new snoopy) moonwatch. This here is one of only 252 worldwide . And is 18ct gold , and is STILL less expensive than the others. How do I still have this when people are paying 25 grand ( and more for a steel watch with a fucking cartoon dog on it !!

Because it's gaudy and ugly?

Snoopy is cute and iconic.

But there's only 252 of them not 2000 or even more!

So? Rarity doesn't make an ugly thing pretty all of a sudden.

But people do buy because of rarity.......
I do agree with you tho
