When we talk about watches, of course we’re going to mention details like size, style, water resistance, and movements, but if we’re being honest, there’s nothing that immediately affects your perception of a watch like the dial. This is the face of the watch, usually the first thing you see, and it’s up to the dial to make a great impression.
Some dials are all business, some are minimalist, some unnecessarily complicated, and some are perfect as they are. But today we’re looking at the dials that offer that extra something that sets them apart from the ordinary. We’re talking about great design, striking colorways, unusual materials, and bold textures and finishes that elevate the watch as a whole. A dial that makes you step back and say “whoa, that is so cool!”.
In addition, we’re looking at watches that start in the attainable range, and stay under a $20,000 ceiling at the top end. Let’s face it, above a certain point, everything about a watch should be stunning, so we’re going to shout out those that are really something special, without soaring into stratospheric price tags.
