From Small Cues to Decoration
"Band, hands, circle"—these are the minimal components by which people recognize a watch.
◆ A watch is a "wrist" watch because it has a band.
◆ A watch is a watch because it has hands.
◆ Time was created from the recurring cycles (circles) of celestial bodies.
This model seems to be a textbook example of a "watch" that focuses on these three elements. By lavishly decorating these three elements, it clearly establishes the hierarchy among the other components.
Isn’t this the ideal model for all watches, combining the "watch-like" qualities users seek with the beauty of an ornament that satisfies them?
