Legible markings, logically arranged elements, and overall symmetry and balance are among the requirements for multi-function watch dials.
Wristwatches are unabashed engineering feats that no longer just tell the time; they do so in two or more time zones, measure lap times in a race car, display the phases of the moon, and even keep track of golf strokes (no kidding, check out Richard Mille), all while maintaining high accuracy, water resistance and stunning beauty.
When it comes to a wristwatch, dial design plays a phenomenal role in the entire creation. Trying to fit all this extra information on a display the size of a piece of sushi takes serious skill and a keen eye for functional esthetics. Let’s look at some watches that have risen to the challenge brilliantly.
Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar Ref. 5212A-001
A brand new model by Patek Philippe, this new complication is an addition to its range of calendar watches. In addition to the day and the date, the weekly calendar now displays the current week number. It is incredibly useful for the active man of today, even in the era of the ubiquitous smartphone.
The silver dial combines a distinctive layout with great legibility, a masterpiece in displaying the maximum amount of information necessary on a dial, yet retaining a clean aesthetic that is easy to understand. Its typography is designed specially for this watch and is a reproduction of actual authentic handwriting. Each letter and number is unique, just like hand-written notes, valued and cherished by the individual.
The days are arranged on a ring framing the dial center, and a hammer-shaped hand with a red-painted head indicates the day. A similar hand points simultaneously to the month and the week number on the periphery of the dial.
