A simple but interesting question. Why do most watches come in circular designs?
In many people's impression, it’s normal that the watch case is round, and some square watches make people feel very uncomfortable, then why watches are mostly circular design? Today, let's talk about it.
Before the appearance of the watch, people watch the time with the pocket watch, so now the design of the watch will be a lot of design from the pocket watch, then why pocket to use a round design?
Because both pocket watches and watches are designed for personal effects. At the time, the machined metal did not make the edges and corners of the metal smooth, so if the pocket watch was designed to be angular, it would be uncomfortable to wear it.
And watch movements in the early, basically are circular, watch movement splint, escapement, balance wheel is arranged in the circular design is more reasonable, and the movement of square design wiould influence the increase of size, or influence the gear layout.
Moreover, from the point of view of design beauty, whether it is pocket watch or watch, the pointer runs along the center of the circle, so the circular watch makes the overall design more beautiful and comfortable.
In addition, the circular dial also allows users to naturally focus on the visual focus in the center of the dial, quickly read the time. At the same time, the round watch case design can let the watch wear more comfortable than square watch.
