Beauty vs practicality?

I think date magnifies are ugly. But my watch isn't perfect either. What do you prefer?

This is my watch. I think there's at least some attempt to find a balance.

But why they didn't use a negative screen is baffling to me because they do make this exact module/movement with a negative display.

They slightly blend together under some lighting but not often.

The date on D is on the other side of the dial. It’s a retrograde pointer and is ridiculously cool!

I care about function more than form, but I don't want ugly for the sake of ugly either.

I prefer beauty and practicality in an analog watch. I don't prefer anything digital, as it's counter-intuitive. 😉

I have a few beauty queens, but I like some complications so usually shooting for balance.
