If you were designing a watch with your name (or your WatchCrunch name) on the dial, what would that watch look like?

We're all starting watch companies, and our name has to be on the dial. What would we want our first watch to look like? What features would it have?...

Intention is overrated.

This slogan needs to be on the official WatchCrunch t-shirt.

Definitely worth getting fixed!

They should bring those back.

Hello and thank you for posting this. Very long, but as a guy who made a whole post about each of his 20+ quartz watches second hands and another post ("My Conversation with Mademoiselle Tissot" which assigns human traits to my glorious Everytime Large) I'm not one to talk. Both of these are still available on my Profile Page (I think).

I was slightly disappointed at first that the five photos at the top were not the winners - Edox, Eternamatic, Camy, Lambda, and Kienzle. Not a single mainstream name among them. But it turned out that lots of the winners were thankfully obscure too. Your Camy Club Star is one of my favorites on WC. And the Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Spider, besides being beautiful, has the best watch name I've ever seen. I didn't even know there were spiders in the Antarctic, but I'm sure not messing with them. How come the world's mad scientists never mentioned there were spiders there? I trust them even less now. I'm glad they didn't do the Schwartzie Awards math, they would have messed it all up.

So I'm glad I rearranged my whole life and tuned in to the First Annual Awards. Interesting, great looking watches, and no wardrobe malfunctions, (right)?

Not in the USA! I'm still mad at Cadbury's for discontinuing the Cadbury Lime bar about fifty years ago. Maybe it was a limited edition?

Thank you, I have had my eye on this one. What's not to like (well, maybe the crazy logo).

I like your Seestern in the photo too - I'm guessing that's a sister brand? Again, thanks.
