The dials of each version feature a silvered satin finish and large Roman numerals around the perimeter. A 30-minute counter takes up the 3 o'clock position, and a 12-hour counter can be found at nine. The running seconds sub-dial occupies a smaller position at 6 o'clock. The link date link is there as link well. The large chronograph sub-dials and the discreet use of SuperLuminova on the hands and hour markers make for a legible design.

There's a link certain freedom that haute horology manufactures can take when it's clear the machine they're creating is intended to tell the time but in a novel visually striking way. Designs link don't have to be purely functional or even make sense telling time link can be expressed however the designers see fit. The why of the watch is simple and the answer is just because.
