I have come to realise I have a set of arbitrary, unjustifiable symbols and signs that I either do, or do not, like to see on a watch.

For example:

I like the Geneva Seal; I dislike the Patek Seal (marking their own homework, as it were).

I like the bellflower of the the Seiko Micro Artist Studio; I dislike the “special dial” star.

I like the Credor “golden peak” logo on crown, caseback and buckles but can’t stand it on a dial.


Anyone else have symbols that they love to see? Hate to see?
