A non-traditional dial layout raised many discussions, but due to its mechanical ingenuity and complexity was enthusiastically received. The watch hasn’t changed since the release in 1994. The asymmetrical design was greatly reviewed by watch enthusiasts, experts and collectors. This made the asymmetrical and patented design an instant classic. the design which followed the golden rule ratio for a harmonious design.
