There is a horological question of form and function

Salamanca,
You questioned what is the horological merit of this thread.
I think it is an appropriate discussion because watches today are considered by some to be "accessories that happen to tell time". I don't subscribe to this but in fairness, I have to relate it here.
We are surrounded by timekeepers for time signals e.g. mobile phones, computer screens, car dashboards, microwave ovens, etc. Even my toothbrush has a time display!
Thus, our watches, especially for men are the only precious accessory that we can change to match our apparel and shoes.
You have to admit that the task posed by psychotic was a difficult one: What watch could match a purple shirt, yellow tie and dress shoes?
Anyway, this thread allows all of us to have a bit of horological fun to post our suggestions. For you, I sense a need for this bit of horology....
Regards
MTF
