In the realm of watchmaking, vivid colors have not been extensively used due to their potential impact on a design’s lifespan. Though playful and captivating, these hues are often surpassed by classic tones that derive from natural finishes like precious metals – think of dial colors such as champagne (yellow gold), salmon (pink gold), silver (white gold), or those found in stones and enamel.
Over time, advancements in technology, specifically in galvanization and colored pigments, have made it possible to introduce vibrant shades. This progress also ensures that these colors age more steadily and predictably. In my experience, watches with colorful dials are eye-catching and unique, but they might lack the versatility of style found in traditional designs, and could potentially appear outdated over time.
