    Favorite numerals

    Thread inspired by DA's new Max Bill and the famous 4.

    Which are your favorite numerals on a watch dial?

    Couple of mine.
    Of course the Max Bill #4:


    Orbita (also poljot) deluxe #12


    Atlantic worldmaster #4

    Poljot's other 12:

    Funny how tastes differ. I'm not a fan of any of the above! I like a plain, normal font. I do like the iwc font, cutoffs notwithstanding Name:  uploadfromtaptalk1445022187783.jpg

    I believe my description for this one was along the lines of "best number 4 this side of a Max Bill." The other numbers aren't too bad either.



    The other Robert Lighton models have a good bit of character, too.

    This would be a pretty boring place if they didn't.

    Maybe not quite what you mean, and I can't find a decent pic, but I love the classic Rolex date wheel font

    Favorite numerals

    Great idea for a thread, m!
    And yes, some numerals are so delish that they make the entire watch, cf the Worldmaster's 4


    I'll post some properly tomorrow - need to finish learning a speech for tomorrow
