The Art of Rectangular Clocks.

In these watches it is more complex to couple the parts of a movement and in turn creating the right dial design is a more difficult task.

It should be noted that the gears and round parts that are part of the movement of a watch when arranged together tend to make a circular shape.

That is why round watches are the ones that allow a better use of space,i.e., for functional reasons it is easier to create a watch with a round case than with another geometric shape.

Another reason why most clocks are round is that the earliest clocks were sundials and used to be this shape because of the silhouette of the sun, its movements on the dial of the sky and the rotation of the earth.

Although this is not limiting and a sundial can be made square or rectangular and the same goes for wristwatches.
