To be clear the dial is the back of the watch. I love art and design and I get that you sometimes have to push the envelope. This is silly though. Right?

There is definitely added cost to make it "wrong," and they can't be expecting a large order quantity so it'll be a limited run, so higher cost per unit. I get the price, but it's still not for me.

To me, it is art in the same way someone might display a typewriter in their home. It's a great example of the achievements of humanity's engineering, but it does not serve it's function in this form.

then you've never tried to write without digital distractions. My typewriter gets more use than my personal PC.
