I am pleased to see a Junghans Max Bill watch smack at the center of the top display. The other ones are way too busy for my taste, except maybe the digital Seiko.
The self-designed watch camouflages its functionality with minimalism, and the day and month displays proceed in mathematically positive direction. I like it.
For my money the Milgauss is the standout of that montage. I've always loved the "quirky" colours, and the lightning-bolt hand stands out a little.
But watches are pretty personal, and it's okay to have different tastes. I like that the author knew what was important to them - for me I avoid Roman Numerals, and subdials as both look too busy. I try to avoid date-complications for the same reason, and if I must have them I abhor the cyclops.
My watches range from the casio terrorist, through mass-produced soviet pieces that were made before I was born, all the way to high end Swiss pieces. I still wake up and change my watch based on what kinda mood I'm in, or what I'm doing.
