When choosing a watch, you do so based on a range of criteria, including the material, the colour, the design and the shape. The case shape is crucial, as it is an expression of your personality. While we usually go with a round shape –the most popular–, there are in fact others to choose from. You will increasingly come across different shapes, such as rectangular or even triangular. Let’s take a closer look at case shapes.
Different case shapes
Here is an overview of the most common case shapes in the world of watches.
The standard shape: round
The quintessential classic shape, a round case suits both men and women. It is an easy-to-wear shape for every occasion that goes with every style of clothing.
The geometric shape: square and rectangular
Square and rectangular dials and cases have been very popular in recent years. These shapes, which convey a more serious and formal image, are often used in the watch industry.
The feminine shape: oval
The oval is a highly regarded shape among women. With this shape, it is possible to stick with a rounded form while adding a touch of originality.
The in-between shape: cushion-shaped
Are you deciding between square and round? Then the cushion shape is made for you! This square shape featuring rounded corners captivates enthusiasts with its unconventional lines.
The ultra-masculine shape: barrel-shaped
Drawing on the silhouette of a barrel, this shape is used less often than the others. It is more popular with men than with women. It is a bold choice that looks good with a range of styles.
