This is probably the most beautiful watch I've ever seen. The band is a black croc patter, the watch rim a very shiny silver (if I had a complaint at all...it would be the shininess of this silver which is so gloss it almost looks fake...for this watch I would have preferred a matte finish). The inside border has a lovely filigree pattern engraved on it. The watch uses roman numerals and also features a second count (on the inside of the face) which I think makes the watch more functional. The second, minute, and hour hands are blue (dark, but not quite navy) with a white diamond design for the point. I like the color juxtaposition with the blue, but I think it is also less sophisticated (there are people who I believe wouldn't like it...black would have been more classic). Obviously the star attraction is the open face which gives you the ability to see the moving parts. It's a show-stopper; it's very intricate and it catches attention. Sometimes I find myself just watching the gears and movement it can be very hypnotic and cathartic. So, overall it's a functional watch, with intricate and lovely detail, that has the added bonus of possibly functioning as a de-stresser. Also, I'm a female...I own two Kate Spade watches and prefer this one...I find the watch more androgynous than male/female specific. If I could change two things, I would make the silver rim matte and get rid of the crock leather band and opt for smooth leather.   Read Less
