Unusual watchcase shapes were all the rage back in the heady days of the Roaring Twenties. In that era, designers offered up ovals, triangles, marquises and more. Then the classical era rushed in, and square and round cases stole the limelight. Today however, top brands understand the savvy woman’s desire to make an individual statement and are beginning to offer shapes based on archival designs and futuristic innovations. There’s no doubt about it: Watches are taking on new dimensions.
