What Is a Subdial?
A subdial is a smaller auxiliary dial located on the watch face, providing additional information beyond standard timekeeping. Common subdial functions include tracking seconds, minutes, hours, chronograph intervals, or calendar details.
How Does It Work?
Subdials are powered by the watch’s movement, with dedicated gear trains and hands to indicate specific functions. Their placement and purpose vary, but they are often symmetrically arranged to maintain the visual balance of the dial.
Why Are Subdials Significant?
Subdials enhance both the functionality and aesthetic complexity of a watch. They allow for multi-functionality without overcrowding the main dial, preserving legibility. Subdials are particularly prevalent in chronographs and dress watches, adding depth and sophistication to the design.
