Dress watch
Freed from his need to serve his master in a variety of ways (and quite possibly in less cordial circumstances), the dress watch is necessary to dazzle in the least extravagant way imaginable.

It is the last consideration that generally differentiates a quality dress watch and that will follow in broad outline the history of the watch's design itself: round, gold, high-gloss black leather strap; square or rectangular, white gold or steel on patent leather strap or matching bracelet, or some modernist analogy.
