Why is the Roman numerals on the watch using IIII instead of IV?
For a perfect visual balance
Based on aesthetic considerations, it may be the most reasonable explanation for the use of IIII in modern watchmaking. Usually, the clock shows 12 hours, 4 and 8 are in a symmetrical position, and using IIII and VIII will make it look more beautiful. For example, some advertisements adjust the watch display time to 10:10, in order to pursue symmetrical beauty.
Most modern or retro timepieces rely on a mixture of addition and subtraction symbols, 4 is IIII, 9 is IX, such dials are: I, II, III, IIII, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII. Through this combination, the dial is divided into three parts, the first part uses only I, the second part uses only V and I, and the last part uses only X and I. In this way, the dials of three different areas can be balanced to create a more elegant and harmonious dial for optimal visual balance.
Traditional ancient appeals, historical iterations, and actual process requirements explain why today's watchmaking industry still uses IIII more than IV on most Roman numerals. of course there are exceptions.
Regardless of how Roman numerals change, at least we can be sure that using IIII instead of IV makes reading more convenient. In addition, Roman numerals are more intriguing than the Arabic numerals dial. Do you like the Roman numerals dial?
