Cubitus bezel geometry, take 2
This second method no longer requires any arbitrary parameters:
1. Draw an outer square (of any size) and inscribe a circle within.
2. Inscribe an inner square within the circle. Construct a middle square between the outer and inner squares.
3. Inscribe an inner circle in the middle square.
4. The outer perimeter of the bezel is formed by the middle square and the curved segments of the first circle where that circle cuts into the middle square.
5. The inner perimeter of the bezel is formed by the inner square and the curved segments of the second circle where that circle cuts into the inner square.
Here is the shape overlaid on the Forbes image, scaled at 100% widith, 98% height:

As for the golden ratio
Here's 4 lines in the exact slope of the golden ratio, drawn through the center of the dial: The golden ratio lines pass very close to the outer corners, within 0.33% of the bezel width. ...
If I have to squint to make it look good to me, does it matter it follows the golden ratio
It has actually grown on me, but my first impression was ......
Thank you
I’m still amazed how this geometry just ‘happens’ to approximate the golden ratio at the 8 corners where arc meets line. The match is within 0.3% of the bezel width. For a 37 mm bezel, that’s a mere 0.1 mm
So it's kinda like a simplified squared Bvlgari Octo, yet PP is thicker and has a lower waterproof rating, :)
i kid, i kid, but it does seem true imho. ...
Altenrative method starting from desired dial width
Step 1: construct inner square of desired size (here=28.000 mm) and circumscribe first circle Step 2: circumscribe outer square Step 3: construct middle square Step 4: circumscribe second circle from middle square Rest as before ...
