I absolutely agree with you. Selecting a watch is a multifactorial process.
The appearance of a watch is as important as the guts of the movement. It is nice to know, however, whether what is new is better or is it just a matter of window dressing.

Reliability vs. innovation.
I'm deeply in love with the cal 39, with i find to be a beautiful and relieable movement with a bit of history. One might not like the history, but it is probably one of the reasons Glashutte Original survived, and a link back in time. My attraction the n...
