Interesting observation but disagree. There are an enormous variety of case shapes and details, and levels of quality in the way they’re delivered.
That means circular, tonneau, cushion, ellipsocurvex, square, TV, rectangular, etc. It means knurled, gadrooned, coin-edged, faceted, etc. It means brushed and/or high-polished; and it means lugs of infinite variety.

Such is the variety of casework that it’s clear that watchmakers think and approach them in a way that’s on par with the other parts of a watch, even if media and buyers don’t. The reasons for this is obvious from both an engineering and artistic point of view: they’re working on both overall structural integrity and intimate sensory experience through design. In this respect the Logical One isn’t a notable exception. It’s just a fine example from a very diverse field.
