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 a...  

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. ...  

It has actually grown on me, but my first impression was ......

Love the way how you reverse engineered the design process. 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

Unfortunately the bevel is just a part of a whole

i kid, i kid, but it does seem true imho. ...  

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 ...
