To Date or Not to Date, That is the Question.

I’m working on a design for a smaller version of the Mark Carson designed “Skyscraper” watch (which was produced as a joint venture with my friend Richard Paige). I’m still in the design stage but I would like to introduce this more wearable version by the end of the year or early 2026. It will be about 41 mm wide and 10.6 mm thick – much smaller than the 45 mm wide and 13.2 mm thick original Skyscraper. It will be powered by a Top Grade ETA 2824-2 Swiss automatic movement which has a date feature.

So, the question is, should this particular dial be produced with the Date feature or not?

Do you prefer a Date or No Date on this dial?
