This is an awesome comment, thank you!
I had no idea of this new "monobloc" trend, but I feel like you're on to something. When I wear, say, my Longines Diver and I look at my wrist, I feel that my watch is communicating: it's an intricate, hand-built machine telling me the time. I need to wind it and breathe new life into it. I get complimented on it: "new watch?" or "nice watch, what is it?" It's an accessory. A deliberate choice.
When I look down at my F-91W, it's as if it's not even there. I'm the one telling the time. Everyone ignores it, no one mentions it, no one brings it up: it's there but it's not. Just like a monobloc chair or a #2 pencil.
