It's more art than watch IMHO. Now émail is totally different.

It all depends. That Cartier tiger dial looks awful IMO, but VC has some really nice ones. Its not really my style but you have to appreciate the skill.

I can appreciate the older Deck style enamel dials with painted numbers.

I voted for the middle option because it seemed to be the more neutral one. I find painted dials truly beautiful but I don't think they belong on all watches' dials. Having said that, I think this tiger looks great but I prefer the VC's posted below...
