Art: the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the senses or emotions.
That makes most luxury wristwatches art
This quite in line with how we use them. Time keeping is only óne aspect of this personal adornment often used to relay a message wether consciously/deliberate or not.
It also explains the value of many brands which otherwise, as hardware only, would be worth only a fraction of their market value.
A Seiko tuna per example started out as pure functionality, not art at all.
Nowadays various styling elements from dive watches are used for effect only, to affect the emotion and most ´diver´ watches never ever used for diving but often worn for emotions only.
So, art?
