A Discussion around Tudor and their Infamous Snowflake Hand. The design that has come to define their core collection of pieces over the last 10 years. Even a decade later it sparks debate, turns people away from the watch and can sometimes look very jarring on their pieces. Has it overstayed its welcome? Should it be placed only on a select series of watches? Or has it actually managed to introduce some character to a fairly safe and often repeated design?
