Arabic Numerals

Arabic numerals refer to the number system, consisting of 1, 2, 3, and so on. They gained popularity on watch dials during the eighteenth century and offer more flexibility for creative expression than Roman numerals. Nowadays, many luxury watch manufacturers incorporate both Arabic and Roman numerals interchangeably on their timepieces.
