Our distinctive design is based on a pocket watch made in Paris about 1630 by watchmaker Daniel Le Clerc. The first watches—then more like portable clocks—began to appear in the late 15th or early 16th century, after the invention of the spring-driven (rather than weight-driven) timekeeping device. In keeping with the tradition of clock dials, the Roman “IIII” and not “IV” was almost universally used. Several theories exist regarding this practice, although it may have been due to the symmetry of “IIII” and “VIII” (versus the lack of symmetry of “IV” and “VIII”). The original watch, which is in the Museum’s collection, is circular and very small—less than an inch in diameter—and features a blue enamel face with an engraved floral border.

IMO, that's a pretty effeminate looking watch for a guy. Anyway, you forgot the link.

As usual, to each his own with watches, or any other fashion accessory. I would call it "ornate" or "intricate" rather than "effeminate." It's certainly lacks the oversized-shiny-slab-o-steel macho impact that the usual mens' diving watches offer, but it's not supposed to look or function like one of those anyway.

They have it in a slightly different (and even less manly) color scheme here, but it's more expensive (roughly ~$88 shipped AC).
