It's a design feature that's both beautiful and problematic because the hands are easily obscured by the guards making the time more difficult to read but there's no denying that there is something fascinating about the ironic elegance that emerged from solving a simple durability problem. The crystals on trench watches were link mineral glass which was link relatively fragile. Shatter link resistant Plexiglass emerged in the 1930s and brought the crystal guard to an end.
