Title: My first watch design - retro automotive-inspired timepiece
Post by: andywiller on November 26, 2017, 02:12:41 AM
Hi, everyone!

My name is Andrew. I'm currently working on the watch called Willer. It's inspired by retro cars' elements, parts and dashboards. I have six final designs now from which I need to choose best of the best. Please, help me with this matter! Vote for those designs you like the most. Would be nice to hear some feedback too.

2 with minute hand of 6 as it is way too short at the moment.

Number 2.

I always love clean dial so it might be biased.

I would go for 2nd design as it's clean and legible...

Weird to have a tachymeter and no chrono. So the first one is out. I don't see why the minute or hour hands need to have a different color.

Those lugs need a rework though. Too flimsy. And people won't be able to change the straps unless they go for a nato.

Overall design isn't bad tbh. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your feedback! It's good to see so many opinions :)

Lugs have been reworked already! I'll show the actual concept a little bit later. The issue with a tachymeter has also been fixed :)

Design no 2. I prefer hours indicator instead of minutes, less clutter

Hi again, everyone! It's been more than a year since I've started working on my Willer Watches project. Your feedback was very important to me and this year I spent time polishing the final variant of my first timepiece. I added a lot of details to the design, making the watch more interesting and worthy as a design object, deciding to go for applied indexes in retro type, authentic revolution counter's red zone and keeping second hand in form of a wheel which smoothly rides through the dial. i also picked a green mild lume as the most appropriate for such design. The case now fully resembles a tire, as well as its crown. Here are the photos of the prototype I have in my disposal. It would be nice to hear some feedback now, on the overall progress and all.

Here are some of the coolest photos I have for now as a preview.

Jessica, haha it comes for free :) I design it myself.

Hi again, everyone! Just wanted to remind, that the fundraising campaign on Kickstarter will end in less than 4 days. We were able to unlock both color variations above (blue / yellow), add an option of adding a solid sapphire crystal and introduced pouches (with not much interest, sadly :() Nevertheless, Willer feels fine, so if you like my watch, now could be the last opportunity to get it with a huge discount and support a young watchmaker :)
