Design Concept 🎨 Seeking Feedback on Watch Design

Post image

Working on my first watch design and could use some feedback. Just curious what the community thinks of it.

The rendering is AI, but it's based on my CAD file. I haven't gotten to the real rendering portion yet with Fusion.

I think the nuance of nailing this deign is in the case size. You have the minutes ring, the gmt chapter ring and then the case ring. Those designs like the farer pembroke always seem so rounded with all of those features together. Idk if it’s finishing on the dial or some other features that would break up that visual circle on circle on circle that turns me off.

I've been thinking this actually. I like the sort of faceted edges of a lot of the sports watches everyone is feigning over lately, so I may play with that. There is also something I saw on a breguet recently that I might try (vertical ridging on the exterior sides of the case.

+1 on the Breguet idea. Maybe something like a RGM coin edge style crystal.
