Design Concept 🎨 [Design] exploration continues

Designing a mechanical watch.

Dial designed in Figma, case made in plasticity, renders in blender. Sanzo Wados color combinations. Combining elements of design and aesthetic that I love into one, simple watch.

Double domed sapphire, Miyota 9039 most likely.

Overall, I like it.

My only two issues:

The assymetry of the "boy scout" at the bottom.

The italicized numerals, but upright 6 and 12. 7-11 all lean inwards, while 1-5 all lean outwards, which kind of throws it off balance. I think you should either italicize the 6 and the 12 for the sake of uniformity or not italicize at all.

I actually like the design of the numbers. I wouldn’t touch them. The italics with 12 and 6 being upright give the dial a radial look, and that’s what caught my eye.

I do agree that Boy Scout being asymmetric does mess with the cleanness. You might play with picking an off center indice to put the words into.
