Beautiful! I wish I would have gone to see Mt Fuji when I lived there many years ago. It was nice to see it as you sketched it.

Sorry, don’t wanna be the one, cause everyone here said nice stuff as I see but for me its a no, no. Summary of how I wasted my money. Good thought but very bad application IMO.

Hi, Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and tastes. Feel free to let me know If you have constructive suggestions on how the application process could be improved in the future from any of your own experiences on similar projects.

Luckily, you are not a watchmaker. Worst handling ever. Dial failed big time. Where’s the day window? What happened to the day? If you weren’t planning to utilize that feature why didn’t you choose a different movement suitable for the job? Those strokes were both delicate at all and am not trying to demoralize or demotivate you but trying to be honest, maybe you will try again with a more professional approach. I think you are more youtuber than a watch guy and just needed some content.

I am not a watchmaker, or even a massive watch nerd, and never said I was. From a creative project point of view, I just wanted to give it a try, and share my experience . It was not just done for content. I actually wanted to see if I could do it, and then add an artistic touch, and then share the experience. Why not.

After all that effort you've created a watch where it is hard to actually tell the time. Form and function should be in balance. Including some indices, which could have been quite subtle, would have enhanced the aesthetics of the dial and also improved its usability.
@SketchbookExplorer
@SketchbookExplorer 2 ай бұрын
Interesting point. I could always add indices in the future. But I wanted to try to focus the balance more towards art than function on my second watch project. Personally I have no problem telling the time with the watch, and I always have a mobile phone, if I need a very precise time. Thanks for the suggestion though, I will bare it in mind for the future.

Saw your video and i have a question - if i may. Sadly, I find myself only liking watches that are very expensive. But I don't care about the name, so my question is : Is it possible to have someone (not me!) make a watch from scratch by buying the parts to make my dream watch? Is this possible?
@SketchbookExplorer

I guess it is possible, it just depends on the custom style you are looking for, and the parts.

After reading the details you sent, unfortunately I cannot suggest anyone to build such a watch, but have you considered watches with similar inspirations, such as the Seiko Prospex, or Seiko Presage. Hope that helps.

Nice colour scheme!!! My suggestion if you are doing this again is to mask the hour markers (you could use solder heat tape and cut it to size) but otherwise lovely job. I'm crap with putting on hands. I obliterated a few second hands by accident so am nervous doing this again. Namoki have a good selection of parts, I've looked on their website before.

@SketchbookExplorer 3 ай бұрын
Thanks :) Yep, I have been looking into ways to mask the markers, when I decide to leave them in place. Thanks for the tip. And yes, the seconds hands are a very tricky.. Though, once I started opening up movements to fix them, I discovered a whole other world of trickiness.

Hi there, very impressive work! I am doing the exact thing you are doing here, except I am only painting on cupboard using the acrylic paint. The acrylic paint is doing the job, but it is very hard to blend(given the micro size of my brush tips) May I know what kind of paint are you using? It looks like you are using the acrylic to paint but I am not so sure. Thanks again!

Thanks. For this video, I mainly used standard acrylic paints, but I have also been using acrylic inks for this type of work, and they could be worth a try, especially when it comes to blending. I hope that helps.
