PROCESS The shape is often created through rought sketching by using pen or pencil.
INSPIRATION It is important to me to challenge myself in different ways. When creating watches I often try to find my inspiration from elsewhere like cars.
SHAPE DEVELOPMENT There is many stages in the process of developing watch designs. Marker sketching is a quick and eas to read when the design is still under developement.
3D RENDERING After the idea is created through many sketches the watch is transformed to an 3d rendering in Solidworks.
FINAL IDEA After the idea is created through many sketches the watch is transformed into a 3d rendering in Solidworks.
The indicators that are printed on the glass, have the same effect like sandblasted glass compared to regular clear glass.
The watch is very simple and it have been high priority to keep the details very simple
The indicators are printed on the glass, this gives the watch another type of depth. Indicators
This means that the dial is going to be seen in two levels. The transparent indicators and the hands moving underneath.

Ideas for a bracelet for Seals watches. The watch is inspired by construction of a tank. When creating a idea for the bracelet the tank belts, was a good inspiration.

The inspiration from thank thread, would be visible by using screws. This gives the watch a rough look, but with a high finish and detailing.
the screwspins are visible along the entire bracelet.
For using less parts, the links on the sides could be connected.
The links have a rounding at only one of the ends. So the design of the bracelet dont have too many round suffaces.
The screws are a bit anonymous, but the polished screws could also be a option.
The links could have a little rounding for better fit to the wrist, but it does not seem like it should be necessary. Because there are so many movable links
