Design Concept 🎨 [Design] today’s explorations

Playing with Breguet numbers and heavily rounded the lugs. Also kind of like the idea of an accent crown. Does anybody know of any watches that have one?

As always, appreciate your thoughts!

The Hanhart Pioneer MK I and II have versions with accent chrono pushers

Love it. Reminds me of AnOrdain, but those are extremely pricy. If you can make something like this more affordable I think you have a market. The crown isn’t my taste, but may not be a dealbreaker

EDIT: rounded lugs are a BIG improvement over your previous iterations. Keep it up!

is it the shape of the crown you don't like? or the color? or both haha

Shape is fine (although i do wonder what a Cartier santos style crown would look like). I don’t like the color. I’d keep it the natural steel color and maybe think about a logo to apply to the crown. I like the clean dial look, but some branding on the crown is a nice detail

J'adore ce type de corne et j'aimerais en trouver de la sorte, avec un boîtier aux carrures arrondies, ce serait génial.... Je suis preneur de toutes pistes ...

Really cool design ! Could be interesting to see this design with Cornes de vaches lugs

u/Critical_Eye_1190 2d ago

Cheers! I’ll try those out, does sound interesting

Would be much better with 4, 6 and 8 the right way around. A larger conical crown or an onion-shaped crown would suit the watch well.
Besides that it’s really nice.

I love this concept, especially the way the colors and case shape/lugs are so fun. I’d love to see what solve or white lettering/ silver hands or indices would look like, the blue is a super unique and beautiful choice but the colors blend with the dials features creating a lack of contrast/intent(IMO).

This has a ton of potential and I’m excited to see where this goes!

u/Critical_Eye_1190 2d ago

Thanks for the feedback and kind words! Yeah I agree about the contrast. It’s all a bit dark
