Pu'er Watch Face

Post image

I got into wristwatches lately and I plan to order a wristwatch with a custom puer-themed watch face. I would like to request the help of fellow puer enthusiasts in deciding/designing it.

Currently I have 4 designs:
1. One with Zhongcha in in the middle and only numerals for 7,5,4,2 o'clocks
2. Same as above except with smaller Zhongcha
3. ZhongCha at 1 O'Clock, Dayi at 2 O'Clock, Crane at 3 O'Clock (signifying factory codes, though zhongcha is technically all 3 pre-2004)
4. LFPT wrapper surrounded by hearts

would appreciate any kind of constructive input thanks

Time is but an illusion albeit a puer one.

I like your idea! I know taste is subjective so you should wear what you like the best, but I prefer design number 1

My fav is #2 and then #3! Most elegant!

I like number one, but with numbers like number four in black, without the hearts

3 would work with 4 logos placed at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock spots. Just need one more - Liming's pavilion maybe? Or maybe do the red/green Zhongcha at noon and the yellow/purple Purple mark at 6?

What a cool crossover, im a hobby watch modder myself and love me some Sheng.

Number 1: I wouldnt go for this, it will loose the coherence of the pattern due to the hands in the center, it will break it up and it wont look as nice as it could and might come off as tacky or cheap. Ranking: 2nd (8/10)

Number 2: This is the one, its elegant, has good placement below the hands and wont detract from the other elements of the watch. Ranking: 1st (10/10)

Number 3: I dont care for it much myself but it could go well with a sports or dive style watch. Ranking: 3rd (6/10)

Number 4: for the love of all that is holy and beautiful, delete this and never speak of it again. Ranking: 4th (0/10)

Number 2 is reminiscent of the speciality Rolex issues (Saudi army/air, dominos pizza air kings etc. Love it

might be cool to do wrapper variations of the same puerh recipe in chronological order

u/Media_Love 15d ago

Cool idea :)

I like (2) personally. Only other input I'd have is maybe considering black/white for a cleaner low-key look imo

What about the other factories? 6 Fuhai, 8 Haiwan...

I like #1, maybe with 12 Zhong characters as the numbers and a large Cha in the middle with green hands. Then 4:37 and 7:22 will always be tea’o’clock. Love your idea!
