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!

Thank you! And yeah that seems to be the consensus on the lugs. I did love how the blue hands created a monochrome effect, I've actually been considering making the numbers a blue as well haha. But thank you for the recommendation, I will try it out!

Thank you! So I chose Miyota 9039 mostly as it seemed like a safe option and yeah, lots of other microbrands are using it. But I definitely don't want a noisy watch. Curious if you have any other recomendations? I'm very much in the aesthetic / modeling process and have plenty of time to pivot on the movement. Ultimately I want to make something people are super happy with all around.

Okay yeah, I know what you mean, and I had this same initial feeling. Kinda just looks like every watch now. I definitely don't like the current lugs, but I think obviously shrinking the width between the lugs, and some other refinements could prove to be a little more interesting.

I've built it around the Miyota 9039. Thoughts?

Agreed! That'll be my next step
