Thank you Pete! We will negotiate about the hat eating details in private

I’m impressed be the high rating. Such is rare. You maybe realized the downrating spree of the last days, on my designs and on other ones even more. I must admit, I doubt the 4.9 up there cause when downrating can be inappropriate, uprating can be too. But enough of this now.

This watch was accepted well from the beginning. Thank you everybody for telling me. You rock! Thanks for sharing short fan screams as well as little wishes or even doubts. All welcome and appreciated! I named my designs “futurewatches” and maybe this one is indeed a future watch.

Kind regards,
Sam from Germany

We might have here the first blog-submission-based TF analog watch !
Don’t worry about the ratings on your other concepts, TF team has means to be objective about it.

Wow that’s interesting… and great! I just hope this isn’t as much cheated as the downratings on my other watches are (Derezzed and On Line) and on Peter’s Turbine. The latter one suffered badly for NO reason. Anyway, the comments say it all, and I’m glad the watch gets noticed.

Good point! A fully precise time reading would only work with indicators. I let them away in favor of minimalism. Look at this. I think this would suit you well

Thank you for commenting!

Forgive me, but i still do not understand how one would be able to tell the time? I understand that the outer rings are seconds, semi-inner are minutes and the most inner rings are hours. But when i look at it, how would one distinguish like 4 or 5

Thank you Twix!

I tried some interesting shapes before I finally took the simple 3/4 circles. First I thought, it’s too simple and maybe boring. When I turned the watch hands, it suddenly became really interesting.

My initital idea was using one material only, no paint. But it’s an interesting point about the different shades. It could add some virtual complexity without becoming more complex actually. But my will to keep the purity is stronger

WOW! This watch is pure beauty. So simple and complex at the same time. One of the best watch designs I have seen. Please make this watch TF!!!!

If the rings were different shades of metal it would make it easier to differentiate the time perhaps? Love it.

i agree!
for me, all my watches have to be SS. i won’t really wear anything else.
SS strap would be nice

You make a good hint. I might try a metal version soon! I’m glad the main part is perfect for you. Thank you Dylan!
