Stay creative, stay critical, stay tuned!

Check my page (click my yellow name) to see an Easter version of the Inch. Enjoy!

The issue you are mentioning would require some more serious research, once the watch would go to the next step. I think, leaving a gap as wide a s the “helping holes” I left in the back of the strap would be the solution (until a better comes up hehe). This way you have a) still a proper channel for the inserts b) a good opportinuity to blow or wipe each area out, assuming, the straps are that flexible and c) it’s still one part – nothing to lose. With research I mean, is it easier/safe to have one watch and the inserts or having a covering part, that needs to be removed each time? There are probably 10 points with several options that have to be compared and evaluated. It’s definitely a good point, you found there

I have a solution to this, however. Instead of slipping the material into the channel, why not have the ability to slip off the whole backing plastic? Then you would easily be able to put your paper (or other) design into this backing plastic, then slip the plastic and the design back onto the watch.

I’m not sure how this would work – but to me it would make it far easier to change designs.

Yeah, customization is becoming more and more a minimum requirement for everything. INCH is making it so easy.

**** watches, mh… I can make some, that are just admired by a smaller amount of people For now I’m happy how this one is recieved.

I have the same concerns as Tim and I’m almost 100% sure your idea with magnetic analogue hands dont work for a hundred reasons ( Already the insert paper alone would have already very negative effects on the magnetic field. This field also cant be too strong. Otherwise it would just kill the analogue movement instantly. Last but not least, how to avoid, that the hands dont stuck, when they overlap (e.g. at 12.00)?

However, maybe it could be solved on a similar way: use a high shaft analogue movement. For the dial area the paper/design could be inserted separately and not together with the main stripe. Cut the right side (3 o’clock position) in same heights as the “inch” logo (maybe 3mm). There is some similar concept at some promotion wall clock: http://www.giffits.de/wanduhr-mit-herausnehmbarem-ziffernblatt-werbemittel-119597.htm

Or how you think to really solve this technically?

I love the fact that its kind of only half designed and is up to the user to create their own inserts. One watch with unlimited possibilities. Customisation for the win!
