Keep your eyes peeled for the MkII version when it hits the blog. Hopefully it will strike more of a cord than this version did.

But the weight have to be equallly distributed around the disk, be as light as possible and need a higher torque movement because if it's like a turning-disc clock, a normal one will do this : when the weight is higher at the 3 o'clock position it will pull the weight down at the 6 o'clock and when the movement will want to get the time at 7 o'clock the weight will pull it down and destroy the movement. A single-hand display don't have this problem. ( I learned that the last year when I planned to do a turning-disk clock ) Helixed surface make it more steampunk.

(thats not difficult! lol) Im glad you like it! Yeah I think it would look cool with more conventional hands too. Thanks for the feedback and the comments! :D Keep your eye out for MKII when it eventually hits the blog! You know more than me regarding the movement side of things!

I imagined a lightweight plastic for the discs, the satin finish looks nice with a metallic case. The discs could have cut outs to let the light through from underneath. Alternatively they could be a clear plastic with a coating over the majority excluding the illuminated parts which would give a similar effect. Thanks for the feedback!

( like the Marvin M014/M024 & the Rolex Cellini Prince ). I would buy even if it was two hand instead of helixed surface. I love dual-dial watches.

( I think ! based on the Marvin M014/M024 ) The choice of the material and it's thickness is important, because if it's too heavy, the movement souldn't work.

Would it still be the same concept with more traditional hands? I dunno. Thanks for the feedback! :D Im pretty easy regarding the details, so it wouldn’t need to be a disc.

I'm glad you like it. Hopefully TF will see past the low ratings. Thanks for positive comment! :D Yeah you could achieve a similar effect with a LCD but it might loose some charm.

I have improved the proportions and made it sleeker and edgier. Also I have linked the two displays to make it look more scroll like and added markers for extra detail and easier time reading, check them out! http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.277291575685910.65181.159423137472755&type=3 I have added MkII images to my FB page (PF Design) click on my yellow name to link to the page.
