Oh that’s an interesting idea, thanks for thinking this through. Maybe not a dot but a line, something not round Cool you like the look Makko!!

I like the overall look. My fav is the black with red/white lines. However, it’s hard to tell which side of the lines are important. I would suggest that you add a dot on the extremity of the lines. They could be of the color of the other line. Then, I would buy it.

Nice minimalist design. I could see the blacK one being popular with Goths!

You are right about R&D and light would rock! I now see the issue with the cover piece. There might be a solution… or two, and you mention a really interesting one! I had a similar challenge with my ZAGA concept… Thank you Cory for the insight and the support!!!

Uzumaki has a backlight, and it’s analog. Just depends on how the design is realized, but I agree, LEDs would be awesome with this.

I love this idea, skewed analog for the win!

My concern with the build would be it seems like it would be necessary to put a round cover piece in the middle. Something similar to the eleeno watches to cover up the mechanics of the movement and keep the design sleek.

Perhaps making this element the same color as the background would minimize the deception.

Then again, I don’t know, the movement could be concealed in the outer edges of the case on transparent plastic layers… hmmm, R&D would be interesting on this design.

five star yessir!

Woah Chris, awesome input, thank you! I agree with all of it, the light, the straps and the materials (stainless steel with coating ♥). Leather straps just have to be made looking good with the case - hard geometry vs soft strap. Check HERE for a lit version of the DEGREES!

perhaps a leather strap would give it a contemporary look, and leather straps come in many colours nowadays, thus I think green or red leather straps wouldn’t be much of a problem. Besides, it would go well with aluminium or stainless steel coated in their respective colours.

think it needs a backlight though, which is usually missing from all or most analogue watches…having a backlight would make it really cool! I think….such as having a green backlight for the white strap green hand version and a white backlight for the green strap version etc. The backlight should be something totally backlit like a digital watch, not just a small light at the corner of the watch.

Without the arrows, there are several reading for 3th images: 9:40, 2:40, 9:17, and 2:17. My suggestion was designed one of the end of each line a little bit different so that we can know which end is telling the time. 5/yes.
