the snowflake project
Expanding beyond mods…
I have always been fascinated by watch dials that provide exceptional engagement… from the washi paper dials of the Citizen Chronomaster to the elegant eggshell pattern of an Omega Speedmaster Racing.
Follow along as I prototype, develop and bring to production my own watch: beautifully textured dial, elegantly thin, and still reasonably priced.
During my in-house case design process, I will be producing a first batch of 5nowflake watches using externally sourced cases.
