I am having a lot of fun with my watch project. I made this prototype (see picture) and I have 3 other designs that I am starting to make. Here are the specifications:
- QC-10 aluminum case and outer links (QC-10 is as hard as type 316Lstainless steel)
- Custom laser engraved backside crystal for “floating numbers” effect
- Solid leather center links with tube and screw construction
- Butterfly clasp
- ETA 2824-2 automatic Swiss movement
I am further working with a supplier on a special proprietary coating for the case, that will make the aluminum scratch resistant.
