Alright, here are some wireframe and untextured shots:


The leather strap was an afterthought, I spent very little time on it - as a result, the mesh is pretty glitchy and messy.


A closer look at the actual watch mesh. As you can see, my use of polygons is excessive to say the least :lol:


This is just to illustrate how the movement fits into the case.


An alternative version of the watch, black face with white and silver markings.

And I may sound like a total idiot, but I never thought the wheel in the far left could be rotating so fast. lol
The balance wheel, it's called. It's not actually rotating, it's oscillating back and forth. But you're right, it does move faster than in most watches - my design uses a 36000BPH escapement, which means the balance wheel moves back and forth 10 times per second. Such a fast mechanism is a rarity in real watches because it's a pain to build and maintain (a lot of wear), but it keeps very accurate time.

You just took pictures of your own watch you bastard :P
Heh, I wish - I'm nowhere near rich enough to be able to afford an IWC watch.

Thanks again for the comments everyone :happy:
