Designer Dieter Rams worked at Braun from 1962 to 1995, and some of his ideas were picked up by Apple. One of the rules he formulated states: "good design means as little design as possible." The author of Instructables under the nickname chrisference_ decided to hypertrophy this principle. The result is a great watch.
Although the master mainly worked on homemade in the Fusion360 program, he began with a sketch on paper. Such:
So, the watch will be universal - desktop-wall. Having decided what he wants, the master takes on the program:
He starts with a 6x6 inch square, which rounds off the corners by 0.5 inches. Then it makes the wall thickness 0.25 inches, the body depth 2 inches up from the square and 0.125 down, in total 2.125. Finally, it makes the case beveled: below it will have a depth of 1.125 inches, above - 2.125. It’s more convenient to look at the watch from below when it is located high on the wall.
Now the master takes on the dial. This is the same 6x6-inch square with the same rounded corners. Its thickness is 0.25 inches. A 0.45-inch diameter hole is provided in the middle to fit a standard quartz movement.
In order to be able to fasten the dial to the case without glue, as well as remove it to access the battery compartment, the master provides latches at the case:
And the dial has mates for them:
Now the master adds a rear wall to the body with a mounting hole for wall mounting:
Starts rendering in such a way that the case is with a wood texture, and the dial is without texture, evaluates the result:
Puts the result on thingiverse under CC-BY 3.0, and he himself is taken to print the case with a filament imitating wood, and the dial with an ordinary filament. Then collects the clock:
Of course, this is not the first and not the last watch in the world, not only without numbers, but also without divisions. The skill of error-free reading from them is developed surprisingly quickly.
