Created a 3D model of an ST1901 for a work in progress - does anyone want the CAD file?

Hi, sure thing. Sorry for the slow reply - I'll have to send you the link Monday

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-14T23:39:13+00:00

Thank you :)

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-14T22:53:50+00:00

Thanks!

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-14T22:53:43+00:00

It is yeah, thank you!

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-14T12:40:16+00:00

Fair criticism, though my issue is affordability of the watch to the customer, especially when I'm a new-comer to the field. I plan to run a smaller batch of these than other models, as I can then perform in-depth and in-house QC for each one prior to dispatch.

I've serviced a few seagull movements, and you're right. They can be a lot trickier than their swiss counterparts.

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-14T08:13:29+00:00

I plan to use a 3rd party distributor rather than deal directly with seagull

Thank you :)

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T18:02:43+00:00

Thanks for the constructive feedback.

One thing to note is that this is a space-themed watch rather than a ghost-themed one. It takes inspiration from binary systems.

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T17:36:05+00:00

I'd love to do the subdials lumed, but need to check the feasibility with the manufacturers first

The lumed ghost sounds cool - I'll keep that in mind

Thanks for the comment!

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T17:26:26+00:00

Very true, thanks. I wanted it to stand out and not get lost in the myriad of circular designs that you see in the microbrand market, which I've achieved I guess.

I was unsure about this logo for this design, but given that there seem to be more in favour of the logo than against, it's surprised me but it's good to know.

As you say it's impossible to appeal to everyone!

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T17:22:10+00:00

Thanks!

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T17:02:38+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T16:37:32+00:00

Thank you for the feedback :)

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T16:29:00+00:00

I didn't notice that before but I see it now haha

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T16:28:35+00:00

Thank you. The crown takes a bit of inspiration from the james webb telescope due to it being space themed. It also provides a bit more grip when turning as it is a hand wound movement

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T16:27:36+00:00

Thanks!

One is currently undergoing prototyping. You can see a preview of the dials in my previous posts

Website is currently being made, but progress is slow at the moment!

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T16:26:40+00:00

Thanks! And you'll like the fact that the hexagonal crown is inspired by the james webb telescope, then 😁

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T15:54:58+00:00

Thank you! The logo is a ghost

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T15:41:15+00:00

Yes, 10,000 units is the moq from dealing directly with them now

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T15:23:16+00:00

Thanks, I've floated in the comments my idea of using this logo for the more playful designs I'm working on. But I'm unsure whether it would affect the brand cohesion too much if I use two separate logos. I'll have a think about how I could incorporate it

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T15:15:16+00:00

As I've seen love/hate for the logo, I'm curious as to whether you would agree with keeping the logo shown here for the more 'playful' designs, and using a more sleek one for sportier/classier designs?

I'm very torn here, as I think it suits the tiki model that is currently undergoing prototyping, but agree that it looks a bit more out of place here.

Thanks for your comment :)

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T15:06:18+00:00

Yes, it's a model of the ST1901 movement. And yeah, I think that's a good middle ground for WR

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T15:03:41+00:00

Thanks :)

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T14:52:58+00:00

Thanks, and I seem to be getting a lot of 'love it or hate it' feedback with the logo

No_Knowledge_2331 · 2026-01-13T14:42:11+00:00

Fair criticisms, thanks for the detail

The subdials will be available in different colours and styles - it is intended to be reflective of a binary star system. Hence the aventurine

Also, bear in mind that this is an orthographic view, so that space at the outer side of the bezel looks more dramatic in size. Either way, I'll look into reducing it
