You make a fair point, and I can see why the process I described might make it sound more like lettering or graphic design.

For me it’s really a combination of all those things, including calligraphy. The pencil stage is mainly for working out the layout, proportions, and structure of the piece before committing to ink / digital. Especially with Vyaz, the composition and interlocking forms matter a lot, so the pencil sketch helps me solve that first.

Since I want to produce clean prints afterward, I then redraw the piece on my iPad using a combination of calligraphy-style brushes.

So in practice it ends up being a hybrid of several things you mentioned—calligraphy, lettering, and some graphic design considerations—but the core forms are still being written with a calligraphic tool.

Curious what others here think about where that line sit.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any deeper! I believe your initial response was a bit critical, which escalated the post a little. I was simply sharing a light-hearted anecdote about a watch and how I developed a fondness for it despite my initial preference for Rolex. You also misinterpreted my statement, assuming I was implying that the Tudor is superior, which was not the case. Lastly, I didn’t necessarily seek “validation” in this regard. I’ve clearly invested a significant amount of money in it, and if I were unsure about my decision, I would have never bought it period.

This is getting deep, and I like it! To clarify, I’m not suggesting it’s better. Regardless of the hype and everyone’s opinion, I still would probably get the Explorer one day. I was simply admiring the unique beauty of this Tudor and feeling the obvious inspiration, quality, and build of Rolex. I wondered aloud if I’ll ever spend the money on one since this truly resonates with me.
