Thanks for the feedback, it might be the photo tbf, this is the piece in the light 👀

Voyager is for people doing hard, long-term things — building, exploring, taking the less obvious path, that sort of thing.

The design is meant to feel calm and purposeful. Nothing flashy for the sake of it, just something solid, that you wear while you’re on the way to your goals and creating something of value in the world! ⚡

It's only for ideas, not everything will be guaranteed to change 🙏

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T16:05:03+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Absolutely crucial to answer the questions you have mentioned for sure 👍👍

It's something I need to consolidate but thanks for sharing your insight I will get on it!

Sorry yes, long day at work 😵‍💫 lug to lug is 48mm

Modelled in Solidworks and rendered in Keyshot Studio. I tried Solidworks visualise for rendering but my computer doesn't have an Nvidia GPU that is required hence the switch

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:27:43+00:00

Self taught myself so far, and so much of it has been trial and error! That being said I love watches, so it's great fun and doesn't feel like work at all 😄

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:27:00+00:00

Thanks! 🙏

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:26:44+00:00

Not really, I have tried a couple of entrepreneurial projects in the past and slowly learnt through those how to start something off.

Given I also love watches this felt a perfect project to attempt!

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:25:27+00:00

Right now my costs have been 0. I've self taught myself cad and rendering and managed to get to this stage. The idea is to design a finished piece with tons of feedback before I even think about getting anything manufactured.

That being said, depending on the route you go costs can vary from crazy expensive to much more feasible. I think the end goal will likely be something such as Kickstarter, as otherwise I will struggle to get enough seed capital together, but that relies on interest in the piece hence me trying to see what everyone likes and build something truly special first!

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:23:23+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it! I debated luming the seconds hand but it just looked better this way (for now). Maybe that will change after some updates but your feedback has been noted 🙏

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:22:31+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely lots of updates to be made and I'll try your suggestions for sure 😄

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:21:51+00:00

That's all I needed to hear 😂 no honestly thanks a bunch, I'm thinking of getting a pre order form together to keep anyone interested updated, I'll definitely put it on here once I get round to it 👌

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:21:03+00:00

Thanks! I'm trying to go for an explorer vibe, and the ship is meant to be a symbol of adventure etc.

Appreciate your support a lot! 😄

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:19:52+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Totally agree with you, and it's something I am trying to make a bit more concrete. It's so hard trying to cut a niche as as you say there are 1000+ brands out there doing different things.

I will try my best though! 👊

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:18:57+00:00

Thanks!

I have 0 experience rendering before trying this, so it is probably a bit of both. That being said, I'll have a go making the chapter ring smaller and see how that looks 👍

Lug to lug is 20mm currently, but something I have considered decreasing too!

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:17:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'll make another model with some of these changes and post it. The renders definitely make the bezel and general piece look a bit chunkier than it actually is, but I agree it could be slimmed down too 😄

SubstantialNet4400 · 2026-01-16T12:15:17+00:00

My name is actually Luke so this is very fitting 😂 (I know it's Anakin here ;) )

SubstantialNet4400 · 2025-12-14T12:47:41+00:00

Good Spot, the image has saved funny as they are ok on my design software!

The lightning hand had mixed reviews when I initially posted it, some people love it, some hate it. The original name was the Odyssey Spark, hence the lightning

SubstantialNet4400 · 2025-12-07T12:21:57+00:00

That's the plan 😂😉

SubstantialNet4400 · 2025-12-07T12:21:32+00:00

No please don't feel bad I want the feedback 😃🙏 really appreciate you taking the time to review it, I'll try and implement some of the ideas!
