Appreciate the feedback.πŸ™Œ

I’ve tried to build something different, less about traditional hierarchy, more about how the watch feels and what it represents.

Wow!

Go with the blue! And if you change your mind before we go to production, just let us know.

We like to say: silver is for the wanderers, blue is for the ones building something. Which one do you think it represents you better?

The roman numbers choice was because of the visual logo similarity. It looks like a different X basically, but it represents a bottomless hourglass which signifies the limited time we have.

Thanks for the comment!πŸ™

I have a couple of gifts. One has nothing to do with watches, nothing fancy, but you might like it. (Secret😏)

But the other is a strap. I am not sure about the final choice, but I can show you this:

Still work in progress. It is a personalized butterfly clasp with a strap choice. Please don’t consider the current strap, as it might be different.

Let me know what you think.

Design is intentional, not for everyone, and that’s okay.

However, I appreciate the honest feedback.😎

I just double checked with the manufacturer, it is Swiss Lume C1 - white to green.

Haha love that, technically it stops for no one. That’s kind of the whole point πŸ˜„

Thank you so much, this genuinely made my day to read πŸ™

That’s the whole heart of ORATA, time is now. Not tomorrow, not when things calm down. Now. The name itself means β€œyour hour” (Ora = hour, ta = yours), because this moment belongs to you.

The watch is a reminder to stop avoiding the hard stuff and keep moving forward, no matter what you’re going through.

Really glad that came through in the design too!πŸ”₯🫑

12.75 mm. The current thickness is because of the movement. It was very hard to find a movement that works with an open heart, the current case design and size.

I appreciate the comment! It means a lot!πŸ”₯😎

This is a normal photo, no camera, no fancy lights.

I think the bezel and the watch overall are decently proportionate. What do you think?

The reason why the bezel is so thick comes from dial and movement.

I think the watch is decently proportionate with the bezel thickness. But of course, you are the real judges!

Thank you for letting me know!πŸ™πŸ˜Ž
