I’m going to describe an up-coming project so that I can blog about the design and commissioning process.
The client is a good friend of mine, but it is none-the-less a genuine project that needs to be…
- fit for purpose
- aesthetically pleasing
- within a budget (yet to be decided).
Mark collects a specific type of Omega ‘Contsellation’ watch and would like me to make a box to keep them in. I thought I’d start by looking at the design features of this type of watch. They all have a distinctive square/round face, and the metal wrist band is integrated into the watch itself. Here’s an example of one…
There is also the Omega Ω symbol. Another design feature is etched into the back…
With all this in mind, here is a sketch of my initial idea…I’ve copied and pasted the emails we sent to each other below.
Hi Mark
What do you think to this? No idea how your watches would sit inside yet, but just getting the ball rolling…
I’ll keep our progress updated on this blog. I hope it will be an interesting example of what goes into a piece of work before the actual making starts.

What program do you use for your 3d rendering? Your design looks pretty cool so far!
Hi There. Thanks for dropping by! Glad you’re liking the design. I use Sketchup for all my design work. I find it intuitive to use and quick to play around with ideas.
