I like it :-!

Maybe if you make the numerals a little larger and with a different font I would like it more ;-)

You know, I'm so blind maybe I would see those inner 24 hr numerals as little grey dots until I would use a 10x loupe, my fault. LOL :-d

But it's up to you. Anyway this could be the next trend about dials. :-)

Cheers!

Thanks DR Dreadlocks!

I appreciate the feedback... now that you mention it the 24hr numbers are quite small... i'll try something bigger...

also, on second look i can't say i like the hands either... wasn't sure if i wanted a plongeur look or something more spartan... i was trying to keep everything fairly functional... from the spacing to the positioning of the hands...

:think:

thanks again for the feedback!

Like the floating hands. Just some friendly suggestions...
- Possibly get rid of all the 1-12 numbers, but keep the tiny 24 hour numbers - see how that would look?
- Or, shorten the lines at the hour marks so that they are the same length as the shorter minute marks, but just make the hour marks thicker. The shorter, thicker hour marks will allow for you to pump up the size of the 1-12 numbers.
