WUSSE - Theme Discussion

Where is our dear Triton?
WUSSE - Design (Part 1) - The Case

[Snake Pliskin]

After reading all the comments it may be best to forego a themed watch.
I personally can take or leave a themed watch (it would not stop me from buying it). But seeing how it is being met adversely by at least a few members , it may be best to focus our time & energy into the watch aesthetics.

On the same note, if we went with a theme watch, I think we would be pigeon holed in trying to design a watch that would represent the theme.
This will limit our overall creative options. We are ultimately going to be wearing a watch, not a theme.

I suggest we move forward to the dial material and layout.

Давайте не будем на страницах этого форума вести дискуссии о роли Советской Армии,ее простых солдат в освобождении Вашей страны.Я живу в Украине в городе Харьков.У нас есть улица ,названная в честь Отакара Яроша,офицера подразделения чешской армии,участвовавшего вместе с Красной Армией в боях за мой город,жители которого с благодарностью вспоминают чешских воинов.Может Вы хотите сказать,что дед моего друга,простой советский солдат,который участвовал в оказании помощи жителям Праги,которые подняли восстание против нацистских захватчиков в мае 1945 года, хотел уничтожить культуру и ресурсы Вашего народа,как Вы написали? Я думаю,что он просто выполнял свой солдатский долг,помогая простым чешским людям.Так что не надо тут высказывать обиды в адрес Советского Союза.Брежнев и коммунистическая верхушка-это не весь Советский Союз.:thanks

Lets not mistake personal bravery of ordinary soldiers with parasiticaly machiavelistic policy of soviet gevernment...

As I said, if theme looses people, lets forget it...
And you are partially right - theme could restrict our creativity, which might be bad, but also good, depends on how you look at it...

I guess you are right...
Enough about this...

There is a fine line between a beautifully executed design and a circus act. In my mind a themed watch would be understated, it's link not necessarily obvious to the uninitiated. The B-Uhrs and divers sold by Steinhart are types of theme watches in my mind. The B-Uhr dial is clean and elegant, while the back on some have an engraving of a pilot's head. That was more of what I had in mind with the term 'theme'. I certainly never implied, nor would I want, a timepiece that looks like a Mickey Mouse watch.

I think a well executed theme shouldn't bother anyone in the WUSSE project.

What about a watch made out of candy.
M&M hour markers; Twizzler hands; lollipop casing and a chocolate strap.

OR

a scratch and sniff variant?
