2011 WUS Chinese Moonphase SE Project - DESIGN

As for the ST25 case options, this one is not bad:
::::»¶Ó.·ÃÎÊÌì½òº£Å¸ÊÖ±í¼¯ÍÅÏúÊÛÓÐÏÞ¹«Ë¾ÍøÕ¾::::
It seems to have sufficient height for the under-dial calendar works, and the bezel is not to tall or vertical. The lugs angle nicely into the case, and most of the bulk sits low in the case, as can be seen from underneath

Hmmm..

It has a bit of classic JLC feel to it. I like that

3. I also prefer the Sea-gull logo and brand, instead of 'Maurice Blum'.

I don't think there will be Maurice Blum on the dial. I guess we have the freedom to specify it, as long as it's not something like Rolex
Don't know if it can be SeaGull though..

The tourbillon cases may not fit even if the outer dimensions seem correct due to differences in stem height.

I am not familiar with the case lugs and it's position on the wrist, basicaly we have 3 types





How about semi seathrough caseback? A lot of space for engravings.

Hi all,


I'd like to propose some more details:


1. As we have a moon-phase, and there's an idea at least 8 to be chinese, I think the numbers should not be 3,9,12, but 2,4,8,10,12, as 8 is chinese in red.
2. Another way to have a red color is to make the moon red, with white stars.
3. I also prefer the Sea-gull logo and brand, instead of 'Maurice Blum'. Very nice place for the brand and logo is the lower part of the moon-phase indicator. And beneath them to be 'WUS made'
4. I still think the guilouche dial is better.


Unfortunately I'm not so familiar with a graphic design software and can't show what I mean. I'll try to make it in CAD to show the ideas.

I think its better that we find examples on the internet and post it here

I like this design

We can keep the silver dial, hands and numbers in blue, 8 in chinese and red
Also we can use this half ring for moonphase with the "sea-gull" under it

I just tried to make some visual works to show my ideas:



and the moon-phase area:



of course these crests are from the cursor, and they should not be there :), don't count them.

i dont like the red...
red to me fits better in a racing type watch, say a chronograph

looks good minus the seagull logo... i don't think we have the rights to use it.

There seems to be a lot of different opinions on what makes a good watch - and everyone is right! So instead of talking about what makes a good looking watch, we should all focus on what makes a good looking CHINESE watch. So, the 1963 tianjin chinese air re-issue would be a good starting point for design cues.

@miroman

Nice work, if it's possible to put the moonphase dial more up, in the inner circle, so that we have number 6 as well

no one sad anything about the rights for using the sea-gull name and logo, but there is no problem, we do not have to use 'em, if the factory forbids.

Any thoughts about having a more unique position for the complications? Something like this:

Obviously, a centered second hand would look best in this case.

Also, I liked the domed crystal idea - you know, that classic, retro look even if it has to be acrylic - and the "WUS Made" idea... that was pure genius!

The ST2528 movement is the limit

Thank You for that. I had to rearrange the moon dial, added the big date too. Here are the results:
