    Pretty nice, very classy. I really like the hands - the design is unique and fits the feel of the watch, and they are a great length.

    I wonder if the outer track is necessary? You have every minute on display, why markers for all the seconds? Removing it completely would certainly change the look, and make the dial look a lot smaller, but all those markers seem like overkill.

    Look great. Unique hands and crown. Guilloche and layered dial. Class act.

    the goal was to display every second every minute and every hour.

    Understood. You certainly achieved that. I'm no one to question your vision.

    well here is it...one with black dial and another with dark blue dial. ...these images are rendered with Bunkspeed HyperShot, but the first image was rendered within 3ds max with Vray.Hypershot is a realtime renderer.

    I prefer the white dial. Just personal opinion though. But those hands are sweet!

    The intricacies of the dial are spectacular. However, it can be simplified a little bit. Every hand points to its specific dial, including the hour hand. I presume the markers between the Roman numerals (hours) and the Arabic numerical dial marking the seconds (minute hand dial) were added to balance the look of the dial? These markers seem superfluous and contrast with the intent of the dial to mark the progress of time with high degree of accuracy.

    The more I look at it the more my eyes wonder. I want to look at the dial and figure it out. Time of the day be damned. The minute hand will require to be either manufacture of an exotic metal or it will be required to be redesigned. It seems the main support of the hand is done by two filaments. The hour hand is a more robust design with a bolder circular detail supporting the hand.

    The case contains a detail high-end watches are missing, a crown protector. I really like this detail. I am somewhat clumsy and bang my watches against every hard surface I come across. The silver dial works best...

    And those are my two cents worth....
