From the workshop · Before & after
Same watch. A whole new character.
An existing watch became the starting point for a completely different look: a custom engraved dial with a half-human, half-machine portrait, raised metallic details and a red eye. A black strap completes the transformation. Have a watch you would like to reimagine? Send us a photo and your idea so we can check what is possible.
Inside the makeover: what changed and where to begin
The starting point The original watch had a cream dial, Hebrew numerals and a brown leather strap. Its case gave the project a starting shape; the new dial changed the visual direction.
The transformation A dark engraved portrait brings together human and machine details. Raised metallic features and a red eye give the dial its focus, while the black strap carries the darker palette beyond the face. The before-and-after photographs show how much character a dial can change.
Your version Send clear front and back photos of your watch, its model or movement if known, and what you want to keep or change. We review the dial fit, hands and condition before agreeing the work, price and timing. Some watches suit a dial replacement; others need a different build approach.
