What time is it? Watches and horology

We will also do LFGSS watch drinks for sure on a weekend when more people can come along. Anyone interested who I haven’t already mentioned that to should def PM me and I’ll organise.

I've been flaky af.

Is it a 37mm titanium slim 3 hander with no date and killer typo? Count me in.

You’re (un)surprisingly close

So basically, I've become involved in Thomas van Straaten's project, VPC, which he's documenting on Fratello:

https://www.fratellowatches.com/watchbrands/vpc/

It started when I left a typically nerdy/snarky comment on one of the early articles pointing out that while he was talking a good game when it came to the typography, what he was showing didn't really live up to it. He got in touch and I ended up doing a quick bit of work re-kerning the logo he already had (which he mentions in episode 6). But quite quickly it led on to a decision to do a bit more than that, which I don't think I can really elaborate on right now, but suffice to say the final watch shouldn't have any crap typography on it. :)

But yeah - 37mm, slim 3 hander, no date. Nailed it @hurricane_run

Please tell me it's all done in Comic Sans

The only choice, really.

That's cool! Congrats.

Cheers! 👍

Talking about Comic Sans… the numerals on these are all done in the Charles Schulz comics style. Even the bezel.

Keep us posted on the great reveal! I genuinely hadn't read the fratello thing. Great news. The gamekeeper turns poacher.

That is very cool!

That cool!

Too bad it's 37 😉

😂

Oog tempted by the surf board one.. love those numbers on the bezel

I like that they even rounded the triangle off.

That one is the new, smaller 38mm case size btw, same as my new green one.

Seriously cool that you can live the dream and stamp out all things Arial. Congrats!

Really good looking concept, will be very tempting when it becomes available. Bravo.

stamp out all things Arial.

Murmaider?

Fixed it for you.

@Regal really looking forward to the reveal!

The project sounds great so I'm another one following. With your involvement so far has it made you more critical or even sympathetic towards others designers/makers?

Nice one.

I'm kind of losing interest waiting for my pelagos fxd. Will be great when it comes, no doubt, but the lack of any sort of update or communication after ordering is also quite frustrating.
