Design a Watch from Scratch | Ep.2

This is the second episode where I design and develop a mechanical watch from scratch. Grovemade was nice enough to give me a sample of their cork, which has made me completely change directions of the watch from the last video because I'm in love with the material. I think that cork, metal and some type of clear acrylic would be so aesthetically pleasing, especially if you could see the bottom...

Just a quick one-off project! I made this iPad Air Leather Case out of genuine vegetable tanned leather from OA Leather Supply. The brown side has a beautiful pull-up so that when you fold it to hold the iPad, the oils and waxes rise to the surface.

Come back bro
Workin on it!
So when we talk about design of luxury products, you can ignore like half of these. Or am I mistaken, what do you think? I was just thinking about lucury items the whole video and only a few of those principles made sense in relation to luxury goods.
Hey Nicolas! This was super helpful! I about to turn in my ID portfolio for my college application. Would you possibly be willing to take a look at it and give me any advice??
I'd be happy to if it's not too late! Can you send me a public google drive link?
@@nicholomo I cant send you a link. RUclips wont let me. RUclips also got rid of the ability to send direct messages... so I have no idea how I'd send you a link. I've tried 3 times now and they keep deleting it. Any ideas?
@@brenan6 try adding your file or link to this folder drive.google.com/drive/folders/10HgZNw4EqxcN4x_EYxHA1SxWmaKTzMwd?usp=sharing
@@nicholomo Done!
@@brenan6 I can see why you were accepted! Overall I'd say it's a great start and you'll definitely be able build on it during school. I remade mine a ton while I was in school, and even now that I'm working, I'm still going back to it. Some feedback for the future - lengthen your best projects with more sketching and process imagery. Feel free to check mine out for inspo. It's not the best out there, but it got me my first ID job! www.nicholaspd.com/html/index.html
I like minimalism, but i find too much minimalism kind of ridiculous.
I'm love minimalist design aesthetically and I think a lot of products now try to go overboard with functionality. I think the products that people tend to keep and love are the ones that do one thing really well.
I never knew there was such awesome book! Thank you. Also nice informative video.
Love what you are doing with this series Nicholas and hope you are planning to continue it! I am a watchmaker and wanted to leave a few notes and some small corrections for people who have found these videos. Re: ETA 6497 - The movement Nicholas refers to as the ETA 6497-1 is actually a Seagull ST3600 or ST36. It is a Chinese clone of the Swiss made ETA. The patents on many old movements have expired so clones are common and completely legal. The ST36 is still a great movement and all a beginner needs. Also this movement is not a chronograph as stated in the video. A chronograph is a type of watch complication (anything a watch does beyond telling the time) which provides a stopwatch function. The ST36 is simply a manual mechanical movement. This means it is powered by a spring which the wearer must wind by hand. The confusion might come from the fact that, like many chronographs, it has a small hand on the dial separate from the central hands but this is simply the seconds hand. Having a “sub-seconds” hand was a feature on almost all pocket watches which is what this movement was originally designed for. Re: Miyota 9t22 - The second movement which Nicholas mentions, the Miyota, is not an automatic movement nor is it necessarily a women’s watch movement. As a previous commenter mentioned, an automatic movement is a type of mechanical movement whose spring is wound by a weight which oscillates as your arm moves. Instead, the Miyota is a quartz movement. These are the most common type of movement and are powered by a battery which sends electricity through a tiny quartz crystal causing regular vibrations. Quartz movements are great because of their price, size, and accuracy (far better than even the most expensive mechanical watch). Because quartz movements are able to be made at small sizes with greater ease the size of the 9t22 is quite common and used in both women’s and men’s watches. For those who are interested in making their own watch but find the amount of work Nicholas is putting in to be daunting there are many off the shelf parts that can be purchased relatively inexpensively. Many cases, hands, and dials can be found for movements such as the 6497/6498/ST36 or NH35 (made by Seiko). Just look up the movement name followed by the part you need. This can be a fun and relatively low effort first try building a watch. Again, love all the work you are doing Nicholas!
Thanks David! After three-ish years of on and off research I still don't know much about watches. Good to have some answers on this stuff! Just working on the last video, hopefully I can post soon:)
You essentially made a large stitched mousepad lol
How are people charging only $5 for a basic bundle on Fiverr?
Setting up gig pricing on Fiverr always seems like a race to the bottom. Higher prices typically mean higher quality work for the buyers though so don't charge too low.
Can’t wait for the 4th one I want to start this business and I’m working on it can you please share from where did you bought the parts
Yeah I'm buying everything from esslinger. I haven't had time to make a video in a while but I'll probably sum up all the videos in one for the last one.
I keep coming back to your channel hoping you will have uploaded ep 4!! I can't wait for the return!
Yeah I haven't had much time in a while but I'm still working on the last video whenever I can!
I hope you continue. this will gain more traction soon, i feel it
Workin on it!
and looking forward to it@@nicholomo
Bouring. You are so bad
Updates?
Working on the next one/possibly the final!
Thanks for sharing. All the best for your journey.
On ne vois rien et on ne comprend rien 😢
Thank you Nicholas, It was very helpful and informative for me. 🙂
Gosh, why do people who want to make watches act like that? Oh if the movement doesn't have a seconds counter it'll just be for aesthetic. This is the reason the majority of chronographs have vk63 or miyota movement with the 24 hour dial. Oh well it won't actually function? Its fine it'll just look cool. No ot won't, it will look like a 30$ fashion watch from china.
What’s your IG? Would like to work with you on my upcoming Watch design project
bring this back!!
nice advice, thanks!
What application are you using at 7:15 to design the watch?
fusion 360
Anyone can give me a recommendation for a book that related to product design material or product design shape related, except the book on this video??? I couldn't find that book on my country, glad someone can comment the recommendation, thankyouu
can't wait for the 4th part
more videos please!
'Automatic' refers to the automated winding of a mainspring in a mechanical watch. The Miyota movement that you have is called a 'Quarts', which refers to the use of a quarts crystal and an electric charge to keep time. So you were correct in that you don't have to set the time everyday but 'automatic' will always refer to a mechanical watch. All in all, love the video!
dont give up, only channel talking about how to actually work on your own watch from scratch, thanks alot! im begging you to finish the whole series!
That episode was awesome! I’m a recent ID grad interested in watch manufacturing. Are there any specific resources that you’re following to make this project? I’d like to try this myself
Awesome! No specific resources. The best way to learn this would probably be to buy a watch and take it apart.
@@nicholomo Definitely! Looking forward to your progress in future videos
Are you still into this? Will you like to connect and chat?
Sure my Instagram is in the description. You can send me a message there!
Oh nice! You're still at it! I really enjoyed the first two episodes! :D
Haha I'm glad! I'm learning as I go so I hope there's some valuable content in there :)
@@nicholomo I don't doubt it for a second! I did have a follow up question! For the switch from your mechanical movement to the smaller movement, how did that affect your original watch designs? The reason I ask is because I'm curious if the design you sketched would still work (readability, negative space, size of the hands, etc.) at that slightly smaller scale.
You could design it however you want as long as the parts don't interfere with each other when you put it together. The smaller movement probably won't affect the design of anything accept for the movement holder. I never really had a solidified design, but yeah you should definitely think about those things.
What’s your Instagram I need your help fam
@@k1.goated should be in the description!
Keen to for another ep!
About prototyping: if 3d printing is too expensive for you and you have a 3d model, you can make it from paper (by using pepakura or special command in most of cad programmes to create drawing, which you can print, cut out and clue). Another way of creating a prototype is cutting it from form. This way is harder, but looks more professional. 3d printing is faster and didn’t require any special skills, but it could cost at least 80 dollars per tiny model and for normal ones you could pay 500 dollars and more. *sorry, my English is terrible :(
3D printing is ironically very slow and expensive if you don't have your own printers. I think you'd be ahead of the game if you make physical prototypes before you get into a design program. Good point!
I agree with you. Paper and foam modes are really fun when you get the hang of it
ok
Hey! Do you know the size of that movement? I also want to build my know watch! also, love the watch series!
I'm glad you like the series! I'm shifting to a different movement for reasons I'll explain in the next video. The dimensions are probably on the Rotate Watches website (reference the movement name at the beginning of this video).
I genuinely love the design of your teeth!
Are you still working on this series? I've found it extremely helpful and hopefully can take on my own project towards the second half of the year
I haven't actually had time to post anything lately but I'll try to continue this one!
I agree. Would love to see the rest of the series. Also, Nicholas, do you have an opinion on whether rotate or DIY watches are better?
@@brettorsay9208 I'm working on the next vid right now! (Probably posting next week or so) Rotate Watches supplies you with a kit with everything you need to ASSEMBLE a watch of their design. Making a watch yourself is much more difficult... I'll touch on this in the next video.
@@nicholomo thanks for the clarification. Looking forward to the videos!

Which software do you use and is it important for product designers to learn software
Software depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what stage you're at in the design process. I've been using Rhino for CAD work, Keyshot for rendering, Photoshop / Lightroom for touch-ups and sketchbook pro on iPad for sketching.. and sometimes pen and paper.
I've been cutting out pieces of paper various sizes of different shapes just so I can get my proportions correctly. I was inspired to do this after seeing the Seiko submariner copy and it just has horrible proportions. Absolutely ballooned
Hello Nicholas, I gess its better to seal the holes at bottom, to prevent dust and debries from getting in. Also share your finished product.
Thanks for the idea! I haven't actually had time to work on it but hopefully I'll get back around to it👍🏻
Good video. If you provide me your email I’ll send you a PDF of a theory on the asthetic principle I came up with. Its a theory I came up with saying that beauty is just an intersection of layers and the document defines the common beauty intersections we see in our lives. Lots of cool pictures. Might blow you away
Your videos are very helpful.
Did you use magnets?
I did not, it was supposed to be more a desk pad than a case. I really like those felt iPad cases that snap via magnets.. I think from Grovemade but I'm not sure
Man Amazing video. Please take a look and review design entrance papers of india eg. Ceed ( common entrance exam for design and Nid- dat for national institute of design.
How is job opportunities for M.DES( product design ) in USA specially after Covid? Is ir worth to spend higher feesto do M.des in product design?
Is M.DES a masters in design? I wouldn't know about job ops for a specific degree that I'm not getting, but I know that many companies in the U.S hire creative remote jobs during Covid. Many companies are doing the in-person masks workplace too. As for the fees, it depends on what kind of job you want and how much money you're willing to spend.
@@nicholomo my daughter wants to master in Design ( product design or industrial design) from USA? So I want to know job opportunities for her in USA.
@@ANIBHO I mean there are a lot of jobs opps in the US for product and industrial design but it depends on what kind of job she wants. Product Design is very general.
@@nicholomo Thanks
Great video. Thanks a lot.
Hope it helped!
I like how clean and functional everything is. Having a clean space really is more conducive to thinking. Great job on being so informative!
Glad you liked it!
