Abstract
This project started in space and spacial jetlag, shifted towards
SAD and the arctic till it landed to become a unisex watch for small
to medium sized wrists. All in all, the amount of work done in the
previous briefs have influenced the final result. The final result being
an automatic retro-looking watch offered in five different colours as a
way to cateer to a multitude of personalities which the term “unisex”
includes of.

This project has been consisting of a constant interactive stage
of backward and forward confirmation. With a constant ongoing

This project has been consisting of a constant interactive stage
of backward and forward confirmation. With a constant ongoing
evaluation from digital sketching, CAD-model to physical model and
repeat. Fitment has been tested with real parts, the actual automatic
movement, watch crystal, watch stem and polymer spacer ring. This
has optimized the tightly fitted structure that a watch needs to have to
be able to be as small as it has conventionally become.

By researching into different watches, gender-targeted design and
unisex options, I have concluded a gap in the market which the
design may fit into. Also, by basing CMF and overall appearance with
consitive trends in casual unisex fashion aswell as design catering to
young adults I have been able to direct the design to fit my target
group of young adults aged 15 to 25 years who, through research, I
have concluded to possess the most interest and intent of buying a
watch in the future. (Less)
