PCB Dial Mod for Mechanical Watch

Some time ago when I looked for design inspiration for the binary wrist watch I did a lot of research and delved deep into the parts of internet home to watch enthusiasts. I came out mostly unharmed, but have now become fairly interested in watches as a hobby.

In this project I will show you how I dissasembled an automatic mechanical watch and made a few daring modifications including a completely new dial. This truly was a project combining a lot of different disciplines as I started off with traditional watch making, which I combined with more cutting edge 3D printing, and PCB design, there's even some good old sewing thrown into the mix.

Read on to see how I took a classic mechanical watch and gave it a completely new dial made from a PCB!
