Many clock entrepreneurs in the beginning of establishment of the brand, will spend most time in watch plane on the vision, we used to in front of a computer screen, looking at rendering of exquisite of 3 d rendering, fantasy it shiny appearance in the counter. However, watch design is not merely a visual art; it is a battle of aesthetic vision and precise mechanical engineering in micrometer-sized spaces.

As deep in the field of high precision tabulation FOKSY factory, want to let your watch design perfect landing, brands must learn in the design phase is introduced to production thinking.

Many independent designers, in pursuit of the ultimate avant-garde visual effect, like to design extremely flat and streamlined unconventional watch cases. However, they often overlook that the waterproof performance of the watch is highly dependent on the uniform force distribution of the silicone waterproof ring.

1. The devil's game of details: The deep integration of tolerance control and literal aesthetics

Watch design sense, often hidden in the watchband and ear joint shaking amplitude, hidden in the rotating coil that tight clear damping sense. If the tolerance band is not calculated properly, the master in the sample stage can still use a file to make manual fine-tuning; But on the assembly line of thousands of large products, a small error can cause the pins to skew or even break, which is the hidden reason why the samples are perfect and the large products are overturned.

The length and proportion of the pointer is another minefield that is easy to be ignored by new design brands. On the plane drawings, designers often like to draw the hour hand, minute hand and second hand very long, straight to the edge of the literal track circle, but in the actual assembly, the thickness of the watch is determined by the table mirror, the needle pendulum space, the thickness of the movement and the thickness of the bottom cover.

When the hands rotate, there must be a micrometer-level safety gap between each other. If the minute hand is too long and literally with a three-dimensional arc or nail, the pointer is prone to small scratches or physical obstacles when running, resulting in the watch in the middle of the stop for no reason. Excellent watch design, must be based on mature movement parameters derived from the reverse. By placing the movement in front and extending around the fixed ring and the standard needle axis, the design can have a solid framework.

2. The soul of visual implementation: Core standards for color management and surface electroplating

The simple sense of color and texture, is the soul of the watch design, but in the real tabulation process, how to keep each batch colours when big goods production and is a deep knowledge. The color palette of a watch, or Dial, is extremely sensitive. The time of plating, the amount of paint applied, and even the humidity of the day can affect the final color.

3. From the laboratory to the assembly line: How to use pre-production samples to avoid production risks

A good supply chain should not only know how to perfectly restore the design, but also know how to help the brand to reduce costs in the design phase, so that the product is more lethal in the market. If you have relatively limited start-up capital, it is not necessary to start from scratch and re-mold every shell component.

The brand side can flexibly borrow power and apply to FOKSY for the use of the factory's existing classic watch case model that has been verified in the large goods market. You can put all your original inspiration and budget into the creative background of the dial, the personalized pointer contrast, and the unique strap material splicing. As well as the exclusive laser engraving of the bottom cover, it saves you tens of thousands of yuan of mold opening costs, and shortens the delivery time of large goods by nearly half.

4. Start your watchmaking journey: Let inspiration transform in professional quality control

Watchmaking is a time art, and what makes the art come to life is rigorous industrial standards and deep supply chain collaboration. The best watch design is always the product of the collision between the inspiration of the designer and the ingenuity of the factory engineer. In FOKSY's view, we are not only making watches for you, but also the guardian and co-creator of your design blueprint.
