Long story short, sometime ago I went back to 3D design and end up with this:
After this I’ve 3D printed, took some measurements, fix the design and print again….

Next step was let’s put some metal here, and so took advantage of 3D printing but in steel.

So for this year I need to finish the case and assemble a watch. Still not sure about the dial and hands. The movement will be Hamilton 917 but the case can also accommodate a 6497/8.

Next steps case back.

Thanks

I have bottomless admiration for people who take on projects like this. Great work so far can’t wait to see the next steps unfold!

Excellent project and outstanding work so far!
What an amazing time we live in where an individual can prototype and create a single watch case.

subscribed, very nice, looks bronze a bit
how long does it take to produce a case?

If you are asking about 3D printing in steel, I don’t know how long it takes. Just know that from the order to shipping is around 15 days.

And yes, it’s as bronze + silver finishing, good catch

Very impressive! Good luck with the project. Let me know if you need help with a bronze buckle at some point
