Functional mechanical watch

[Firefly]

I made a model of a watch, including its movement. It's my own design, though I took a lot of ideas for the case and dials from IWC watches.

Render with casing removed:

Movement, top view:

Movement from the bottom:

Just the moving bits of the movement:

Watch movement animation
The animation isn't keyframed, i.e. the gear train is actually functional and is driven by the main wheel. Each cog and pinion does something and has the correct amount of teeth, the ratios of their radii are accurate etc. It's my own design - by no means a particularly efficient one, but it is a functional movement (or rather a simulation thereof). I may post some more videos of it on my Youtube channel later on.

What do you think?

Wow that's really impressive dude. I'm a huge fan of your artwork too, have it stored on my computer. Made any new pictures recently?

[вαℓυ]

My god, you're a true inspiration man. These are just amazing. I'm really glad we have such talented people in this community.

Do you have any W.I.P shots?

I don't, but I could do some untextured/wireframe renders if you'd like to have a closer look at the mesh.

do u do this just for fun?

Yeah, I do all my artwork for fun. Also, I've always wanted to know how mechanical watches and clocks work, and I figured the best way to learn would be to make one myself.

Made any new pictures recently?

Nothing worth showing, apart from this watch. I've been pretty busy with final exams and such recently. I just got accepted into university today though, so now I have nothing but free time for a few months.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Pretty much what everyone said so far about your work summed up my opinion.

And I may sound like a total idiot, but I never thought the wheel in the far left could be rotating so fast. lol

Some wireframe shots would be nice

Cant tell the difference between this and the original one, as a matter of fact:this one looks even better.
great job.
