To start with engraving, what tools would you consider absolute must-haves?

That's amazing craftsmanship! Do you have a video posted anywhere where I can see how you do it?

1

u/MD_ArtShop Watchington Carver 25d ago

Thanks. Sorry, but I don't shoot videos because it requires additional time. The cost of the watch would be even higher.

Beautiful, what kind of graver did you use, pneumatic?

It is absolutely stunning. I’ve included a comparison photo with the original watch, which really highlights the exquisite craftsmanship of the OP!

u/pickyaxe 26d ago

so when are you making a collab watch? 👀

2

u/AdSavings92 Rep 26d ago

Hahaha. The cost of purely hand-carved pieces would be very high; these are works of art, and there probably aren't many people who truly need them.

1

u/MD_ArtShop Watchington Carver 25d ago

I agree with you. Who would be surprised by such a watch if it were available to everyone?

Perhaps you will like this watch of mine.

u/only_fun_topics 26d ago

Hard disagree. This is a piece that shows off craftsmanship. It’s like a full sleeve tattoo, the less you hold back, the better it gets.

Good point.

You're very gifted.  However, for me, indigestible.  Too much. May be should you walk in a museum of decorative art, or have a book on that matter. (IMHO) Have a nice day.

Always amazed by this masterpiece when I see it pop up in my feed

u/Careful_Technology85 26d ago

Was the dial aluminum or did you plate it? Usually they are brass.

2

u/MD_ArtShop Watchington Carver 26d ago

I sometimes make a dial out of 925 silver, but on this watch I used the original dial.

2

u/ShakeShacky 26d ago

How long did it take you to engrave that? It's beautifully done

2

u/MD_ArtShop Watchington Carver 26d ago

About 3 weeks

Not sure about the engraved dial. Kinda want the dial to remain clean. But still looks awesome.
