Volumenzeit Watches with 3D dials

[Volumenzeit]

Hello all!

My name is Dmitriy, I am living in Munich, Germany, and since near 6 years was developing a technology to produce volumetric dials.
Finally I made it. Now it is complicated technology allowing me to make these nice handmade 3D dials accuracy suitable with wrist watches.
I would like to show you what I have and will be very interesting to hear your opinion, do you like it or not, why, what could be improved?

I have made currently a watches with following specs:
Swiss Parts Ronda Movement
316L Stainless Steel Case
5ATM Water Resistance
Sapphire Crystal Glass

4 Dial Designs, 4 Dial Colors with color shifting effects
3 Case colors
15 Strap options
Personal Engraving Feature

Pictures below are based on 2 years old prototypes when now I am waiting for a new watches with several quality improvements.
Later on will make a new ones and can include your feedbacks.

What do you think about it? Like it? Could you imagine yourself wearing such watch?

[Bradystraps]

This could get good.

No.

Honestly?

Put a quartz movement in it. Sell it via women's fashion outlets. You'll make loads of cash.

But its probably a million miles from the kind of watches most people here go for. (IMO)

Thanks. Hope for the best

[Volumenzeit]

No.

I realize it is not possible to create one product for all. But thanks for your time for the feedback.

But it's already having a quartz movement Ronda.
By the statistics it is more popular for Male audience. But I am going to try all options to share

But its probably a million miles from the kind of watches most people here godforsaken (IMO)

Could be. But still interesting what people are thinking about this approach.

You have a good attitude, which will surely help.

I believe we have one person on this forum who may like such a watch, but he’s abnormally nice and likes everything.

This isn’t your audience.

Ah yes, I missed that about the movement...

I just think this is the wrong forum to really get guidance on such a watch.

Thanks! Doing my best

Sounds so interesting - abnormally nice. Usually it is not a bad point

This isn’t your audience.

People are having different tastes and interests, who knows... And to hear a feedback from other side of the road it is also interesting and useful

Usually, but Hoppy is extra into the "abnormal".

Wrong demographic here but as mentioned above quartz movement and women’s watches you’ll make a fortune.

I traded the van for a Nissan Leaf. Not as much room, but it’s all about being green.

Wearing a watch that says "love" in 50 different languages while enticing people into your van for nefarious purposes has a certain "serial killer chic" ring to it.

Nefarious? Your mom came along willingly!

Yup, I think it is I who might be the one who likes these Dmitriy.

Just really want to welcome you to DWC, and thanks just for joining up.

Honestly these watches seem great to me because you are doing something
different. Yet something that may also remind a lot of us of those eye-catching
dials companies did back in the 70's, and maybe even 60's. But the difference
is that your watches actually have 3D dials, where the watches years back had
the special effect only.

So it's very cool to see you updating, as well as innovating the idea.

The only thing I would add, or suggest, is possibly to add dive watches,
or other styles like aviation/pilots into the mix. ..Imagine an honest to
goodness 3D wave pattern on a diver? Or cool pattern on a pilot's watch?
I think a lot of people would enjoy that.

In any case, thanks once again for joining up, and showing these to us !

[hoppyjr]

Get back in my van Tom!

You are helping me to move forward.

I exactly wanted to make something different from 1000 existing brands with around the same design.
But I am receiving many suggestions to play around dive or pitol designs. I definitely have to think about it.
The problem is that I cannot do all what I want, each single design takes many months of work and a lot of money. I need to start at some point to be able to continue making more options. But as I said, definitely will think about dive or aviation, I personally like aviation style. Maybe one of the next design =)

[amckiwi]

I like to be able to tell the time at a glance so hour markers are a big thing for me
It also looks to trendy / feminine for me

I don't know. If he can figure out how to layer 3D penis shapes on a dial, he'll probably sell out here.

[Henryj]

I’m curious where else he might have posted. As was already said, we’re not the target demographic. I woulda thunk the words “Dive Watch” in our name was a clue.
