apparently... I won!

well, apart from the question about the "Abstract concept" that is very generic itself and for what any answer could be right or wrong it seems I won!

well, let's try to have a go to the Contest:
Date: Jan 03, 2010,14:23 PM - (view entire thread)
1. The 3 unique or unusual design elements:

- unusual hour indices on main register
- unusual indicator for seconds sub-register (no numbers, radial pattern, 15 sec arch)
- unusual use of the colours

2. Design inspirations:

-F1 racing, as per minutes sub-register indicator

3. Name:

this is hard. Let me have a guess and a broader pick:
- ROO L.E. Scuderia Ferrari
- ROO L.E. Grand Prix (F1 is a trademark...)

4. Case and bezel:
The Bonus Points is an hint to my answer...
- Case Platinum, Bezel Ceramic
- Case Rose Gold, Bezel Ceramic
- Case Forged Carbon, Bezel Ceramic
NB even if I preferTitanium it seems AP likes more the Forged Carbon... WHY?

5. Abstract design concepts:

- "fast" design (instead of readable numbers) second sub-register
Bonus: it could be (or would be) use of colours as reminiscence of Art...

PS hopefully I'm wrong: it seems too colourful!

3 and 4 were what kept your entry from winning. 3. obviously, only one answer is correct, and only one per entry is allowed. (sorry, but I'm sure you understand - someone could, in one entry, list 5 or 10 or 100 guesses for the name...) 4. the bezel answe...
