Interesting, and clearly unusual designs...
Nicolas –
My opinion is that while you have succeeded in breaking out of conventional watch design aesthetics, I question whether there would be much of a market for such designs. I say that for the simple reason that people tend to buy watches either strictly for function, for a combination of function and design, or purely as an accessory. In the first case, consumers seek straightforward, practical design, and there is no need or desire on the part of the consumer to spend (meaningful) extra money for design. In the second and third cases, most consumers are, of course, cognizant of how a watch design reflects on them. Whether the look is sporty, elegant, classical, vintage, etc., most consumers either consciously or subconsciously want their watches to project something. And while your watch designs are certainly a departure from the norm, which would, in and of itself, say something about the wearer, I am a bit skeptical that there would other than a rather small market for them.
I did follow the link, and read your answers to related questions, but remain unconvinced that there might be other than a small, niche market for them. Having said that, I am a collector of vintage watches, and am therefore probably a poor predictor of future watch trends!
In any case, good luck with your efforts, and keep us posted.

Tony C.
