This watch is unique, in the sense that I often do not buy a case specifically for a dial. This was an exception. I made this dial before I bought its future case, not knowing if I'd ever find something that matched its unique style.
The dial is a hand sanded piece of Fordite. Fordite, also known as "Detroit agate," is a captivating material originating from layers of cured paint overspray within automotive plants. Its allure rests in the distinct, multicolored swirls and patterns, narrating the story of mid-20th century automotive craftsmanship. Each piece of Fordite is a unique work of art, celebrating the intersection of art and industry, making it a sought-after gemstone-like material.
