Workshop notes

Mechanical Bitcoin movement

Build logs, machining experiments, watchmaking notes, and lessons from trying to make a mechanical watch shaped by Bitcoin.

This is the main record of the project: what worked, what failed, what changed, and what I learned along the way.

TLDRThe blog post seems to focus on a "paper test," but it's quite sparse on details. If you're interested, it might be worth checking the link for more context or to see the video, which seems to be the main content. 🤔 If paper tests and Bitcoin sound intriguing, it could be worth a quick click.

TLDRYou're diving deeper into watch design with Adobe Illustrator, even if the initial sketches aren't perfect. You're seeing potential in the proportions and envisioning a cool combo of a see-through dial, leather strap, and unique hands. It's a reminder that creativity often starts rough but can lead to something great. 🎨

The adventure begins in a sketching software Im confortable with, Adobe Illustrator.

As I know nothing about manufacturing, I'll take it easier on myself and do a watch without any complications

Here are some initial sketches:
