Watch design and sample making is a crucial part of the watch manufacturing process.
1. Design concept determination
The first step in the design of a watch is to determine the design concept. Designers will determine the overall style and characteristics of the watch according to market demand, brand positioning and user preferences. At this stage, designers need to deeply understand the preferences and needs of the target audience to ensure that the design meets the needs of the market.
2. Preliminary design sketch
Once the design concept is determined, the designer begins to draw preliminary design sketches. A sketch can be a hand-drawn two-dimensional drawing or a three-dimensional model made using computer-aided design software. At this stage, designers will try different design schemes, including dial shape, case design, crown style, etc., to find the best design scheme.
3. 3D modeling and rendering
Once the preliminary design is determined, the designer uses computer-aided design software for 3D modeling and rendering. Through 3D modeling, designers can transform design sketches into specific 3D models and fine-tune the details. Rendering can simulate the real effect of the watch in different lighting conditions, helping designers to more intuitively understand the effect of the design.
4. Sample making
After the design is finalized, making samples is an essential step. The production of samples requires mold making, material selection, processing and assembly according to the design drawings. The produced samples need to meet the requirements of the design drawings, and pass strict quality inspection to ensure that its quality and performance meet the requirements. If adjustments need to be made, the designer will modify the sample according to the actual condition and re-make the sample until the design requirements are met.
5. Sample display and evaluation
The completed samples will be displayed and evaluated. The designer and the relevant team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the sample, including design, functional performance, material quality and other aspects. Based on the evaluation results, further adjustments and improvements can be made to the sample to ensure the quality and user experience of the final product.
Summary
Watch design and sample making are the key links in the watch manufacturing process. Through scientific and reasonable design and precision sample production, it can ensure that the appearance design and performance of the watch reach the best state, meet the needs of users, and enhance the competitiveness of the product.
