What's with all the watches?

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 12, 2008, 8:28 PM
I'm sure regular "watchers" are wondering what's up with the recent fascination with watches. I've always been a bit of a watch fan, and recently started following the developments in haute horology. It's pretty fascinating how much development and exotic materials go into some of these high end watches. It's also mind boggling how much some of these timepieces cost. There are many, many watches that are hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost! Amazing. Crazy, some would say.

By modeling them in 3D, it gives me a way to "own" and get to know watches I'll probably never have the ability to own, and perhaps never even see "in the flesh".

Modeling them is fast, fun and can be quite challenging and educational. It allows me to create a potential market for visualization clients. Chances are I'll never get a call from Ferrari to do 3D vis. work, but some of these watch firms are small operations and they're not going to have an in house 3D guy, so you just never know.

I've got a few cars in the pipeline too, but as a break between real-life, work and freelance jobs, these watches are a really fun diversion.

Probably - all the gallery groupings seem borked too on all the galleries I visit. DevArt seems to be having issues.
