Vinyl Record Automatic Watch Classic
Do you like music? Do you like vinyl records? ARE YOU FEELING GROOVY!? If your answer is yes to any of these (or even none of these), this might be a perfect watch for you! Inspired by legendary (Panasonic) Technics SL-1200 turntable, powered by Miyota 9039 Premium automatic movement, this wrist watch is not really a piece to tell you the time (although it can do that well). Instead, it tells people around you what kind of human you are, a sophisticated music lover! How it Came to This Since the birth of the "Chillmatic" Vinyl Record Dial (now available on ModModeWatches), this was the plan, to make a full watch with it. Then I designed the R-1 Mod Case "in secret", and presented it as just a rectangular, ordinally watch case for modders. "In secret", as in, with no intention to reveal this as the case designed for the Vinyl Record Player Automatic Watch. Because it seems there weren’t enough rectangular cases in the watch modding scene. And it’s actually easy to add/remove the chapter ring, because of the sandwich case construction. Also I made these Vinyl Record Hands. This design, in a way a bit confusing when it comes to checking time, was a result of seeing seemingly infinite numbers of “vinyl record / vinyl record player -inspired wristwatch” designs. Most of the existing products were made cheaply, not to withstand time, or, builds (modified watches) made using the “Chillmatic” Vinyl Record Dials :) And most of these watches just used normal watch hands, instead of utilizing the vinyl record / record player elements. So on above picture, it's showing about 12:37. Hour: The record label with the "A" logo is the hour hand-disk. Indicating the hour with the tip of the "A". (In reality the tip of “A” should be leaning slightly towards right though.) Minute: The "arm" (tonearm) of the vinyl record player is the minute hand. Yes it's not straight, it's not pointing the minute marker straight, but so you can interpret it in your own way (ie. the center of the head is pointing the minute, or the outermost edge of the head is pointing the minute. Second: The disc in the center is the center hand-disc. You can interpret in various ways, ie. when the texts on the disc is level is the 0 seconds. The Classic (a.k.a. RBS: Red-Black-Silver) The RBS (Red hands, Black dial, Silver case) is the most basic, standard, versatile, iconic, epic!
