A vintage computer on your wrist?!
Vintage 9-Track Computer
When I was small, sci-fi shows and movies I saw sometimes had those cabinet-sized computers and gigantic tapes.
When looking at the Vinyl Record Watches I designed, that memory came into my mind. And so I took an inspiration from this old computer IBM System/360's 9-track tape, which is a magnetic-tape data storage format.
I was born in 1985, so I never saw that kind of big computer systems in my real life. So that memory always stayed in me as something that gives me classic sci-fi vibes.
And I wanted to bring that into reality. A vintage computer on your wrist, how sci-fi-cool is that!
The Design
What Time is it?
Hour: The disk you can see at the center is the Hour Disk*, with a dark element being the hour indicator. The hour disk you of the prototype you will get will be replaced with a silver colored electroplated disk, with a longer matte line, like this image:
Minute: The off-white element you can see on the outer edge of the dial. When the second disk rotates, you can also see the "A" logo pointing the minute direction.
Second: The big off-white disk with three holes, that looks like a tape casing structure.
The strap would be like this:

1-Year Manufacturing Defects Warranty
I have been wearing one of the functioning prototypes for almost 6 months. So far, it's functioned with no problems, and I am confident that it would for at least the next 6 months.
The reason I made sure that it's specifically 1-Year warranty for "Manufacturing Defects" is that I believe that most of the people who have never utilized the warranty of a product don't realize that the warranty only covers Manufacturing Defects. Some watch brands offer a longer warranty, such as 5 years or 10 years—but by then, how would you know that your broken watch suffered a manufacturing defect, or normal wear-and-tear? And would you ever be able to convince the brand's customer service that it was indeed a manufacturing defect?
Their warranty doesn't cover wear-and-tear, or user error, and neither does this warranty. But I do think it is important to clarify that it is a warrant for manufacturing defects, instead of just issuing that it is a vaguely worded "warranty" which sounds like something that might cover something more than manufacturing defects. And 1 year is enough time to warrant manufacturing defects.
