I know you like that watch, but you cannot remake someone else’s work. And you won’t get acceptance from Hamilton or Facer either. Unless you’ve struck a deal where Hamilton allows you to remake THEIR watches in a smartwatch capacity, and you have a contract and inform Facer of it.
There is no amount of change you could make to that face to make it ok to publish without having it look like a completely different watch. You need to change roughly 75% of a design for it to not be considered copyright infringement.
As I said before, I hate to see someone with obvious skills doing knockoffs. Come up with a concept or theme, get out a sketch pad and pencil and get started making your OWN unique work and maybe you’ll find that people like YOUR work as much as you like that Hamilton.
I still have some hope until I get an official word from them
That said, it’s as I said as well, it’s not like I haven’t made any other watch faces, I have a few that are done and published, but at the end of the day I look at them and I just don’t like them lol. Joined to re-create this one, didn’t even think I would make any more even, but I did give it a nice college try to make original ones but they simply don’t stick, not even I can bear to wear them xD despite some of them having taken similar amounts of work to this one
Of course the other way to look at things is that making this face was a great exercise. I can now open the creator and pretty much create anything that comes to mind without the need for so much help, however the problem is I can’t really come up with anything original that I actually like One day maybe. I fell so hard in love with this watch face anything I come up with is in constant battle with it xD and if it’s not better (aka doesn’t make me want to wear it over this one), then it’s just not good enough. It’s a tough spot to be in when you love something so much
All of that said, I think that last update was the final one to this face. Can’t think of anything else I want to see on it that would make sense (and wouldn’t drag my watch’s performance down to a crawl :P) so now just gotta wait. If I can publish it, great! If not, I got exactly what I wanted anyway and, who knows, maybe once I’m not so focused on this, a new one may pop into my head
One day maybe. I fell so hard in love with this watch face anything I come up with is in constant battle with it xD and if it’s not better (aka doesn’t make me want to wear it over this one), then it’s just not good enough. It’s a tough spot to be in when you love something so much
