My final ever post here on Facer.
This is my all time favourite Facer Face, designed by me with basic details, a nice Lume look to it, my own Gizmo Made brand on it, and it looks pretty smart…in my opinion.
As a creator myself, I’m always drawn to faces with a strong design idea. I really like when classic inspiration, retro LCD details, old electronics, or instrument style layouts are translated into something modern, fresh and clever.
For me, the best faces are clear and useful first, but they also need atmosphere. Good readability, smart information, subtle light, depth, and a bit of nostalgia can make a design feel special.
That mix of function, creativity, and character is what I enjoy most.
The watch faces that cost me the most time and brain work, is my 7-segment series. The math was not that simple and I had to let it rest now and again. It took me a month to build (can be built mechanically), and it is really my all time favorite:
Second in line would have to be my triaxial series. Not any less complicated!
