Karlskrona Hemlig Prototype Pictures - REVISED and updated
Finally, some quick and (very) dirty pics of the Hemlig Prototype. Certainly not there yet but, headed in the right direction.
Making a change to the hand set (white border, not steel and a bit larger), ghost logo will be matte finish, crown will be more recessed. A few more refinements I'm sure along the way.
As always, input, feedback, criticism of any type etc. is welcomes and appreciated.
Regards,
Todd

It's heading in the right direction, and you have the right changes planned. Do what you can to make it shorter, so it doesn't stand awkwardly tall.
Re: Karlskrona Hemlig Prototype Pictures - First look
Looks great and agree with the changes - especially shortening the crown
Good stuff!

Agreed. I think you have identified the key points.

Agree with the changes, specially the hands. Can you take a side profile photo to gauge the thickness and caseback (how much it protrudes). Thanks!

Looks really good. Agree that the logo absolutely has to be matte.

Have you tried it with a white date wheel? I think it would help even out the dial.
I think the watch looks nice though.
Also, how about red date numbers?

Considered red date wheel numbers a la Sinn. I wanted to keep the look stealth and simple. Definitely will be black wheel though. White stands out too much for my liking and accentuates the date too much.

A few side profile shots. 12.5mm thick. Drilled lugs will be present on final production pieces.

Re: Karlskrona Hemlig Prototype Pictures - First look
maybe a white (lumed) outline on the date box? help balance the 12 marker?
otherwise, should be really nice with your intended changes!

Thank you for the outlined date window idea! I’m looking at a render with it and will post soon for feedback.

Nodus has a lume frame on the date window of the Retrospect and it’s really cool

Re: Karlskrona Hemlig Prototype Pictures - First look
Yowza Todd, love it ! Seriously, the design by itself is just the best,
and then you can already see the finish, and everything is exceptional. ..Even
the deep black dial seems to catch every ounce of light.
Oh, and that terrific detailed crown makes you want to turn the watch side
ways to get a look at it all the time too !
Looks fantastic already sir. So can just imagine the finished watch. THX !!!
