Hi everyone,

I don't think this has been done before. I'm not completely happy with 
how it turned out.... oh well :/

Everything was modeled and rendered with POV. The watch band is basic 
CSG with additive transforms applied to each segment. A good method for 
this sort of thing. The side of the "watch" itself was a bit tricky. For 
that I had to make my own mesh routine and smooth it over with 
subdivision (thanks to Xiaobin Wu & Jianhua Fan for POV-Ray with 
subdivision).

Anyway, I hope it brings a smile to your face :)

Questions and comments, welcome as usual!

Sam

Looks very good and I like this smart combination.
(reminds me of the good old days of the Awesome Rolex  :-)   )

I like it too. It reminds me of the wrist-sundial I made (physically) quite
a few years ago.

Did it work? Sounds a little more useful than this (on clear days, anyway).

How could it not :-) All you needed is to know where North is and the sun.

was the Gnonom it is so sharp it could have been classed as an offensive
weapon.
Thought! Since it uses the power of the sun you could say it is a nuclear
