I spent 3 months making a mechanical Apple Watch
So for the last 3 months of weekends, I have been building this 100% mechanical apple watch from an e-waste apple watch.
Why? Well it all started around December when I was shopping for a regular Apple Watch and I realised that I would be spending a couple hundred dollars minimum, for features I did not really need, probably would not use, in a package that would be useless in 5 years. At some point, this idea popped into my head and I found it so funny. I just new I had to make it.
For those interested, I am using a stainless steel, series 1 Apple Watch and a Seiko NH38 watch movement. The rotor is cut/engraved with a 20W fiber laser. The dial is black zirconium.
I just posted a build video on youtube and a written guide on Instructables for those curious to see how it was done.
