Dr. Who Pocket Watch

Original watch:

Here are test pieces of the engravings for the top badge:

Any input?

Looks like the larger ring might actually be two rings.

 

[juno]

I do believe you are right! Thankfully, these tests were the wrong size, so I've not wasted too much time!

 

[gnrlotto]

I think the smaller circle which crosses through it is two circles, too.

 

[BlindSquirrel]

Holy Hell, Juno! That looks great!!

Have you sourced a pocket watch for this yet? Are there plans for a run of these?

It might be cool to put a frosted lens inside with a bunch of bright LED's so when it opens, you can have your DNA re-arranged by the bathing light! :eek

More than likely, you've thought of this already!

 

[juno]

I haven't even begun to work on the internals. :confused

I will probably leave the inside unlit -- as I want them to be working pocket watches. All the ones that use the indiglo system have a not-so-pretty design.

Any input? Here's some input. That is BEAUTIFUL! I hope you plan on making a resin piece that can be put on top of a watch. I would love to make a watch with one of those beauties.

Splendid job! Or in the words of my personal favorite Doctor, FANTASTIC!

Man that is one fantastic looking piece. I'd love to own one.

I've never even watched the current Dr. Who, but I think that looks absolutely great!

 

[greatwazoo42]

Yeah, they did a fantastic job of it...the first time the Doctor showed up with a pocket watch (considering most of the incarnations wore an unobtrusive wrist watch) it looked like this:

I build my own "inspired by" version usng the same Casio Dual Time II wrist watch:

As much as I love my version the new one blows it out of the water and I want one...NOW!!! :love

I'm wondering if they fabricated the prop totally from scratch or did like I did and found a compatible one (mine is a "silver dollar commemorative" I converted). The seam around the etched face plate and a few other tells lead me to believe they modded an existing item.

This is awesome, looks very good so far

 

[juno]

I love your watch greatwazoo42. Did you machine the Gallifreyan badge?

 

[shuktuki]

wow thats stunning work
i was tempted to do a static version
of the watch closed
but i might buy a cheapish watch and sculpt over it

I love your watch greatwazoo42. Did you machine the Gallifreyan badge?

Nope, Curtis AKA Megatron, here on the RPF did it for me. He may still have the mold to do them if you ask him real nicely.

Beautiful, Juno!

Very nice work Juno. I am constantly amazed by the work you turn out from that little machine of yours. Keep it up.

Remind anybody else of an old TARDIS key?

Actually, it was originally posted on the Doctor Who BBC site under the production photograph section. They post a lot of decent prop info there.

It's a cool photo, but unfortunately not related too much to the final prop. 8cm. . . HA!
