Thread: MWC PART 7 - MANIC WRISTWATCH CO-FORMULATION

  1. #2121
    brilliant watch my only thing that seems off to me is the W i know it is to do with margins and distance between centre I would have thought that the W running through main second hand would have been sweeter in my opinion,cracker of a watch

    yes I brought that up at the time but then the name would have been off centre I think it was said think they did a mock up with it moved and it felt more off then to leave with it where it was... plus the main second hand is for the chrono if I remember right so it would hide the name some what where it is position now leads to an easy reading of the name

    London, I am NOT a cockney, though I live nearer to Bow Bells than most "cockneys" do.

    big question for a typography expert really, to kern or not to kern, that is the question.
    the horizontal line of the L would look ridiculous if the W was dead centre, Maybe a different letter I would have done it or a more classical font, IWL . IWL , a discussion for another day, too late for this pretty thing with the slightly imperfect nose.

    the font's did not help it was made slightly large so it made it more of a factor it was the best option to have the IWL on the IWL watch so in nature nothing is perfectly inline is it now so think on the whole with time it ant going to make a jot of difference

    don't you just hate it I bought a couple of cheap but decent looking bracelets for my watches and guess what they are not resize able and let's just say they are give me an inferiority complex as they are just way to big
