Thanks for sharing. :)
The image is AI but it does indeed look exactly like this. The dial is in production right now, its not an easy one to do but once its finished ill share it. Radial brushing+gradient+etching.
Even though I did suggest I would create a small first series, because these are incredibly expensive to do via an OEM, around 400 USD is base production cost without tariffs, VAT, engraving on case, and shipping, the minimum cost on a small batch would be probably around 750-1000 HBD. Thats me making 100-200 HBD per watch for all my trouble. hehe.
Theres also a plan to use Hive as an authenticity verification layer through a challenge response encrypted NFC chip which adds cost but also demonstrates a use case for Hive.
In all honesty, I probably need the Hive price being much higher to do this. So it might be that the only 1 remains on my hand. Talk about uniqueness. 😋
If I can find at least 50 buyers its doable, but the question is if theres 50 people on Hive with that amount to spend. Currently, doubtful. Maybe im wrong.
I like the design and also that it will be a quality watch with a Swiss movement, but that comes also with quite a huge price tag as expected for a custom watch which is probably quite steep for many Hivers.
yep
