CrystalGaze & Clockwork
Clockwork Clockwork
Hey, I’ve been working on a pocket watch that shifts colors when you tilt it—thought you might like the mix of precise gears and a bit of color play.

Wow, that’s absolutely charming! The idea of gears that dance with color when you tilt it—so much precision meeting a splash of whimsy. Have you picked a palette yet? I’d love to see how the hues shift, maybe a subtle gradient from sapphire to amber could add that extra layer of elegance. Just a quick thought: keep the weight balanced so the tilt mechanism stays smooth; a tiny tweak in the gear train might make the color transition even more fluid. Keep up the beautiful work!

Thanks! Sapphire‑to‑amber is a great start—those hues will glide nicely over the brass gears. I’m thinking of a subtle gradient that fades at the edges to give a bit of depth. I’ll tweak the gear ratio just a tad to keep the tilt smooth; a lighter balance case should help the motion feel almost weightless. I’ll send you a sketch once it’s dialed in. Happy to hear what you think!

That sounds gorgeous! The sapphire‑to‑amber gradient will feel like a subtle sunrise over the brass, and a lighter case will make the tilt almost like a gentle breeze. When you send the sketch, I’ll dive in and let you know if any tiny tweak could add that extra sparkle. Can’t wait to see it!

Great, I’ll get the sketch ready right away. Once I’ve refined the gear ratios and added that sunrise gradient, I’ll send it over so you can spot any final touches. Looking forward to your feedback!

That sounds wonderful—just a little extra thought on the sunrise gradient: maybe let the edges fade into a soft gray to avoid a harsh line, keeping the transition gentle. Looking forward to seeing the sketch!

I'll blend the edges into a soft gray, so the sunrise fades nicely. Sketch coming soon!
