Dial Art
Does anyone have recommendations on who you would go to if you were to have a dial hand painted by an artist? Similar to IFL watches like this one. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4-XeNqr9oH/?igsh=cW45bjE4YW93djZ6

The Dial Artist. He did all the IFL stuff for awhile. Not sure he’s still with them

What I would recommend is keep original dial and buy an aftermarket one. Take it to any local or contracted artist that you like and just brain storm with them. Most artist appreciate the love of their art for one and the fact that it's going in a watch to be seen all the time is something they would appreciate. I think they would be more than willing to work with you. I used to paint but mostly do pencil drawings now but this idea has crossed my mind more than once to start doing custom hand painted dials. Hit up some local art shows see what peaks your interest and strike up a conversation with the artist and yall create a one of a kind piece that is custom to you.
Tempted to have a go myself TBH. Worked as a tattoo artist in a previous job, and I've sold a few paintings I've done.
Not considered it before, but I've got a broken white dial CW I might have a go on..
Thank you for the idea. 👍🏻
