My Watch Production Dream

So I have this vision of someday making fit for purpose watches for people in industry, just sitting down with real heroes and creating something with them that truly makes them happy.  This was a project of mine for a good year, in spite of being broke and occupied with college... and vastly underestimating the difficulty.  I figured it would be cool to share some of the renderings I made during that time, between now and the day I finally find the resources to give it a go!  I've learned a lot since these were made, but I still look back at them fondly.  Fun question: If you had a watch purpose built for your job/life, what would it be?
