Do you prefer Solid or Hollow index for enamel dial?
We're working on the Grand Feu Enamel collection.
And we are in the index designing stage, which one would you prefer if you had to choose between these two?
I'd appreciate any input!
And please give us a follow for our tag, thanks! #selten

May I add that although your hour hand is obviously a choice you’ve probably settled on, I would suggest that it’s really a bit too derivative of, offhand, Lyrique and other independent HH names.
You’re making an admirable and tremendous effort with your dial, and that I LOVE. I really, truly think that reconsidering the hand will give you a truly individual dial.
With kindness, respect and hopes for your success!

Thanks for the feedback, I'm a fan of Voutilainen and I really like the hand design from Urban Jurgensen.
We've used similar hands in our first collection Series 00, and I believe it becomes our signature design too, so that's why I've used it on this collection as well.
As you know, a fan here. My only feedback is this is very close to what Bastien Vuilliomene is doing with the base Lundis Bleus enamel dials. I’d love to see you differentiate the indices to give it a more unique design language.
Any lume on the index?

As we want to showcase the beauty of the enamel dial as much as possible, we decided to do a minimal design for the indices, but we will see if there's any way to alternate the indices to differentiate the dial a bit more.
We also developed few other textures for the dial, including hand hammered and hand engraved, CNC Guilloche is under development too.

No lume at the moment.

Fair enough. You’ve answered with the respect I intended. Kudos to WatchCrunch! I’m glad you are open about your influences, that makes so much sense. I’ll keep an eye out for your work! 😃
I love what you are doing, pushing the boundaries in the design, hollow indices 🤯personally not a fan of them, but something different is always special and moving away from a “generic” looking watch is the way to grab attention!
I do like the solid, but you've shown you can handle hollow indices quite well on your 00.04
The dial is excellent. Now, for the indices, may I suggest a combination of the two. This way you still have a similar design DNA, but slightly different implementation. Use hollow design for the 3, 6, 9 and 12 and use solid for the others.
I’m 51/49- but the solid stands vivid.

I'm open to customisation at a later stage!
At this point, I consider myself as a risk averse person😂, I guess I'd prefer to go for a safer design in the early stage to get more exposure first, and later on I would like to develop a more distinctive design.

Agree that this should be a consideration! Would love to see a render of this too

Well... Better than I imagine✨

Right! There you go please check the previous reply🙏
Between the two I would go for the solid. But I have to say the option above is a great choice as well.

Actually, it is does look better than I imaged also. Hope you use it.

Oh I like that
