I have been designing and crafting Japanese-inspired watch straps for luxury brands such as Panerai, Rolex, and Grand Seiko, iconic fashion pieces such as G-Shock, as well as many well-designed and high-quality micro brands across the world. The only smartwatch I have worked on, however, is Apple Watch, so I thought it would be interesting to design for other smartwatches. I have been browsing both traditional watches and smartwatches on Instagram to get design inspiration and meet like-minded people and brands for some interesting collaborations. That was where I came across Mobvoi-TicWatch, one of the most popular smartwatch brands in the market.
