Create your Watchface
You can either customize a combination by picking out each trait, or mint a surprise combination for a fixed price of 0.12Ξ. Once a Watchface is minted, nobody else can mint its trait combination.
About
When you buy a piece of art you usually know everything about it — but it doesn't know anything about you. Who are you? When did you buy it? The art has no idea. It sits there, blissfully ignorant of its own provenance.
But what if it wasn't just obvious that you owned something, but undeniable?
Watchfaces are NFTs that understand who owns them. When you buy a Watchface, your wallet address is inscribed around the bezel and the time you bought it is stamped onto the face — engraving your ownership directly into the design. If you resell, your Watchface will automatically evolve to reflect its new owner.
Each NFT is created entirely on-chain– meaning it can change over time and will continue to live as long as the Ethereum network exists.
If manufacturing is confirmed after all NFTs are sold, collectors who hold their NFTs for at least four weeks will be eligible to turn their NFT into a custom-made physical version (forging).
Watchfaces are made to last, but more importantly: they're made for you.
What's inside?
Every Watchface is rendered onchain, completely dynamic, and built with SVG components. Everything is live and upated with current data from the blockchain.
Process
This is each step of how your NFT and potential physical counterpart will be created.
1.Customize
Explore different Watchface combinations and select your favorite traits.
2.Mint
Claim your unique Watchface combination and store it on the Ethereum blockchain.
3.Forge
Bring your your NFT timepiece to the physical world.*
*Physical production is hard and complex, so the exact details can't be guaranteed ahead of time.
That being said, we are planning on making Apple and Android Watch compatible watchfaces which can be unlocked with your NFT.
If manufacturing is confirmed after all NFTs are sold, Watchface NFTs held for at least four consecutive weeks will be eligible.
Brand
Goals and future direction for Watchfaces.World.
Watchfaces.World is an experimental luxury brand that crafts digital goods for the next phase of the internet.
Currently, luxury brands largely do business by producing rare physical goods. While all of them are online, remarkably few (if any) have digitally native luxury items. This project is a step towards creating brands and products that don't just view the internet as a means of increasing distribution, but as a creative medium.
The goal of Watchfaces is to demonstrate how digital luxury goods can be shaped by both communities and the physical world. Instead of handing down the product from an ivory tower, we will involve patrons in all stages of the product’s creative process — serving as an experiment in collaborative digital couture.
