In between big things going on in the personal sphere the watch has been biding its time in breadboard form (photos to come soon). To keep the creative juices following I feel down the rabbit hole of software packages that I've read many makers deem essential. From the friendly Fritizing to the more comprehensive KiCad, it's been a interesting few weeks seeing how different packages handle the same tasks.

While plotting many revisions of the watch I started to visualise how I could present the completed item as a wearable timepiece. This lead to yet another software package, the oft mentioned Inkscape that is common amongst vector graphic's aficionados. I had to admit, I felt a twinge of familiarity as I faced it's illustrator (circa CS6) looking interface. The updated project photo is a quick mock-up of how I want the watch to appear.

I am still keen on having the components on display I feel that a sandwich of transparent acrylic will be the way to go depending on how the battery situation plays out.
