The most room. At this scale the watch face actually reads — hands and all. Lives under a sleeve, shows up in a tee.

One mark.
Three placements.
The design is done — 156 in a clean, even line, a mechanical watch hidden in the six. The number counts; the watch is the handmade thing I carry against a life of automation. What’s left is the hard part — deciding where it lives.

The mark / 001
What’s hidden in the line
It reads as a number at a glance. Sit with it and a second image surfaces — the same trick the SHAUGHV mark plays with its glasses and mustache. Two things I carry, drawn as one. Move through the layers.
Hover or tap a layer / the mark responds
Two handmade things on the arm of someone who automates for a living — a number that counts, and a movement wound by hand. Drawn as one clean, even line, because that felt like the only honest way to carry them.

Private by default — only shows in shorts. The easiest sit of the three. Mid-size keeps the line clean, but the watch detail softens at a glance.

Always in view — I'd see it every day, and so would everyone else. Smallest canvas, so the design simplifies to its bones. Sits right where my watch already is. Time, twice.
