A Timeless Statement: The 40mm Dress Build with MOP Dial
When it comes to crafting bespoke timepieces, there is something uniquely fulfilling about bringing a client’s vision to life. Our latest build, a 40mm dress watch, exemplifies the perfect blend of elegance, craftsmanship, and personalization.
The client approached us with a clear idea in mind: a classic yet modern dress watch that could be worn for formal occasions and still carry a personal touch. The key highlights were:
A refined 40mm case size to suit a wide range of wrist sizes.
A Jubilee bracelet for a sophisticated and vintage aesthetic.
A custom Mother of Pearl (MOP) dial featuring 3, 6, and 9 hour markers for a balanced design.
The addition of the client’s initials on the dial as a signature detail.
To bring this vision to life, we meticulously selected every component, ensuring they met the highest standards of quality and aesthetics:
The 40mm case strikes the perfect balance between understated elegance and a modern silhouette. Its polished surfaces enhance the dressy character of the watch, while the Jubilee bracelet’s fluid design and brushed-polished finish elevate the overall look.
The star of this build is undoubtedly the custom Mother of Pearl dial. Known for its iridescent beauty, MOP offers a mesmerizing play of colors under different lighting conditions. To maintain a minimalist yet striking look, we opted for applied 3, 6, and 9 markers, giving the dial a harmonious symmetry.
Adding a personal touch to the dial, we incorporated the client’s initials subtly yet prominently. Positioned just below the 12 o’clock marker, the initials were printed with precision to ensure alignment and clarity. This detail transforms the watch into a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
The completed timepiece is a masterpiece of understated luxury. The Jubilee bracelet flows seamlessly into the 40mm case, while the Mother of Pearl dial commands attention with its radiant beauty. The client’s initials add a touch of exclusivity, making this watch not just a functional accessory but a cherished heirloom.
At Finemods, we believe that every watch tells a story, and this build exemplifies our commitment to crafting timepieces that resonate with our clients on a personal level. Whether it’s through a custom dial, a unique case design, or a personalized engraving, we strive to create watches that go beyond telling time—they capture moments and memories.
