The Code Titanium Alloy tells the time by conveying a feeling of the combination of postmodernism and futurism. It renders a metal looking material, meanwhile, uses the variety of dots and patterns as a metaphor not only to keep the layout organized, but also to be a dominant way for the futuristic style. The inspiration is from the material: titanium alloy. Such material conveys the sense of future as well as the elegance. Besides, as the material of a watch face, it suits both business and casual purpose very well.

- Production Technology
- It started with a random graphic pattern when I was trying to make a modern looking background. After a few attempts, one of the patterns caught my attention, then it became the background pattern of this watch face. Combining with the highlight effect, it shows a very good match of the look of titanium. So I decided to import it into watch face layers. After a few times of choosing the suitable font. The design direction was confirmed.
- Design Challenge
