Hello and welcome to another issue of the Designer's Notebook.
Recently, we have been working on some strong new additions to our current collection of Geckota watches. The first one I wanted to introduce today is our new G-01.

With inspiration from the Universal Geneve Polerouter, designed by Gerald Genta, we have added a striking gold ring. Paired with new hour markers, and a sunburst finish on the dial, we have created an exciting new model, which keeps the charm of the original.

Below I've included some images which show behind the scenes of creating this design in a 3D space.

Some readers may recognise this design from a few posts which have been made on our Instagram and in our Facebook group. Social media interaction has become a big part of my design process. With photorealistic renders of new designs it's a lot easier to gauge what may or may not be popular. Make sure you follow us on Instagram or Facebook if you want a say on future Geckota watches.
