Okay, so the other day I was digging around for some cool watch designs, and I stumbled upon this “Men In Black” Hamilton watch thing. I’d seen the movies, liked the sharp, clean style, and figured, “Why not try to recreate that look?” So, I started messing around.
First, I spent some time just looking at pictures. I googled “Men In Black Hamilton watch” and browsed through a bunch of images, trying to get a good feel for the design. It’s all about that simple, black and silver, kinda futuristic vibe, you know?
Getting the Basics Down
Next, I opened up my design software. I usually just use whatever is simplest. I started with a basic circle for the watch face. Made it black, naturally. Then I added a smaller circle inside, slightly off-center, like the real watch. This one I made silver.
- Created a black circle for the main watch face.
- Added a smaller, off-center silver circle.
- Played with the sizes until it looked right.
The tricky part was the numbers and hands. The “Men In Black” watch has these really thin, almost invisible lines for the hour markers. So, I drew some super skinny lines, made them a light gray, and arranged them around the inner circle. It took a while to get them spaced evenly. It was a total pain, I fiddled with it forever. The hands were similar – just thin, gray lines. One longer, one shorter. Simple, but it took some tweaking to make them look decent.
Finishing Touches (Or Lack Thereof)
Honestly, I didn’t go all-out on the details. I didn’t bother with the tiny Hamilton logo or the little date window. I just wanted to capture the overall feel of the watch. And I think I kinda did it! It’s not perfect, but it definitely gives off that “Men In Black” vibe.
I spent, like, maybe an hour on this, tops. It was more of a quick experiment than a serious project. But it was fun! Maybe next time, I’ll try to make it more detailed. Or maybe I’ll just watch the movies again. Who knows?
