Publish 3D Printable Watchmaking Models and Express Your Mechanical Creativity!
We are pleased to announce the launch of our 3D modeling contest dedicated to the fascinating world of watchmaking! This contest is the perfect opportunity for all enthusiasts of mechanics, design, and precision to push the boundaries of creativity by deg 3D printable models of watches, clocks, and other timekeeping pieces.
The goal of this contest is simple: produce 3D files (STL, OBJ, 3MF, etc.) of watches, clocks, and other timekeeping-related pieces, all ready to be 3D printed. Whether you are an expert in modeling or a curious amateur, this challenge is open to all skill levels. Take this opportunity to revisit classics of watchmaking or invent new creations inspired by modern, steampunk, or minimalist designs.
Here are some ideas to inspire you:
- Wristwatches with unique dial designs

- Mobile watchmaking pieces such as gears and functional mechanisms
- Custom alarm clocks with geometric or artistic patterns
- Stands or displays for watches and clocks
- Pendulum clocks, modern hourglasses, or stylish timers
