It’s time to… assemble

After months of cutting, carving, engraving I finyes, first because I’m already thinking of making a digital version of it😂) watch!!!

In the previous article I had already connected the case to the strap and also added the closure of the watch. Now comes the hardest part: mounting the circuit inside the case and connecting the battery and closing everything up.

  • Lithium-ion battery
  • Watch case
The battery is a simple 3.7v 180mAh lithium-ion battery connected directly to the circuit and to save space I made the charging circuit external. The case of the clock at the time is plexiglass but the idea would be to do then in stainless steel because, in addition to being more beautiful is also more durable.
  • Time: 7:30 PM

After assembling all the components, with the help of 4 simple screws, I hooked the plexiglass case to the wooden case thus completing the assembly of the clock.

Clicking 2, 3, 4 or 5 times on the lateral button activates

  • double click: the leds indicating the time turn on;
  • triple click: allows setting the hour;
  • four clicks: allows to set minutes;
  • five clicks: all leds light up (used for debugging).

That’s it, it seems incredible to have managed to complete this project (the first of a long series 😁). I am very satisfied with the final result even if during the construction phase I noticed some things that surely can be improved or completely changed in the future digital version.
