Years ago I bought a Top Time ref. 2003 off an online site. When it arrived, I was completely surprised to find that it came with a box (not sure the vintage) and papers. The watch is said to be from 1968 and i have not really looked into whether not not these are 100% correct for this year but they sure do look the part. I wanted to keep them in a safe place, out of sight but still wanted to be able to see them from time to time so...I recreated them. I guess its the graphic designer in me that just couldnt resist. Maybe I was just a bit bored at work as well.
I set about scanning the papers and then figuring out the fonts used, recreating graphic elements and likes. In the end, they came out great! I can now stick my originals away safe in my, well safe and show these off. The language is pretty classic. They just dont write like this anymore.
It was a fun little project and i would say that mine is almost prefect. I think the best part is trying to match spacing and breaks. We have come a very long way since then and I loved seeing all the strange spacings and things like that.
I have to take some more pix of the originals and also of the box and see what people think. Again, it was a complete surprise when they arrived anyway. I just love having things that go together and are complete.
