I always though it would be cool to have a working Breilting on my desktop and i finally found a way to make it work. Im using a Mac so using this software work work on a Windows machine but Im sure there's something similar.

I found this software BClock, which is just a simple analog desktop clock for osx, however you can add your own custom made skins. There are four files, one for the dial, one for the minute hand, second hand and hour hand. So I decided to try and make a Super Avenger. All I did was photoshop out the hands in the picture i found and use them as the other files. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get the seconds subdial to work, so for now I don't have a second hand. The photoshop of the dial isn't perfect either but Im going to attempt a couple more watches soon....

The software came from here - http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/BClock.shtml
And if there's interest ill find a place to upload some skins. I think Im going to try a Skyland next...

Just finished the Skyland. It doesn't take very long, especially since this time I just used the hands from the SA. I think the Skyland turned out better than the SA, I just need to make the hands a little shorter...

Great idea! When I get a minute, I'll try to find a Seawolf!
I'm getting envious looking at your Mac desktop. The hard drive gave out on mine, so now I'm using my PC Laptop. I sure miss the Mac!
Cheers,
Carl

Both creative and beautiful - well done! If I have the time, which I doubt, I might look up anything similar for my pc.
