Seiko M516 Voice Note
Seiko M516 Voice Note was released in the early '80s, just prior to the release of The Ghostbusters reboot. Worn as an essential part of the Ghostbusters uniform. It was early days in voice notation so the choice was between an 8-second message and a 4-second message

The Process
Zbrush was a primary tool for sculpting these gems. Brought into Cinema 4d with a touch of Substance Designer. Lighted and rendered with Redshift Render.
I find these watch designs are fantastic, and feel they still look gorgeous these days.
Inspiration for shapes and volumes come from popular in 80's action figure toys like transformers, and gunpla.
