We welcome submissions of designs for consideration for our watch range. You will be paid part of the sale price, after each sale, of any watches designed by you (which would usually be made available for sale as limited editions).
Not all ideas will fit within the range of aesthetics which make sense as part of the UnconstrainedTime brand, but we are definitely open to some ideas outside the range of our current range of watches.
After looking at our current range of watches, if you want some inspirational images of other artist’s work which does fit within our chosen aesthetic range, look at some randomly chosen examples from this document.
While submitting a 3D render is likely to show your design most effectively, we will accept sketches or drawings. Make sure you think about what materials your design will use, and how they will be manufactured, such as by 3D printing or precision CNC milling etc.. If we love your design, we can work with you to optimize those aspects.
Keep in mind that the time-pieces you create with UnconstrainedTime must be able to be worn in practice as watches. They need to be practical to manufacture, and wearable without damaging people or clothing, without breaking or becoming imperfect from reasonable use.
You can also see this collaboration with us as a way to boost promotion of your creativity. If we accept your watch design, we will put the 3D renders on our website and social media for potential customers to see.
Make sure you keep any initial sketches of ideas, or notes you make, as well as documenting your design process, because people love to see the development which goes into this kind of work, so showing your fans the whole sequence of how you get from initial ideas to a finished piece of artwork, can be great for promoting you as a designer.
You are responsible for making sure that your work does not violating anyone else’s copyright. This also means that you cannot use AI to generate your ideas, because the legal ownership of the results of AI work is currently not clear (since they can be seen as being derived from the works which the AI was trained on). We are also not looking for designs based on easily available 3D models, because we can create those ourselves.
You may submit a maximum of three designs per designer. If you want to submit designs, first contact us and tell us you’re going to submit designs, then , after we’ve replied, you can attach your designs to an email, because if you send attachments (or links) in an initial email, that email will be less likely to get through to us.
Please give your email address and an alternative way of contacting you (such as a social-media profile or a mobile phone number) since emails don’t always get through.
If one of your designs sells well, we will invite you to submit further designs. If we love your design, we will work with you to generate photographic-quality renders and/or a physical version of your design(s) which we will display on our website to attract buyers. We will tell you how to promote your UnconstrainedTime watch designs on your own website and/or social-media to increase the likelihood of sales, in addition to us promoting them on our website and social media.
