Identity, dial type, catalogue

The brief

Orrery's watches were good and its catalogue looked like everyone else's. The founder wanted the dial and the brand to come from the same drawing.

The identity

A custom set of numerals drawn for the dial at 4 mm, scaled up as the logo, and a catalogue printed with one watch per spread at true size.

Outcome

The numerals now appear on every dial, case back and box.
