Received a nice looking champagne dialed Junghans clock, only: the dial is water damaged all around
and vendor wouldn't take it back.
As the clean Max Bill-like look was ruined (me thinks), I started stripping the dial, making up a new one
out of several different Bill designs and through electro-cut vinyl, sprayed this onto the old dial.
Paint bleeded a bit, need to clean this up, but all in all I'm quite satisfied.
Only problem; wasn't taking the pointers in account when making up the dial: now the short one travels
over the numerals. What to do?

Looks good to me. Is there a law somewhere says you can't obscure the hour with the hand?

If there is, hope I won't be prosecuted soon...
Battery has rusted, when I'm done cleaning that, I'll post a pic
with it's brass rim and domed glass.

Both hands cover the numerals but who cares! I like it. Well done!

Finished and on the wall.
We don't seem to have the space to center this
on one of the walls (didn't seem right), we choose
to hang it just above one of our pastoe cabinets,
between lamps and ceramics.
