Redesigning Intan's Swatch Viviennne Westwood watch
I had promised a close friend of mine - Intan, to help her repair a Swatch Vivienne Westwood watch... which was a gift by her hubby long ago... And she did give the freedom to redesign.
There I was looking at the "long abandon" watch...
Should i be just stringing it back with new elastic cords... something similar with the original design?
The original spacers are metal gold round beads.. I then replaced them with 4mm Siam Swarovski crystal bicone beads... so here's how it looks like:
Honestly, it looks Normal...
I then dismantle everything, I wanted to do something totally different.
Since the face of this collectible watch is in gold, therefore I decided to go with a gold base - added some metal gold chains, matching fancy 3 loop connectors and a gold coin and ...
Now the watch looks like this :)

When I presented it to her the other night, she was thrilled, and she loves it ( a relief to me!)
I think it looks more " fashionable" now.
For the remanding beads ( rectangular shaped wrist part) i did a dangling necklace.
tbc...
