Once you’re knee-deep into watch modifications, it’s tough to turn off the radar that’s constantly scouting for ideas. I’ve seen many minimalist mods of the Casio Royale, so I knew I wanted to add complexity and design details to this timepiece while retaining the industrial and technical aesthetic of the base watch. But I didn’t know what the theme would be. That is until I came across the nuclear symbol. After some sketching, the result is the post-apocalyptic AE1200. Being the 8th official project, I included the “008” across the top.
