I’ve shared this here before, but thought I’d drop back in and say Happy Easter.

Still working on the XERA concept — a watch inspired by the idea of time as a dimension, and what a “time object” might look like if it wasn’t designed the traditional way.

The approach has always been dial-first, focused on the edge rather than the centre — loosely inspired by the event horizon where time and light remain observable.

Prototype is currently in production, so just in that waiting phase now while everything gets finalised.

Always interested in thoughts, especially from people into watches/design.

Hi there r/watchrepair. I need help finding the correct term and size for this thing- I assume it's simply called a gasket but I may be wrong. It's on the back of the battery hatch of my watch. I've changed the battery plenty of times, and I thought I should probably buy a stock of gaskets and change it too when I change the battery.

It's kind of hard to tell because it's been stretched out and it's a bit dry, but it seems the gasket's diameter is 22mm and its thickness is 1mm. I took a measurement with it stretched nearly straight, just in case this is necessary, but I don't think this is really a thing. Anyways, that measurement was 31 mm, if necessary.

Can anyone tell me what this part is called, and where I should buy it from?

If it helps, the watch is a Japan-only brand "Maker's Knot Watch," model CS-36. Actually pretty cool watch. Some might think the "swap the strap" feature is just a gimmick, and maybe it is, but I like only needing to own one watch for a variety of occasions.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thank you.
