After a break, the next step.

I discovered there is self adhesive black velvet.

From the original box picture I think the watch should fit in two ways. Snug flat when opened and on one corner when the box is closed. The fiddling started… cardboard, glue, black paint… trial an error.

Ready for the velvet! Again, fiddling with small pieces.

And tadaaa! The end result.

Maybe i will give the white inside a lick of paint. But for now, done and dusted.

Next project… give the carre a leather jacket.
