Illustrated Watch Complications Guide

In order to celebrate David Duggan Watches’ 35th year in business, we launched an illustrated guide to horological complications, from simple day and date complications to those that can determine the movements of the moon.

Designed to help new and established watch fans and collectors, the guide shares more than three decades of knowledge and industry understanding, alongside tips, watch care advice and a few collecting stories that have punctuated David Duggan’s remarkable career.

I created four illustrations to mark the opening chapters of each subset of complications;

I) Time & Date Complications: Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Ref. 2499/100

II) Practical Complications: Rolex Antimagnetic Vintage Steel Ref. 2508

III) Travel Complications: Patek Philippe World Time Ref. 5230R

IV) Grand Complications: Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5204R-001

Work carried out during my time at Digital Potion.
