Made this part for fun, and part for using in a discount promotion on my graphic design work...
One of the 0.48 Inkscape logo contest entrants was my inspiration, but it was done from scratch without copying or tracing anything.

Re: Stopwatch
Thanks! By "crystal" do you mean the glass cover?
Re: Stopwatch
yes - used to be called crystal, I don't know what it might be called now
Definition of Crystal by WordIQ Online Dictionary

Still is, I guess

Your mind is what you think it is.
Re: Stopwatch
Interesting - thanks for the vocabulary lesson!
Re: Stopwatch
Wow, very nice!
Did you use text for the numbers, or draw them each uniquely?
The only issue for me is that the red hand seems to be just lying on top. I wonder if a couple of subtle shadows either on the face or on the hand itself, or both, might enhance the depth?
But this is really just a minor thing -- I think the overall work is excellent!

The text is text. Algerian for the numbers and Runy Tunes Revisited for the model, etc.
Good idea on the shadow. The hands need a little work still, I think, and the outer rim, too.
Re: Stopwatch
Here it is with subtle shadows for the hands, and some slight changes to the rim.
