Browse the studio- How it works
Your story,
on a dial.
Designing a custom dial should feel as effortless as telling your favourite story. Here is how we bring yours, from concept to wrist.
01.
The brief
Bring what moves you.
A scene from your favourite anime, a frame from a film you've watched a hundred times, the small everyday thing that quietly inspires you - bring it to us, and our artists will paint it by hand.
anime · cartoons · moments you love
02.
The message
Add a voice to it.
Every order arrives with a sleek NFC card. Embed a private video, a voice note, or a webpage - one tap, and the dial speaks.

- Why The Dial Story?
A moment,
a message,
a masterpiece.
Every dial is crafted with purpose - a personal story told through art, technology, and the experience of receiving it.
01.
- The art
Hand-painted,
nothing else.
Each dial is painted by a TDS artist - portraits, symbols, or initials rendered in fine detail. No shortcuts. No templates. Just hands, brushes, and patience.
02.
- The gift
A message,
woven in.
Every order includes an NFC card. Embed a video, a voice note, or a private page - one tap, and the gift comes alive.
03.
- The unboxing
The first
impression.
From the moment the lid lifts, your recipient knows it's something. Our signature box protects the dial and elevates the ritual of giving.

“He cried the moment the video played.”
I gifted my husband a dial with his late mother's portrait and an NFC message with her old voice recording. When he scanned it… he broke down. Thank you, TDS.

“A perfect anniversary gift.”
I designed a dial with our initials and added a link to our wedding video. She tapped the card and just smiled for minutes. We'll keep it forever.
