MERIDIAN — Shopify Watch Showroom Concept

MERIDIAN is a self-initiated Shopify concept for a specialist watch showroom. The aim is to make distinctive pieces easy to discover, examine and return to through a considered browsing experience.

Espresso, ivory and oxblood frame an editorial visual identity. A compact centered wordmark, generous typography and a portrait watch study set the tone. Original watch illustrations give the six fictional pieces a coherent catalog, with a separate editorial chapter devoted to their details.

Visitors can search by watch characteristics, filter available and archived pieces, sort by price and save a shortlist for their browser-tab session. Each detail page includes specifications, whole-watch and clearly labeled dial-crop views, related pieces and a contextual enquiry preview. Returning to the collection retains the current browsing filters.

Built in Shopify with a custom Liquid section, CSS and JavaScript. Six fictional watches remain editable through native theme-section blocks. Earlier saved price and availability edits were verified and restored; this refinement preserves that content structure.

The updated draft was checked across all six product routes and nine home, collection and detail layouts at 375, 768 and 1280 pixels, with no measured horizontal overflow. Targeted checks covered shortlist save, reload and removal, filtering, sorting, inspection controls, mobile navigation, enquiry validation and focus return. This independent portfolio concept uses fictional data and hash-based navigation. Native Shopify Products, stock synchronization, enquiry delivery and checkout are outside its scope. Visuals combine original SVG illustrations with an AI-generated editorial hero. No commissioned client work or commercial results are claimed.
