AI Workshop Series · July 2026

AI for the
design studio.

Three hands-on sessions to put AI inside the way your team turns a brief into a finished proposal — keeping the craft, cutting the repetition.

Far East Efficiency · Swiss Expertise · Italian Heritage

Before we touch how you work

We studied your world.

A watchmaker assembling a movement

Hong Kong, est. 2004

A family craft in watches & jewellery since 1949, Italy.

Kowloon + Shenzhen

Two homes — a design HQ and a 10,000 sq ft assembly floor.

Vertically integrated

Idea to finished piece, examined in detail at every stage.

Brands on four continents

Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East — under NDA.

Who these workshops are for

Five designers. Two cities.

The people who turn every client brief into a proposal — and who we will hand a faster way of working.

Every session runs hybrid — live in Hong Kong, joined from Shenzhen.

A Belton timepiece

The work

Every brief becomes a proposal.

A client sends a direction. The studio designs, colours, and presents it back as a polished pitch.

Today, each one travels the same road — let’s walk it.

The road, today

One brief, three stages.

STEP 1

Design the watch

Built from the kit of parts — case, dial, hands, bracelet.

Your craft

STEP 2

Colour & variants

Recolour dial, crown & strap into each direction, by hand.

Repetitive

STEP 3

The proposal

Same intro copy, the graphics, then assemble the deck.

Repetitive

Stage one is your craft. Stages two and three repeat, almost identically, on every single proposal.

Where the hours actually go

The craft isn’t the bottleneck.

The repetition is. That’s exactly where AI earns its place — and where these three workshops aim.

Design the watch

Colour & variants

The proposal

craft repetition

The intervention

Keep the craft. Automate the rest.

STEP 1

Design the watch

Stays human

STEP 2

Workshop 1 · Image AI

STEP 3

Same intro copy, the graphics, then assemble the deck.

Repetitive
Workshop 2 · Knowledge base
Workshop 3 · Proposal build

Three workshops, each landing on a precise part of the road you already walk.

The series · first three weeks of July

Three weeks. Three skills.

Week 1

Iterate the design

Stage 2 — Colour & variants

Nano Banana · image AI
Week 2

Capture the house style

Stage 3 — Proposal copy

Knowledge base · context
Week 3

Build the proposal

Stage 3 — Assembly

AI presentation build
2 hours each Hybrid — HK live + Shenzhen remote Hands-on, on real briefs
Workshop 1 · Week 1

One design → ten directions.

Targets Stage 2 — colour & variants

One watch design generated in four colourways with AI

One design · four colourways · made with Nano Banana

Generate, don’t redraw

Feed in an existing watch; get colourways and design updates back in seconds.

A whole palette at once

Dial, crown and strap recoloured into every direction the brief hints at.

The team gets fluent

Hands-on with Nano Banana — iterating becomes a reflex, not a chore.

Outcome: a repeatable way to explore variants before lunch, not over days.

Workshop 2 · Week 2

Give the AI your house style.

Targets Stage 3 — the proposal copy

Brand voice
The standard intro
Past winning proposals
Do’s & don’ts

Belton context

build once · reuse forever

On-brand copy
Consistent structure
A draft in minutes

Outcome: a reusable Belton knowledge base, so the AI writes the announcement and the pitch in your voice — every time.

Workshop 3 · Week 3

From assets to a finished proposal.

Targets Stage 3 — assembly & presentation

Watch renders
Colourways
On-brand copy
Specs & layout

Finished proposal

Outcome: the team assembles one real proposal, start to finish, live — the deck we bring back to show you.

What changes

The same road, shortened.

After the series

AI build
freed → more proposals

Same craft. A fraction of the repetition. More proposals every month.

What the team keeps

Not slides — a new way of working.

An image-iteration workflow

The exact process to spin variants from any existing design.

A Belton knowledge base

Brand voice and proposal context the AI reuses on every job.

A proposal template + build flow

A repeatable path from loose assets to a client-ready deck.

One finished proposal

Produced live in Workshop 3 — proof, in your hands.

How it runs

Built around your studio.

July, weeks 1–3

One workshop per week across the first three weeks.

2 hours each

Tight, hands-on sessions — six focused hours in total.

Hybrid by default

Delivered live in Hong Kong, joined remotely from Shenzhen.

The investment

HK$50,000

The complete series — three 2-hour workshops.

3 hands-on sessions Materials & recordings A finished proposal to show for it

A one-time investment in a workflow your five designers use on every brief, long after the series ends.

Nicola — here’s the proposal

Let’s give your studio
its time back.

Keep the craft that makes a Belton proposal yours. Hand the repetition to AI — and ship more, better, every month.
