You wanted to build a screen? Is there no screen with that size?

Maybe not lcd, but eink instead

This type of LCD are custom made because of the particular segment layout. See the /screen/ section in the linked page.

But you could just have an eink display with higher resolution and build segments out of pixels. Maybe it doesn't look as good but would be more flexible and would have a chance of actually shipping a complete watch
