·Can I inquire how many you had to produce to make this viable? I imagine making A watch is possible but for any company to be interested they would need a certain # to make sense.
I like the demensions you picked. Will you be selling some or did you make other plans. Just wondering how that works.

·Hello watchlovers. It's Paul from the Netherlands.
Over the years i've bought many watches. First Seiko divers, followed by Omega, Rolex and Grand Seiko.
In 2016 i started a online watch business in selling, trading used modern watches.
My personal taste for divers changed into dresswatches. So i got into Longines, Omega, Zenith, Jaeger le Coultre, Minerva and ended up with Patek, Vacheron and A. Lange. I really liked the style of the '50. Three part jumbo cases.
Beginning 2024 i thought about to step out of buying/selling watches online and thought about creating my own dress watch because the watches i really liked were too expensive to wear on daily basis.
And in the more reasonable priced category there were a lot of dress watches that did not fit my personal needs. (too big, too thick, small seconds in the wrong place or not balanced, a closed caseback, etc...). So i started to design my personal watch with the right specifications (for my taste). In short....
By the end of 2024 i sold all my watches and closed my account on chrono24 and here we are ... The prototypes are almost ready. Diameter 38mm, 8.5mm thickness (incl. domed sapphire), Lug to lug 47mm, Handwound movement from La Joux-Perret.
It is a very cool project.
