DECEMBER NEWS


It's already December and 2019 was another fast year for us. Looking back, we were able to attend both WindUp shows in San Francisco in the Spring and New York in the Fall. We produced the Venture Series 2 and Endeavour Series 2, the Venture is now sold out, and the Endeavour is nearly sold out. We brought the Solitude to life after years of thinking about the case and design. So what will be next? ... below is some information on what is going on this month, and what 2020 and 2021 could possibly look like ...
TODAY

The Solitude is available now and they should be in stock for a while. We produced 300 total watches, but the white dial is running low with less than 10 available at this time.

Looking ahead for the Solitude, we will be introducing a stainless steel 12 HOUR bezel early next year. The 12 hour bezel is great for tracking two time zones, or using the bezel to track hours when you line up the number 12 with the hour hand. This new bezel will be available with the black, gray, and blue dial, and possibly the white dial if there are any left when the bezels arrive. The bezels are not interchangeable, the bezel is chosen at the time of purchase and then I install them with care and accuracy.
JANUARY

Moving into 2020, we are expecting the Deep Tech to be ready around mid January. The Deep Tech pre-order is open now with a deposit, with the balance due at the time of delivery. Below are the actual dials for this watch. The black dial shows the ETA 2826 Big Date window at 3, which will be a black wheel with white numbers. There are a total of 100 watches being produced and 54 of them are reserved at this time.

We are excited to get this new version of the Deep Tech in, and on the wrist. There are still plenty of watches available at this time, have a look at the various models and see what is still available.
SPRING 2020

After the Deep Tech, we are planning to design and prototype a new 39mm Trekker. This design and prototype process will take more time than just reproducing the previous Trekker, because we want to make some thought out changes to the case and bracelet, and build a prototype to get it right. Look for more details, drawings, computer art, specs, and the prototype photos in the Spring of 2020, production will follow the approval of the prototype model, and will take several months from that point to complete the project.
BEYOND THE TREKKER

Looking beyond the Trekker, to Fall 2020 and 2021 my idea is to redesign and prototype the Venture into an all new 41mm case, and then move to another re designed 42mm Endeavour. Another watch that could make a return in the next year would be an all new Defender, which could possibly see a new case design but remain the Raven pilot / field watch.
THANK YOU


This will be my one and only newsletter in December, so we want to say Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2019 a great year and helped us grow to where we are today. Have a great end of year holiday season, Christmas, and New Year, and we will be back in January with news about the Deep Tech and Trekker! - Steve
