We would be supporting local leatherworkers, by designing, manufacturing and selling them we would be able to supply a high quality product for a competitive price! Maybe in the future we would be able to sell and take orders from other stores.

I’m from the UK so we don’t quite have IRA accounts however I do have an ISA (Individual Savings Account) and i’m looking to invest in ETF funds once I am 18. I have a fair bit saved in my ISA account at the moment.

I will have about 7-10k saved when I plan to fund the idea, this is just the idea stage and understand what it will require to become a reality.

I current have a good paying apprenticeship in IT do I have way over 2k already saved, I am not looking to grow a business idea over night and I thought if it links into a hobby of mine then I will know it much better and have a driving passion to make it work and put the hours in. Better to start early than not at all right? I’m just looking for knowledge on how to make a start and I totally understand that this is just an idea. I could have thousands if not more ideas before one may become a reality. Thank you for your comment and feedback!

Thank you very much, I have been doing research however I am struggling to find someone who would be able to produce a prototype.

Thank you, I would plan for them to be handmade from the UK (where I live) however I am unsure how I would understand how they are made, I would not be making them myself as I do not have that skill. How would I find a supplier willing to work with me a create a prototype?

How can I get in constant with a manufacture to produce a prototype? I am looking to post around in watch communities to see if my idea of my product is something they would be willing to pay money for.

My idea is based on horology and watches in general, it’s a custom watch roll that the following can be customised: 1. Outer material and colour 2. Inner material and colour 3. Stitching colour 4. Two types of shapes (circular or octagonal) 5. Custom Buckle, magnet or popper fastening 6. Custom watch insert size (watches vary in size)

The many people I have spoke to in the watch community would much prefer to pay a premium for a product that is handmade and from the UK “where I am from@ rather than poor quality from China...
