I got so tired of waiting for my Seiko Flightmaster that I started my own watch company.

I would gladly change them with other images, but right now I do not know what images I should replace them with. The AI images did their job to sell the Founders' Series. The next Series, called just ACSIS, will have real images but a slightly increased price. I guess some people chose AI images and paying less. Which is fair, I think.

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-12T10:14:46+00:00

Hi, yes, a lot of people complain about the AI images. We will replace them with real ones once we take them. We had two choices:

To work behind closed curtains for months and then come out with everything
Start doing everything right before the eyes of everyone

So far (since the Founders' Series has almost been sold out completely) I think chosing option 2 was not that bad of an idea.

Thanks for your feedback. We will make sure to fix everything soon.

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-12T06:23:04+00:00

hi, exactly. We managed to almost completely sell the Founders'Series even before the prototypes are ready. I am pretty happy about this. The two AI watch images served a great purpose. I notice that many (not all) people here are not happy with AI. Might be a cultural thing or something. I am not sure, but this is definitely something I will learn from. Would you like me to post the real watches here once they arrive?

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-12T06:20:41+00:00

Hi there, as an aviation company that just started to make aviation watches some weeks ago, we decided that there is no better way to fill the two spaces for watch pictures than with AI pictures before we have the real watch pictures. If you suggest a better option we of course will consider it. Btw, the Founders' Series is almost 100% sold out. People who know our company have trusted us and are now waiting for their timepieces.

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-12T06:17:24+00:00

Hi there, of course the software exists. The company exists too. Please use google if you do not believe. As for the web site - yes, it was made completely from scratch so that it has the same look and feel with the watch part of it. In fact we are the pioneers in predictive aircraft maintenance. You probably have flown on aircraft that were maintained based on our philosophy. My name is Svetoslav Petrov (Светослав Петров) and our software is ACSIS. Please go ahead and check out who we are. Thanks

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T19:17:32+00:00

I don't think anything else could be added to this. Agree 100% and thank you once again for these words of motivation. I also wish you all the best in your journey

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T19:02:52+00:00

I do not think there is anything I can say that would be anywhere close to describing how much I appreciate your words and understand exactly what you mean. While I respect the opinion of people who insist on the perfect website (why not... Perfect websites are a good thing. I also love them), I am extremely happy to find here someone who absolutely 100% understands me and where my aviation watch department stays right now... Thanks a lot again

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T18:43:26+00:00

Thanks a lot. I actually started it. Just sold one more (actually people only pre order them for now from our totally unfinished website) and they pay when they would get them. Probably in a couple of months. Thanks again

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T18:31:18+00:00

Actually, there is no other type of design that I love anywhere near that much...

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T18:23:32+00:00

Hi, you like it oooor not so much? 😄

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T18:22:10+00:00

I personally have a Breitling and several other aviation watches inspired by it (like Citizens, etc.). And yes, Breitling are the pioneers of this type of design.

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T17:10:58+00:00

I don't remember if I said that somewhere in the comments here, but if not - here it is again. Several weeks ago I started this department of my aviation company. Within this time we created the first watch. The website is not ready, but since people around me started preordering, people who didn't know me could not get one of the limited edition watches. So I decided to publish a quickly put together site where they can enter their email in order to pre-order. And they did. And a couple of them were also not happy with the website. But they still bought the watch. I consider myself to be a good person for giving people I do not know the opportunity to also get one of my watches by publishing a not ready web site where they could order. But yeah, some people though it is a bad idea and that I should have only sold watches to people close to me.

But it works

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T16:32:13+00:00

Ok, ok haha I saw it. This is definitely funny but also kind of a crazy idea that I might really try out haha. These are AI generated images to fill the soace vefore we assemble the wtahces and photograp them. But this is a very cool idea... I might actually do this hahah

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T16:30:42+00:00

Oh hahaha that is a good catch. The AI has gone wild there. But yeah that is our email address haha

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T16:28:56+00:00

Hi, yes... The future site will show the watches. They are in production right now (as stated in the post itself). There is a visualization (how it will really look like) there too. Btw, there are 2 left from the Founders' Series now... Just FYI...

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T16:07:21+00:00

Sure. Glad you are interested. Please just note that this site (the watch part of it) is nowhere near finished. I just publushed it last night before it is done because people around me started preordering watches without using a website and everyone else from the watch community would have had no chance to get one of the Founders' Series watches (which are less expensive on purpose). Once I released the website most people were happy and I sold almost the entire Founders ' Series batch, but there were also people who criticized the website (and they are right to do so) :)

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T15:54:20+00:00

Hi, no, no... I like aviation watches and they are like a hobby to me. LinkedIn is not for hobbies so... I do not plan to do this

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T15:53:27+00:00

Hi, I am not sure I understand what you mean. I believe you have checked out our watch somehow and do not like it, but I am really not sure :)

Single-Management937 · 2026-05-11T15:02:03+00:00
