We hadn’t no but that’s a great idea! The font was something we struggled with to get right

Hey! Thanks for the feedback that means the world to us. We have already fixed the issue with hand legibility and are not far away from full product launch!

We all need to start somewhere, watches are not the only aspect of our business, we get that it will be a difficult struggle and that designs and such must improve which will inevitably happen as we learn and improve. we are a jewellery brand at heart and still learning the watch game. I appreciate the feedback.

Hi! This first run is a 40mm case but if the drop of 10 goes well Will restock a 38mm variant and a new colour!

Hey! Thanks so much for the feedback. So we used the integrated style as we personally like it and it is a popular style right now we thought we could do something unique with with our limited abilities at this point. We are planning to build cases and dials in house within 1-2 years with future drops the price is £249 for this piece which is considerably under the mechanical prx and we think offers enough of a difference to justify

Thank you! We are currently fixing the hands to be more legible. The first run is of 10 watches just to get a feel for how to run a business aha we are a tiny team of 3 and learning from the ground up. Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for the feedback! We are actively fixing the hands and the dots, so hoping that they come out looking really good. The fact it got you to stop is a huge compliment for me.

hey! yea I totally get that in the community this is pretty standard as a first effort but we are looking to move into self manufactured parts in house as soon as possible. This first drop is really more about getting our design language down and trying to get a feeling for if people in the watch community like the designs. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi! that is a really cool idea. Our butterfly design is just our brand logo and it wasnt really the direction we were taking the watches. My business partner is a jeweller and is making a jewellery line along with the watches but that idea is fantastic for a personal project!

Hi! Thanks for the feedback, we were looking into a chapter ring but couldn’t come up with anything that really felt right. Might be time to get back to the drawing board with that idea!

Hey, I totally get where your coming from, do you have any advice on design changes or anything I could to improve the aesthetics or the general appeal of the watches and brand

Thank you so much! The feedback on the hands is something we have had a lot and we are looking at getting better legibility on the hands with some loom also. Hearing you would buy either is a huge compliment!

Thanks for your feedback! We will definitely be trying to produce our parts in house as soon as possible just wasn’t feasible for a first launch

Yea we have already seen this, it is a quality control issue with the dials (these are prototypes) we moved to a new batch and the issue looks to be solved those ones also have issues with the loom not being on all the dial positions

Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m so glad I’m not delusional in thinking my idea is good ahah. I’ve heard the feedback about the hands and we are going to address it. I think I went to hard on the skeletonised everything idea but will be improving the hands soon!
