Every mechanical watch goes through our proven 6-stage manufacturing process.
From your initial blueprint to final delivery, complete transparency at every step.
Stage 1 - Week 1
Initial Brief & Brand Requirements
Share your brand vision, target market, budget range, and functional specifications. We start with understanding your goals.
Stage 2 - Week 1-2
Design Collaboration & Blueprint Review
Submit sketches, reference designs, or use our 1,000+ configuration library. We create engineering blueprints and provide feasibility analysis.
Stage 3 - Week 3-5
Prototype & Sample Approval
Physical prototype production. Fine-tune dial, hands, case details. Multiple approval rounds until perfect.
Stage 4 - Week 5-6
Production Setup
Finalize suppliers, tooling, fixtures, and component sourcing. Prepare for mass production.
Stage 4 - Week 5-6
Production Setup
Finalize suppliers, tooling, fixtures, and component sourcing. Prepare for mass production.
Stage 5 - Week 6-12
