March Updates: Production, Movements, Japan’s Tragedy

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

We thought we’d share a few recent photo’s – we’re getting SO close. Check out the completed case, bezel, crown, caseback, drilled lugs, dial, and bracelet! A couple things to note about the pictures – they haven’t been brushed or PVD’d yet and the date wheel pictured is white with black numbers, ours will be black with white numbers.

We were expecting to take delivery of our movements from Miyota this past week. When inquiring about the current status we received a reply indicating that as a result of the recent tragedy in Japan (Miyota’s headquarters), not only is Miyota experiencing a transportation shortage, but their employees have been impacted as well. It should go without saying that our main concern is with all of those impacted by the catastrophic events – our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that has been affected.

We also understand that this may impact the timing of our release, or it may not. We have not heard one way or the other but we wanted to be upfront with everyone about a potential delay. We anticipate finding out more information later next week.

We remain committed to delivering our pre-orders as soon as we possibly can and will be expediting shipments when/where possible to hopefully speed things along. We will send out updates as we receive them to keep everyone up to date with the most current information possible.

In times of catastrophic events, we understand the importance of banding together as human beings. With that said we will be donating a portion of all current and future pre-orders to help with relief efforts.

Thank you for your continued support and please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
