All you need to know about our launch!

Launch Set date to December 2020 1st at 5PM!

Thanks for your votes in our last blogpost! We are super excited for our launch tomorrow!

Introducing the Circular 1 Collection!

Why Crowdfunding ?

Crowdfunding is a community-based system which allows the general public to provide financial support for a project that appeals to their own values. It helps to not only raise the funds to go into the first production, but also to confirm the commercial potential of a concept. In addition, there is no risk of overstocking, as the units are produced according to pre-orders made by contributors. No waste!

HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK ?
We created a page on the Swiss platform “wemakeit.com”, which will introduce our concept and our watches. The campaign will begin on December 1st 2020 and will last for 45 days.

RISK-FREE ?
At the end of the 45-day fund-raising period, if our financial goal has been reached, or even exceeded, we will go into production. If this is not the case, you will get your funds back within 15 days of the end of the campaign.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY WATCH ?

We will start the production end of January, at the end of the crowdfunding campaign. Our goal is deliver them to you as fast as possible. But of course, good things take time. Under the supervision of our Chief Quality Officer Cédric, we will ship out the first watch at the end of May.

HOW much DOES THIS WATCH ACTUALLY cost US ?

Our criterias to select suppliers are short routes, the carbon impact of materials and the price of watch components. Most of the watch components are local, below you will find all the details on costs & origins per components.

As you can see in the graph above, the case is what costs us the most. It is produced in Jura, the added value of a local collection network of recycled steel and the modular design are included.

Why should you contribute to the project during its launch?

Second, you become a price no one else will, ever! We want to thank you for your trust on this first step as a brand.

Third, in the upcoming months, you will witness the production of your timepiece and participate in the creation process.
