Watches shipping.

Update #22 · May 2, 2013 · 12 comments

Hi Everyone,  I am completing watches and shipping them weekly.  I am almost done with the 48mm Swiss Skeletons, Swiss Open Mechanicals and am working on the Swiss Mechanicals.  On the side I am refining the design based on comments I have received.  

The comments section of my project has deteriorated to a very mean playground for a few.  I no longer look at it.  It has had a pretty negative effect on me and kills my motivation.  Not reading it is my solution.  

Thanks again for the support.  The 99% of you are great.  The others have violated the Kickstarter terms of service and can contact them, not me, regarding rewards.  

Henry

Solid Watch Progress

Update #21 · Feb 18, 2013 · 24 comments

Hi,  The photo below shows my progress with the Swiss Mechanical watch building.  There are almost another 30 that are complete and will be shipped this week.  Most are Skeletons.  I have made progress with the 48mm Swiss Mechanicals as well.  A survey will go out soon.  All is well here in the HenryWatch world.   The watches just get better and better.  Worth the wait.  I hope you agree.

Thanks for all your support.  Henry

More Watches Shipping

Update #20 · Nov 9, 2012 · 25 comments

The watches are shipping every day now..... I use Fedex for the US addresses and USPS for most international. All are insured. My day job is building all the master models for Amazon's Kindles at Lab126 in Cupertino in Pro-Engineer..... so precision is a big part of my life. The support from all Kickstarters is really appreciated.   I have really started a business and am making the watches with Keidi.  This might not be the quickest way to get a watch but most that have received it think it was worth the wait.   I am now making the 48mm Swiss Mechanical watches.  Then on to the others.

Anniversary Update

Update #18 · Aug 28, 2012 · 15 comments

Yes it has been a year since the project was funded.  Lots has happened and the results are a watch that I am very proud of.  A few have received them and the feedback has been mixed.  A few details have been ironed out and now production is increasing.  

Latter this week we are moving to a larger shop and adding capacity.  Many thanks for your support and patience.  Sorry for all the delays.

Henry

    More of the The Swiss Skeleton Mechanical Watch. I visited the watch mechanism supplier here today (06-07-2011) and he has great news...... I have the possibility of getting another 10 of these........ I received my first sample and snapped these photos. It is a very nice mechanism.......well trimmed and slightly decorated. The photos do not do this justice. The screws are dark blue the wheels are gold colored and the bearing are red...........Retail for this watch will be $3000.00. You can pre-order this at the collectible price of $650. The supply of this mechanism is very, very restricted. I am offering another 10 of this type.

    More of the The Swiss Skeleton Mechanical Watch. I have had continuing discussions with the watch mechanism supplier here...... I have the possibility of getting more of these........ I received my first sample and made a video which you may view at the top of this site. It is a very nice mechanism.......well trimmed and slightly decorated. The screws are dark blue the wheels are gold colored and the bearing are red...........Retail for this watch will be $3000.00. You can pre-order this at the collectible price of $650. This reward is the most difficult to supply and I will advise when the quantity becomes unmanageable. It seems that I can get more if I pay more...... there is a limit to this. I just do not know what it is yet........

    This is a bit optimistic but......... this level offers a reward of a WHITE GOLD version of the Swiss Mechanical Movement watch. My first nice watch was a Georg Jensen in Stainless and then an 18kt Blancpain. I always wanted both in white gold......
