I change my mind, I'll pay for accerelate shipping.
Thanks
Parisri
Creator Division Furtive on May 1
@Parisri - The big question :) Update #20 pushed the date at the end of May but I think somewhere in June would be a safer assumption. I think 4 weeks to make 300+ watches by hand is optimistic, that is why I'm opening the door for June, I'm really sorry about the delays.
The good news is that the assembled circuit boards have been shipped and I should get them tomorrow (Friday, May 2nd)...can't wait to see production quantities of the core component of the Type 40! I'll make an update at this regard next week.
Creator Parisri on May 1
Any news about shipping date (Type 40) ?
Thank you.
Creator Division Furtive on April 15
@ Bert Nieuwenhuizen - Thanks, this is very kind of you.
Creator Bert Nieuwenhuizen on April 15
Please take your time. Better a good watch later then a bad watch soon.
Creator Division Furtive on March 27
@ Rami Wassaf - Still shooting to start shipping end of April. There is a two-week delay with printed circuit board fabrication so production can theoretically only start next week. These two weeks were the margin of safety...next speed bump will directly impact the estimate above :(
Creator Rami (Random Solutions SAL) on March 27
Any news about the expected final delivery??
Creator Division Furtive on March 12
@ David -That's a valid concern and the app part of the road map. But apps are not future proof neither and at some extend they require more maintenance so this is why the web-oriented solution was the best to start with. That being said, even if Division Furtive was to shut down, I would have a few timepieces of my own that I would still want to set so I'm comitted to keep a working solution (either the current one or a offline version)!
Creator David on March 12
Hi, great progress. I am not sure if this has been covered but would you consider releasing a mobile app (Android and iPhone) or desktop app that will allow owners to set the watch separate from the website? I hope you are in business for the long run, but I don't want to deal with you deciding to shut down 3 years from now and I am stuck with an expensive paperweight.
Creator Division Furtive on March 3
@ Steve Wang - Thanks for asking. So far so good but nothing worth doing an update about. I'm still gathering last parts to start production. The design phase is pretty much over (a few tweaks here and there), which is a very good news.
Creator Steve Wang on March 2
Hi any news?
Creator Division Furtive on January 22
@Zuber Bux - Currently the design is only "water resistant". I'm shooting for waterproof but I have to validate this experimentally so it's too early to comment. I bought the waterproof testing machine, I think that's a good first step toward this certification :)
@Benjamin Berkman - Current estimate is April, see update #15 for details. Congrats on posting comment #46 :)
Creator Benjamin Berkman on January 22
Any info on when the type 40 will ship?
Creator Zuber Bux on January 22
Quick question. Will the Type 40 or 46 be waterproof?
Creator Division Furtive on January 8
@ Sebastian Remollo Friedemann - Wow, that was fast(ish)...Canada Post isn't usually that good :)
Creator Sebastian Remollo Friedemann on January 8
Keychain received!
Thanks, and greetings from Spain.
Creator Division Furtive on January 7
@ Claude - Je porte ce nouveau fermoir-papillon depuis une semaine et j'ai absolument rien à redire (je vous ai envoyé une facture Paypal au courriel associé à votre compte Kickstarter).
"I'll take one butterfly clasp if the quality is good" >> I've been wearing the new clasp for one week and I'm perfectly happy with it...therefore I believe the quality is very good.
Creator Claude on January 7
Je vais prendre votre fermoir-papillon si il est de très bonne qualité. Merci
Creator Division Furtive on December 7
@Guillermo - Only 25% of the 1000 units sold, so it is most likely there will be some Type 40 watches available after the Kickstarter campaign :)
Creator Guillermo Villalobos on December 7
Oh that seems alright I was worried that I would have to thrust the watch to my face to get it to tell the time.
Looking forward to the watch may not be able to continue with my pledge though so I hope we are able to buy one after the kickstarter
Creator Division Furtive on December 7
@Guillermo - Thanks for the kind words! By "Day initials" do you mean D L M M J V S? If so, note there also English day initials on the upper part of the top cursor/display: S M T W T F S. You need to rotate your wrist because taps could easily be false triggers.
Rotating your wrist toward you if not something that is very natural for anything else than watching time, that is why I've used this gesture to trigger time display. That being said, I've found that turning the steering wheel of my car and scratching the back of my hand with my left hand can also trigger time display :)
Creator Guillermo Villalobos on December 7
Hey so, with the day initials on the watch will they always be in French?
Also to tell the time do I have to lift my wrist to my face or can I tap it or is there something else?
Watch looks amazing by the way
Creator Division Furtive on December 4
@Claude: Autant que j'aimerais que ce soit possible, le volume/prix actuel ne permet pas ce genre d'extra.
(English)
Q: Would it be possible to have an aluminum casing for the Type 40
A: As must as would like this, the actual volume/cost does not allow it.
Creator Claude on December 4
J'aimerais savoir si on pourra avoir le type 40 avec la monture comme le type 46 en alluminium moyennent un surplus? Se serais un bon retour pour les premiers investisseurs pour votre beau projet. Quand penséz-vous?
Creator Division Furtive on December 3
@Nicolas - Thanks for your feedback. Right now plan is for a regular watch box for Type 40. I'm contemplating the idea of offering the safe box as an extra. With wristband model C you have ±3 mm of adjustment. You can always make it shorter but not longer :)
Creator Nicolas Simard on December 3
If there is a safe box already, what would be the purpose of adding 20£ ? Nicer box ? And if the wrist C is either too short or too long, is it difficult to change later ? Thank you
Creator Division Furtive on November 30
@Sammi - It's a very neat piano finish box with black leather interior (white Division Furtive logo on top and embossed logo on the interior leather). Can't wait to receive the first samples!
Creator Sammi Khayer on November 30
I initially thought the watch would be delivered in some sort of simple transport wrapping/box only. If so, I would gladly add an extra 20£ for a special casing like the safe box. What does the standard box look like? Potentially it could be awesome enough :)
Creator Division Furtive on November 30
@ Sammi - I've made inquires and it does not look good for the safe box (too expensive). Would people be willing to pay extra for this option? It would be about 20£. I've order samples of the standard box for the Type 40. I should be getting the samples with logo and everything in two weeks.
Creator Division Furtive on November 30
@ Claude - Merci! Par contre Kickstarter est une plateforme anglophone. Toute l'info sur le site web et la page Facebook de Division Furtive est disponible en français.
Creator Claude on November 30
I'm in for wristband C. Je suis pour le brasselet C qui est beaucoup plus beau a mon avis.
Creator Claude on November 30
COMMENTAIRE GARRETT Love the idea. Wish I could swing the type 46, way to far out of my price range. Why is the movement motor so expensive?garrett gourley Would love to see the 40 housing made out of aluminum and the backs be a plastic like the type 46. I would even pay extra to have the case the type 46 came in. (TRÈS BONNE IDÉE ET LE SITE AVEC UNE OPTION EN FRANÇAIS SERAIS AUSSI UNE BONNE IDÉE CAR J'AI QUAND MÊME ENCOURAGÉ UN PRODUIT QUÉBECOIS MERCI)
Creator Sammi Khayer on November 30
I prefer wristband C and would love the safety box for the type 40. A cool watch as this deserves a great package.
Creator Rod on November 26
I'm in for wristband C. I think the clasp looks better as its larger like the watch.
Creator Division Furtive on November 26
@Garrett - Price is driven by the very low volume of all the custom parts, especially the motors. Uniqueness has its price :)
Creator garrett gourley on November 25

Creator Division Furtive on November 25
Hi, maintenance is only for the Type 46. For the first year, it is recommended to send it back to Canada to see how the novel movement design age. After that we can make arrangement with you local watchmaker as only minimal maintenance is expected (oil the two cursors). The Type 46 will have a 2-year warranty. The Type 40 is maintenance free and will have a 1-year warranty.
Creator mark reinhoudt on November 25
Question:
The watch requires maintenance after the first year and then every other year. As it is a watch like no other where can you have it maintained or is it that we have to send the watch back to Canada?
What is the warranty on the watch?
Creator mark reinhoudt on November 16, 2012
Safety box for #40 plus one from this side.
Creator Division Furtive on November 16, 2012
@Tristan - Thanks! Took a bunch of Type 46 pics today! Will sort this over the week-end and post the pics on the next update. As for new pics of the Type 40, this will come later (putting a new/nicer prototype together...waiting after some parts).
Creator Tristan on November 16, 2012
Congrats on reaching the goal for selling sex on a wrist :D
But now seriously... we need a lot more pictures ;^)
Creator Division Furtive on November 15, 2012
@ Nicholas - Thanks! I'll investigate to see if a bulk order on these "safe boxes" can make them affordable enough to be used for the Type 40 (right now it's only for Type 46). Stay tuned....
Creator Nicholas Natale on November 14, 2012
Glad to be a supporter of this amazing project (I wish I could've thought of something so amazing!). It's awesome to be a part of something so limited and special- I just hope they come in some fancy boxes similar to the ones in the video! :)
Creator Division Furtive on November 13, 2012
@ Angel - Great idea! It is certainly possible but has to be tested. It would be done with the same laser engraver that is used for the tokens. Since token production will begin before the end of the project, this will create an opportunity to test this and offer it as an option if it yields satisfactory results.
Creator Angel Hamm on November 13, 2012
Is it possible to customise the type 40 by writing a word below the epoxy or the lens?
Creator Division Furtive on November 12, 2012
@ David - The Type 40, just like the Type 46 uses a 24 mm wide strap. Strap can therefore be easily swapped (not that 24 mm straps are less common than narrower models).
Creator David on November 12, 2012
What is the lug width for the Type 40? Is there anything preventing an owner for swapping in a third-party strap? I assume it uses a standard springbar?
Creator Division Furtive on November 12, 2012
@ Mark - At the moment the new rubber strap samples haven't reach us yet (first ones received were not a good fit, this is why there was a conscious effort not to show it in the pictures). These should be in late this week or next week. Once this is in, pictures will be broadcast and it would be great to have backers' input.
Creator mark reinhoudt on November 12, 2012
Maybe it would be an idea to show us a full picture of the 40 watch with its strap as at current it is a bit misleading as only one strap is shown. (apparently the strap that is not standard with the 40 watch)
BTW I am still keen as hell to get one of these collector's items.
Creator Division Furtive on November 12, 2012
@ David - Will certainly do the list+example in the survey. As a backer, you must however make sure to pledge the correct amount for the desired rewards.
As for the "option" (like the one Robin requested), backer are free to make requests based on their taste and we'll do our best to accommodate them. However it's impossible to anticipate every possible options and therefore cannot list them (these are not rewards but extras).
