Our Process

Our ideas start out as a sketches before they are converted into 2D renders. We then work with engineers to model our design into technical drawings. Each component is prototyped and assembled to test for
durability and variance. We then further refine each elements through new prototypes until they meet our specifications. The process takes between 9-12 months before final production begins.

US Assembly & Quality Control

The last stage of the production process is assembly and quality control. Unlike most brands, our chief technician performs the final tasks in our Kansas City workshop.

Each dial and hand is checked under magnification for any imperfections in finish and fitment. Each case is tested for proper operation, which includes timing bezel rotation, crown fitment and push button operation where applicable. All rubber and neoprene gaskets throughout watch case are inspected and water tested to factory specified water resistance.

Once assembled, all watches functions are checked and timing is tracked over 24 hours for accuracy. The case is dry tested to a minimum of 10atm pressure. Those that pass the final inspection are added to the inventory and made available for purchase.
