We have learned much about the industry through all this, including how long things can really take and how much testing really needs to be done. We have produced one prototype of a new model that Horology Matters did just to try, and we were completely surprised when the wearers came back with requests on where to buy them. We have tested another new prototype piece that for some reason has had repeated issues, and in spite of people already trying to order it we can’t even look at that until we are convinced ourselves. May never happen other than as a test unit. Which happens more often than you think in this industry. I know and have worn watches from the big names that still haven’t been officially announced and may never be released. So at least we are in good company.

This has been a tremendously fun exercise, and we are all thankful for the help and attention and support. From the beginning we wanted this to be something more enthusiast than anything else, and we never wanted anyone to be unhappy with what they paid for and chose. We will be donating to causes we have supported in the past from this project, and we hope to do so with everything like this. We have had orders from collectors of the most insane watches you can imagine, and from someone choosing this for his young son. We have had watch industry bigwigs who can’t even say that they ordered one in public, and we have had people who know nothing about watches other than that they like it.
