Re: Minuteman's A11

For the most part on our site listings and social I have been mentioning the movement and the fact FTS will be assembling the watches for us. So much so that the ownership has thanked me more than once for promoting the movement and FTS as a whole.

No ladies version planned. Too much of a niche and a tough one to crack at that. =)

Re: Minuteman Watch Co.'s Darby Automatic

Looks good to me. Especially the stainless/blue. Price? i believe it's around $400 I like them. Made in the USA is a plus. Hello as the brand owner I want to clear up things a bit. These are not made in the usa. The leather watch straps are, and the padded zipper cases are. They are also assembled ...

Re: Minuteman Watch Co.'s Darby Automatic

Hey Thomas. Hope all is well. This is a very nice watch and great size too. I love that top model and blue SS. Don't you employ vets to do the assembly and testing ?

Re: Minuteman Watch Co.'s Darby Automatic

It's a nice design, Thomas. Congratulations on coming up with something original looking at a decent price! Thanks so much for the kind words. We feel the price is inline with many brands that source 100% in China.. The cost for the US portion of our watches is a lot more than Chinese so its tough ...

Re: Minuteman Watch Co.'s Darby Automatic

Thanks to all of you for posting about our watch. Our brand is one you don't typically see being discussed on the watch forums. I believe much of that has been due to our use of quartz movements in the past. =) We are very hopeful this project will fund as we have long wanted to do a series with an ...
