Hemlig Q - Preorder is open

Post by Bradystraps » Tue Feb 11, 2025 4:39 pm

Hey guys,
I’m considering doing a run of Hemlig quartz watches with a Swiss movement. Same specs as the automatic version and would come on the same strap. Target price is $249.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Todd

What an interesting idea.

Hemlig Quartz - Thoughts?

I would avoid the VH motor as it kinda seems to eat batteries. If you can source the ETA with heavy drive, even if if made the price $50 more, I believe it would be a better choice and more desirable.

Or you could do one with a Seiko Automatic movement... heck, even MKII put the Seiko movement in the Paradive...

Would be really cool, agree with @hoppyjr.
Because Watchdives already has a similar model for around 100$.

The production of a quartz version seems logical provided it maintains the same construction quality as the automatic model. For $229 buyers can easily purchase this watch because it provides excellent usability. The white-tipped second hand resonates best to me because it maintains a refined appearance alongside adequate visibility.

That’d be cool. Use the same ETA Paul uses in his DiverOne one

I'm sorry, English is not my first language. I use AI to translate, but it also changes the phrasing, which is why it sounds so unnatural.

Try Google translate instead?

Often translating nonsense, AI also brings meaning from my native language.
