Hello gents….

Post by Bradystraps » Tue Jul 26, 2022 9:51 am

It’s been a while. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer (and other seasons!) and staying healthy.

I am still in process with producing my Hemlig LE and hope to have it done in the Fall. The goal remains to bring to market a watch with a solid value proposition at a fraction of the cost of the Benrus and MKII versions.

Best to you all!

Looks cool. I like the subtle/shadow logo. This might be my favorite of your watches.

Thanks for the kind words and support, guys! I just sent an update email to all Team Hemlig LE members (Preorder customers) and I am back on track and this watch WILL become a reality in the coming months.

I am willing to make another 10 or so Preorder watches available to members here that are interested. Just shoot me a message if you have any questions I can answer. :thumbsup:

Working on a short YouTube review of the watch as well as some other marketing materials right now. Hoping to have them done by mid fall.

Where's that youtube review! ( Hi - I'm new here )
I've been following these threads for a little while, I really love this style of dive watche and this Hemlig version looks beautiful. I have small wrists ( 6 and a quarter inch ) and wondered whether this would feel odd to wear? Is this larger than the Benrus and the current Mark II / Tornek Rayville version?

I'd be looking at wearing this daily as my one and only watch so to speak

Hello,
Still working on editing the video. Hope to have it completed soon!
My Hemlig LE case shape is made with comfort in mind. I received many compliments on this very topic with the original Hemlig and this version
uses the identical case. I find that my version is similar to the competitors in regards to spec size but feel confident that mine is more comfortable. I think you would be fine with wearing as a daily. I have a smaller wrist as well and find it extremely "invisible" when i wear it.

Feel free to contact me via PM or email if i can answer any more questions. :thumbsup:

Best,
Todd @ KWC

Hey Guys, a couple of weeks ago Todd sent me the prototype to take a look at & photograph. I'll be starting a new thread here in the Microbrand section to load a bunch of new pics for your viewing pleasure.

Here's a sample:
