Dear Ambassadors, Currently, the production situation is improving. After operating with reduced staff due to the Covid, our subcontractors have resumed a rhythm close to normal. The 500 movements are finished, the packaging is in production, the Ambassadors medals are finished. Initially, the most pessimistic date for the delivery of the watches was mid-September. A Few weeks ago, we were told that it would finally be the end of August. But over time, the calendar has improved even more and this week we were given a date of July 15. The covid situation is less bad and everyone hopes that there will not be a new wave of contamination. Another factor taken into account is the explosion in the prices of raw materials. We had to increase our prices and there will most likely be another increase for our future customers if we are too impacted. Finally, the consequences of the war are catastrophic for Europe and the rest of the world, both in human and economic terms. Miraculously, we only had one order cancellation (a customer from Poland who had to cancel for personal reasons). The other ambassadors are understanding and supporting us. Anyway, there is no other solution, those who try to buy a new car, a computer or a camera could experience this situation and delays. Have a great weekend. Blaise-Dominique.
These boxes are incredibly and elegantly gorgeous!
I previously saw one of these boxes briefly in a video, but these still shots make it so much easier to see how truly fine these boxes really are!
The wood chosen is spectacular and appears to be as finely finished and polished as could be expected for a custom piano! Plus, those beautifully mortised brass quadrant hinges reflect not only an expert craftsman's attention to detail, but also an assurance that the box has been designed with the structural strength necessary for it to last for many decades.
I cannot even guess at the production cost for these, but it must be substantial!
This is absolutely superb and well worth the wait to get the design, top quality and attention to details which are defining traits from everything my dear friend Blaise has done throughout the years. Keep it up bro 👍🏽
Hi will you be advising customers before despatch as this is peak holiday season and therefore every chance that a watch will be issued and not collected due to vacation - which would potentially be frustrating.....
Thanks for the update Blaise! much appreciated! I think that everyone would appreciate a short vid, or another one! of the Mille Mer on your wrist and more non destructive testing opinions by your QC collaborators!
This is excitingly news!
