Dialogue with the factory

Hi Gustav,
Yes, we can make like that no problem. The MOQ is 500 pcs. You can make different colors. The price depends on the specification you require. For example, what movement you want to use, quartz or automatic. And what glass  you would like, mineral glass or sapphire glass. After knowing these details, I will send you a quotation. Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards
Alice

Hi Gustav,
Thanks for your quick response.

1. Stainless steel case

2. Stainless steel band

3. Miyota 8215 automatic movement (this movement is three hands with date. On your design, there is no date. We can use this movement but don’t open the date window. Other 3 hands automatic movement without date is very expensive)

4. Sapphire glass

5. Butterfly buckle

6. Waterproof: 5ATM

The specification I quoted is high-grade standarded.

The right vision looks like plastic watch. It’s light and all parts are cheap except movement. The case molding fee for a plastic watch is very expensive. I don’t suggest making this kind of watch as a high quality brand.

Our process is: if you are ok with the price and MOQ, you can send me your logo. I will ask our designer to make drawing for you to confirm. After you confirm the drawing, I will make invoice for you to make 30% deposit. And then we will make engineering drawing of the case for your to confirm. After you confirm, we will start mass production. When mass production finished, I will make invoice for you to pay for balance of the order. After you pay balance, we will ship out the order.

By the way, 34mm is a lady watch size. Mens watches usually from 38mm to 42mm for this kind of watch.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Alice, thank you for your informative response. In order to make 3 watches with small size dials I wish to have all of them made 35 mm. I want no additional text, logo or graphic on the dials other than our logo if possible. I attached illustrations of the logo and its placement on the dial. 

Model 2 (from the right): stainless steal case 35 mm and stainless steel dial. A detail I would like to consider for this watch is an accent color of the dial, orange or peach. 


Specification for model 1 northern light green: a round stainless steel 35 mm case with scratch resistant glass, a northern light green dial and automatic movement. Stainless steel band. Miyota 8215 automatic movement, three hands with date also sapphire glass, butterfly buckle, waterproof: 5 ATM.


Specification for model 1 ocean blue: a round stainless steel 35 mm case with scratch resistant glass, a northern light green dial and automatic movement. Stainless steel band. Miyota 8215 automatic movement, three hands with date also sapphire glass, butterfly buckle, waterproof: 5 ATM.

Yours Sincerely, Gustav

Hi Alice and thank your for the response also illustrations.
I can see you’ve chosen to make model 1 in steel wristband, is it what you decided or can it be discussed? What you have done on short notice are incredible.

Hello there Gustav,  

That’s good to know the details you shared with me. About the dial of mold 2, it says stainless steel dial, I attached a picture for your reference, do you meant this kind of dial?

About the MOQ. It is 500 pcs for one metal mold. We have three molds which we’re talking about, but the metal parts, like the case and strap are the same then is fine. We can consider it’s one mold.

Gustav,
Thanks so much for your email.
Our MOQ is 500 pcs per model.
Grade A quality ( one year warranty) dial&hands with Japan lume Grade A+ ( two years warranty) dial&hands with Swiss lume

Any other questions, please let me know.


Best regards
Richer

Thanks so much for your email.
In fact, A and A+ quality difference is not only for lume quality, except the movement model, all other parts quality is not the same.
For example, one dial, we can do more than 10 different quality with different price and all other parts the same way. Swiss lume is stronger and can live for long time in the dark. 

Yes, if you just want to make samples now then you have to pay mold fee and expensive sample cost. Like below.

   Delivery time:35-40 working days

But if you can make order deposit directly, we will provide you 3 pcs free pre-production samples for checking before production. Please check the attached PDF to see all process. 80% of our clients choose it to save time and money.

Any other questions, please let me know.

Best regards

Inspiration

Weather changes constantly during a year in Scandinavia. It does inspire us in everything we do. All clock-faces are taken from natural elements like northern light and limestone quarrys on Gotland also the Baltic sea. Scandinavian design has been minimalistic the past decades which is celebrated in DESCLA’s wristbands.

The founder of DESCLA, Gustav Frändfors uses an Ikepod Duopod Dots. Ikepod from Japan does perform top functionality and design. We share those values.

Gender neutral styles are interesting when making unisex watches.

The factory says: by the way, 34mm is a lady watch size. Mens watches usually from 38mm to 42mm for this kind of watch.

We believe a change when outstanding quality and design is presented in model 1 and 2.

Specification for model 1: a round stainless steel 35 mm case with scratch resistant glass, a northern light green or blue dial and automatic movement. Stainless steel band. Miyota 8215 automatic movement, three hands with date also sapphire glass, butterfly buckle, waterproof: 5 ATM.


Specification for model 2: a round stainless steel 35 mm case with scratch resistant glass, a stainless steel dial and automatic movement. Stainless steel band. Miyota 8215 automatic movement, three hands with date also sapphire glass, butterfly buckle, waterproof: 5 ATM.
