We have been busy. June saw 10 watches produced and so far in July we have 30....all mechanicals. Mostly Skeletons.... HENRY
The ETA 6497s arrived and here is the first one mounted in a Solid Watch case. The challenges ahead include mounting the sapphire crystals, hands and the crown bearings...... This is such a great project.........
Welcome to HenryWatch.com....
This is the result of the response to the Kickstarter project that ended in August of 2011. I am setting up a shop to make the watches in the San Francisco Bay area.
You may reach me by phone 415-806-3466 with any questions....
Here is the time line so far......
August 29th...My Kickstarter project was funded August 29th.
Sept. 22nd....The funds arrived in my bank account.
The stainless steel has all been purchased, cut and water jetted.
Machines were ordered and delivered in the last 2 weeks which is very quick.......
The mill and lathe are all installed and hooked up to 3 phase power.
Training for the lathe has occurred.
First parts cut and I am not happy so new cutting tools,holders and boring bars are ordered.
The 6497 is scanned and a CAD model built to be able to modify for custom designed skeletons....
Nov. 1 Full production of the first cases starts.........
Nov. 8 Experimental Skeleton is cut..... photos up this weekend....
Nov. 27 48mm NonWatches are complete and shipping begins.
Dec. 14 48mm Skeleton are in development.
Dec. 28 The Skeleton movement will have its final (I hope) cut today. Check back for photos...
April 4 The first Skeleton watch is delivered to a local engineer. Test is almost done..
