Anyone purchased a Code41 watch before?

@Archer, you are reading too much into the assembly labor cost. The watches are assembled in a Chinese factory where all the workers are names "Swiss". It actually takes 1,427 hours to assemble each, thus the $43 cost.

Ooh...you are going to give our resident Code41 fan here an ulcer...

😁

On a different but related note, CODE41 have exceeded yesterday 5 mioCHF in preorders for the NB24 chronograph. 1'336 pieces (out of a total of 1'500 pieces) have been preordered so far. This is the most successful new project for CODE41. Congrats to them 😉

I like the esthetics of my $40 Casio G-Shock better. More legible, too.

But I also like black licorice.

YMMV

Indeed, congrats to them - the cringe scale needs to be recalibrated after this!
So I just looked at this (thanks for linking it btw) and I have to say this is one of the most cringe and unnecesary sections i've ever seen on a website, who are they trying to impress with these "quirky" gifs ?
Who is the target audience for this ?
🤦

And useless-- no job titles or indication of what they do there. However, I did learn that Audrey dislikes mayo.

Too bad she doesn't share her opinion on Miracle Whip

It doesn't. But if I compare this even to a small brand like Nomos, their customer service is very different. In fact I just ordered a large batch of spare parts from them that should be here tomorrow - few days after first contacting them to place my order. Note that some of their watches are far less pricey than this current offering from Code41 is.

Just to follow up on this, after some delays due to many parts of the US not handling snow very well, my Nomos parts arrived today...



So in contrast to a micro-brand who won't let anyone buy parts for their watches, Nomos is easy to work with. It's part of the reason my wife and I both own a Nomos, but we'll never own a Code41...

An “interesting” and eclectic team for sure which I would love to be a part of 😉

Angling for a job - now this all makes more sense...

Truly admirable, wish all brands were like this !

"Claudio set his sights on a new venture that would create watches of the highest quality with the help of an engaged community of timepiece enthusiasts who could play an active role in the design process"

I think we can all guess the direction Nigel's future posts will be taking ... ::stirthepot::
