After releasing photos of five sets of
timascus parts earlier this week, Josh has been approached by two major
players in the Swiss watch industry with a request for a meeting. The
main focus of their interest cannot be disclosed, but we are talking
about a very specific colour and very specific machining processes.
Right now we can only speculate where we are heading, but whatever the
offer may be: we are not interested.
>From the way I see it: our timascus project is getting too hot, too
soon, generating premature and unwanted interest. Our time is yet to
come so no need to rush. However, from now on there will be no more
Instagram photos of coloured timascus parts and processes - completed
watches only.
Our timascus supplier has told us that we are not the first watchmaker
who has ordered titanium alloy, and that they are getting enquiries from
the watch industry all the time. "You are the only one crazy enough to
actually machine watch parts out of it" - they say laughing. Which is a
fantastic position to be in: if the timascus takes off and a major watch
brand enters the market, we can always claim that important bit of the
fame: we've been there first. And if timascus remains obscure, then our
watch owners will be the winners- the only one with a unique and very
special watch.
