"No Rebelde Day mentioned in the newsletter? I'm wearing my V Pilot in celebration anyway!"
Matthew Spokes
We have failed you Matt. Miserably. Or, more precisely: it is all my
fault. Don't know about you, but it feels that we are completely losing
'control' of time. The time is simply spinning, and a five day working
week feels nowadays more like a 3 day blur. This is what happens when
demand for your products and services has exceeded your manpower
capabilities.
The Rebelde Day was always celebrated actively - we pause for a moment
to thank Rolex for that infamous ban on the supply of spare parts to
independent watchmakers; which in turn, was a massive wake-up call to
rebel and reclaim watchmaking. As they say, the rest is history. Today,
we run a multi-million dollar manufacturing facility which not only
makes parts for watches but for medical and space technologies, and also
for scientific applications.
Again: thank you Rolex, and thank you Swiss brands. Thanks to that
mighty kick in the bum, there are now over 1000 Rebelde and NH watches
out there, keeping perfect time and proudly worn by 1000 ambassadors.
The very basic concept of a reliable, robust and repairable watch - the
very DNA of what we stand for - has proven itself in a way that would be
hard to imagine 10 years ago. And we are barely scratching the surface:
our time is yet to come. I am sure many of you vividly remember our
humble beginning, and for you too, it must feel like it was yesterday.
We celebrate, we continue to rebel, thanking YOU for your wonderful and unselfish support. | |
