We've put a part in to space. And one into your bum.

Literally.

The past few weeks, we've been involved in a project with an Aussie medical company which specializes in the design of surgical instruments. Naturally, we can not disclose much, except that we have successfully made parts for an instrument, which if approved, will save time and reduce pain. Previously, those parts were made overseas with 6 weeks of lead time. We can do it in three days, including delivery. And unlike watch dials, medical instruments do not need to be signed with the maker's name.

One more to share with you: last week we shipped our first NH3 to a customer in the US. On Monday, he called us to report that the watch is now stuck with US Customs. He asked for more information and was informed that "the export declaration has not been filled in correctly; it says 'manufactured in Australia' which is clearly a mistake". What a compliment!

Finally: I believe in fairness, so if you are saving your pennies for a Rebelde Control Tower, as of January 1 the price of this classic is going to be $2,800. This is the first price increase in years. I suggest that you snatch one before the end of this year at $2,500. Or, if you are not quite ready: we can make an exception and offer it on a 90 day frugal deal - four $625 instalments.

Rebelde Control Tower is a manual wind watch, 44m case size and 22mm between the lugs, in stainless steel. We've sold hundreds of them and they are well recognized for their reliability and robustness. Cheap as chips. Five years guarantee, free delivery.
