SUCCESSFUL NEW FRENCH BRAND | ATOM |

Post by Atwatches »

Good evening everyone,

My name is Xavier I launched my brand a few months ago with a friend. Our participative campaign put online on Kickstarter has been a success.

Our brand is Atom. A colorful watch assembled in Paris with a Swiss automatic mechanism ( ETA 2824-2).

Our desire is to offer a traditional watchmaking and modern design with an affordable price :mrgreen:

The case is 38 mm in diameter, made of 316L steel and has a polished finish. It includes a dark blue, red, black/grey or lagoon blue smoked dial. The dials be hold an anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

It will be a pleasure to read your opinion,

Xavier :)

A couple of comments...

Paris is "the city of light", world capital of glamour and luxury, and a city that many of us who have visited carry in our hearts (je dois y retourner un jour). I would refer to the origin of the brand. I would put a Paris on the dial below the mark, or a "Paris, France", below the '6, where the Swiss put the "swiss made", or Lip watches put a "Besançon, France". I'd even put up an " Assembled in Paris, France" in the caseback.

I would also put the page in English (and possibly German, Italian or Spanish) to attract international customers.

I get the page in either French or English (toggle in top right).

I guess if we have a watch brand that an amino acid, why not a Halogen?

Thank you a lot for your ideas !
We are working a new dial, we will take your ideas into consideration and test them on our samples :mrgreen:
