As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

SUCCESSFUL NEW FRENCH BRAND | ATOM |
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
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

Bon goût en matière de design. La montre est très belle. Félicitations!
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 guess if we have a watch brand that an amino acid, why not a Halogen?

We are working a new dial, we will take your ideas into consideration and test them on our samples
