Oscar, I hope you don’t mind me dropping.
Most people are quick to judge a watch by the price, most people will underestimate the time and effort that goes into such a creation and the sum of the parts (Top-Grade movement, ceramic lumed bezel, 2000WR and of course all that sexy machine work). I believe that our pricing is fair, we are not the cheapest nor we are not the most expensive. I refuse to cut corners and come out with a diver which is more affordable but not there quality wise. Our aim is not to make a quick buck but to bring killer designs that people will enjoy and something we can be proud of.
Yes we did have some issues with “made in swiss” and our website not launching when we said it would. You have to understand there are so many individual details that require your attention that it’s easy to overlook something. I’ve never heard of a business starting out that never had any issues. We do our best to resolve these issues and learn and make sure they never happen again.
With all that said, I’m very proud to say that everyone that’s had to fortunate experience to see the watch in person has all been pleasantly surprised by the quality. Oceanic times and DEMO both are very well regarded and respected in the forums and will be coming up with their own reviews with are totally unbiased.

Thanks for dropping in Ben!!! Please don't be a stranger!
It's actually very refreshing to see you drop in here and share your long term vision for the Tempest Watch brand. As you can see, I'm very smitten with the design and design elements of your Viking. Really love the level of machining I see in your case design, and it certainly seems like doing a high quality ceramic lumed bezel is not easy (in fact, it seems like it can be all to easy to have issues with the lume adhering in the long term if not done properly).
No doubt there is an extreme amount of hard work involved with launching a successful new watch venture, and no doubt not everything will go as planned...it sure seems like you are in this for all the right reasons and trying to strike a good balance between quality and price.
Thanks again for stopping in...
