The Beating Heart of Our Watches: Why We Use Chinese Movements (and Why That’s a Good Thing)

Let’s talk about what’s inside our watches — the part you don’t always see, but definitely feel.

You’ve probably heard this question tossed around:
“Wait… what movement do you use?”
Fair. That’s like asking what engine’s under the hood. And we’re not shy about it.

🛠️ We Use Honest, Workhorse Movements from China

Our watches are powered by tried-and-tested mechanical movements from the likes of DG and Hangzhou — veteran manufacturers from China that have been making watch movements for decades.

These are the same movements quietly used by a ton of international microbrands. But instead of sweeping that fact under the rug, we’re laying it on the table like a well-dealt hand.

Why? Because they work. And they’ve stood the test of time (pun fully intended).

⏱️ What Does That Mean for Accuracy?

Glad you asked. The movements we use are regulated to ±25 seconds per day. That means your watch may run just a little fast or a little slow — but never in a way that’ll make you miss lunch or a flight.

Think of it as a charming quirk of mechanical watchmaking — one that makes every tick a little more personal.

We also do our own testing and fine-tuning to make sure what goes on your wrist isn’t just good, but our kind of good.

🤔 “But Why Not Swiss or Japanese?”

Ah, the golden question.

Yes, Swiss and Japanese movements are great. We respect them deeply. But here’s the thing:
Using them would add ₹5,000–₹10,000 to your price tag. And frankly, we’d rather put that into better case finishing, cooler dials, or something bold that sparks conversation.

Plus, these Chinese movements? They’re no slouch. They’re dependable, serviceable, and let us do what we love — build beautifully designed mechanical watches without charging you a month’s rent.

🎯 Our Promise: No Pretending, No Prestige Games

We didn’t start this brand to impress Swiss purists. We started it to make watches that feel good, look great, and tell stories — powered by movements we genuinely trust. We started it to democratize automatic watches and make them accessible.

Mechanical watches aren’t meant to sit in safes. They’re meant to live — to tick through coffee runs, train rides, road trips, and random rooftop hangouts. And these movements? They’re totally up for it. 

We put our money where our mouth is- any trouble and we've got your back. We offer a 2 years no-questions-asked warranty AND we offer one free service till 2 years after you buy your watch. TBH, even after that, reach out and we'll hook you up!
