How long does it take to customize a watch?
The timeline for custom watch production depends on the complexity of your requirements, with two main cycles:
Standard customization cycle: 40 working days
Complex customization cycle (e.g., intricate pattern engraving, rare material sourcing): 60 working days
The specific time will be notified after order confirmation.
This timeline aligns with our rigorous OEM/ODM production process (designed to ensure high quality), which includes 12 detailed steps:
①Design Watch: Finalize your custom style and confirm the overall design.
②Make Drawings: Create precise technical drawings for all components (case, dial, strap) to guide production.
③CNC Case: Fabricate the watch case using CNC equipment to shape the base structure.
④Polished Case: Polish the case to achieve the desired surface finish.
⑤Dust-Free Workshop: Move production to the dust-free environment to prepare for precision assembly.
⑥Movement Test: Calibrate and test the selected movement for accuracy and stability.
⑦Assembly Dial And Movt: Assemble the dial and movement in the dust-free workshop to avoid contamination.
⑧Assembly Hand: Attach the watch hands (hour, minute, second) with precise alignment.
⑨Assembly Watch: Combine all components (case, dial, movement, strap) into a complete watch.
⑩Outlook QC: Inspect the watch’s appearance for quality compliance.
⑪Waterproof Test: Conduct pressure tests (5-20 ATM) to verify water resistance performance.
⑫Packing: Package the finished watch in your chosen custom packaging.
For complex customizations (e.g., rare materials, intricate patterns), additional time is needed for precision processing (e.g., detailed engraving) and material verification. The exact timeline will be confirmed and updated to you (via images/videos) after your order is locked in.
