What factors are related to the price of custom watches?

The pricing of Vdear custom watches is determined by a combination of core product attributes and customization-specific variables, with the following key factors playing a decisive role:

1．Materials of the watch case and dial: This is one of the primary determinants of the base price. Case materials range widely in cost: ordinary 316L stainless steel is the most economical option for everyday customization; mid-range choices include titanium alloy and ceramic; high-end selections involve precious metals such as rose gold, white gold, or even platinum, which will significantly elevate the overall price due to their inherent material value.
For dials, factors like material (e.g., mineral glass vs. sapphire crystal), decorative techniques (e.g., simple printing vs. hand-applied indices, guilloché engraving), and special elements (e.g., luminous coatings, diamond inlays) will also impact the pricing accordingly.

2．Movement grade: The movement is the "heart" of a watch, and its grade directly correlates with cost and performance. Basic mechanical movements are suitable for daily-use custom watches with standard timekeeping needs.; mid-to-high-end movements come with higher precision and craftsmanship, thus increasing the price; for top-tier custom requests, handcrafted movements or those with complex complications will lead to a substantial price premium.

3．Complexity of the customization process: The intricacy of your personalized requirements directly affects the production labor and time costs. Ordinary surface engraving is a cost-effective customization option. More sophisticated processes such as deep embossing, laser etching with gradient effects, cloisonné enamel inlay, or hand-engraved patterns require advanced equipment and skilled artisans, resulting in higher fees. Additionally, customizations involving multiple parts (e.g., simultaneous engraving on the case, dial, and buckle) or special color matching will also add to the overall price.

4．Customization quantity: Volume plays a critical role in unit price optimization, following the principle of "the larger the quantity, the lower the unit price".
