Modern Fliegeruhr - Aviator Update

Hello!

Just in case you're wondering development status of our Aviator, here is the brief update. We're currently busy machining the cases and parts for the watch. Manufacturing a quality timepiece takes a lot of processes and therefore it takes quite some time. Although
our target release date is end of November or latest before Xmas, there are times when we simply have to fine-tune parts to ensure quality. Unforeseen delays that occur in the production of fine timepieces are common. Nonetheless, we will keep you informed of production / delivery status. When all is ready, we will make the announcement with pictures.

Kind regards,
Praesto Watch Team

Praesto's on review again

Today, we're pleased to see another great review on us by aBlogtoRead.com, one of the most popular blog sites for timepiece reviews and news source. The statement "But the Chinese have been making watches, and watch parts for years" is very true. This has been the case for decades! Nowadays, times change. While we enjoy producing timepieces for other brands, it's certainly more "fun", exciting if we can make our own brand. That's why we started our own brand - Praesto.

[ Praesto is a latin word, meaning "to be outstanding, to surpass, to excell". ]

We certainly are aware that many people would think a Chinese brand is inferior (in terms of design and craftsmanship) to brands originating from the West. Well, maybe. Maybe not, depending on which brand. As for Praesto, we're changing that perception. :-)

"I think it is actually funny. To see a modern Chinese watch with an old sounding German name. The timepiece design is actually American." True, and we think it's a unique blend. Our target market is the American and European markets. This is why we gladly collaborate with watch designers and collectors from these two markets on design ideas at Watch and Clock Forum. Their ideas become our directions in designing and producing our next great timepieces!

Here is another nice review by Hodinkee.

Problems viewing our site ?

It seems a number of people who said they could not see our site properly on the browser they are using or did not see where to pre-order. We wonder if you're using the IE browser. We found out that IE does not seem to display our pages properly. :-( It seems it would take a couple of reloads to get the rendered HTML codes straight and work properly in IE.

If you use Firefox 3.0+, there should not be a problem viewing our site.

If you have problems making your pre-order, an alternative way is for you to email us:

- which watch you like
- your email address
- your shipping address
- your real full name
- your phone number

We can key in the details for you as every order must be recorded in system for easy management. Currently, no payment is necessary yet until the watch is ready for shipment.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if the above describes you.

Thank you!

Praesto Watch Team
