Ferro Watch 02

Ferro Watch 03

The quartz watch is driven by a Swiss Ronda 505 movement, while the mechanical version utilizes the Miyota 8215 automatic.  Both are 12 hour single handers, with a very thin hour hand to mark the time.  This will make it a bit easier to get close to the exact time, as the hand extends almost out to the index ring, which is marked in 5 minute increments.

The watch has already passed the funding threshold, so a pledge is a commitment to buy at this point.  As with all crowd funded projects, there is a risk, but the pricing and features do not seem out of line from what other projects are delivering.  Pledges (project page) from the quartz version are currently $139 CAD (~$120 USD), and $229 CAD ($190 USD) for the automatic.  ferrowatches.com

          1. This is a standard picture from software package. Our watches are assembled in Singapore.

  1. I ordered a Ferro car specific watch, Porsche 356. I paid full price in the early fall of 2018. The promo material indicated delivery holiday season 2018. My loving wife, said “Here is your Christmas present.”

    Today’s date is May 8, 2019.

    Several e-mail communications, stated delays due to manufacture difficulties.

    The last communication offered the buyers a $100 coupon, for ANOTHER purchase of another Ferro watch. I am old, but not stupid. I am not sure if I have ever been so insulted by a supplier. I have not gotten my first $500 + watch from them, and they are apologizing by wanting more of my money.
    Perhaps “I don’t get it”. See what I did there?
    Be aware of Ferro.
