Introducing Olivier Watches & the Olivier Bronze Diver!

[poison]

I personally enjoy the triple date window. It's unusual.

Any updates on the Isofrane strap colors and price, Roland?

Hey Everyone!

Hope you are all having a great weekend. Very interesting discussion going on about the date windows, it was nice to read through some very good posts about why or why not they like them. I love the triple date because its unique, and I wanted the bronze diver to have its own unique personality, but know its not for everyone, and was happy to offer up the no date dial as an option as well.

Any updates on the Isofrane strap colors and price, Roland?

Ill be able to offer both the black and blue straps [woo hoo!]. Brown is not an option sadly, but thats where the brown leather strap comes into play!

Good evening Roland.. I wanted my #51 to look like I just pulled it off a 2 hundred year old shipwreck(after it gets some patina)so I choose No Date,IMHO it suits the Bronze case much better than the date wheel which (to me) screams MODERN WATCH... On another subject I haven't seen anyone ask you,did you sell off ALL your watches to run with the Bronze Diver or do you have a "Rotation"? Have a good evening...

use one counting series for ALL models - f.e. Armida - if you buy specific serial, you cant have that serial with next model of Armida. So newer models have higher serials.

I think you made the right choice then, the no date dial certainly makes the watch hard to date, it can be both modern or vintage!

One of the less glamorous effects about starting up your own watch company was definitely what happened to my collection ... past tense . I ended up selling some, and giving others away to friends and family. I felt like I was cheating my own brand not to wear one every day. Especially because every time you say "oh I've actually started my own watch brand" is always followed immediately by "Oh my that's so interesting, is that one of yours you have on?" Cant exactly say oh....um.....no, this is ....another brand.

It was very hard to say goodbye to the collection, but its definitely motivated me to come out with a lot of different designs, in a lot of different styles so that I can have a rotation while still repping my own brand!

(On Isofranes)....Ill be able to offer both the black and blue straps [woo hoo!]. Brown is not an option sadly, but thats where the brown leather strap comes into play!

This saddens me. I guess I'll just have to stake out an Aquadive owner!

May shipping date is definitelly better! Woow... I cant wait!

Regarding serials... IMHO I cant believe you are going to do that way... because it is the same model, just the movement is only one difference. Remember Halios Bluering - two kinds of movt, but just one counting 1-300. And many others....
In that case you are producing separate serials for each movement version, it is loosing individualistics and uniquees! I thought I cant meet a guy with the same watch and the same serial... who cares there is different movement inside - the watches will look the same and even with the same serials!

Just my 2 cents.

I am little disapointed about that but I am happy with olivier watch anyway! :)

I believe Halios ran the same set of serials for each dial color. I have #78 silver, and I think there is a 78 black and a 78 blue as well.

I am lazy to find that link about bluering here on WUS now... but check it... I am pretty sure there is just one series for ALL 300 pieces.
Anyway, it is probably too late to change casebacks serial number engraving.

But as I said, I am very happy there is new amazing watch brand - Olivier - and I also see Roland is very, very nice and smart guy. I hope to be closer to him to arrange a meeting :) and see those beauties in advance :)

Except all pros regarding his watch, Roland is also a fugleman and The speaker and I like the way how he speaks and writes :)

Any chance you can put some pics up of the blue vs black isofrane on the watch? Also, do the straps come with both the bronze buckle as well as an original SS Isofrane buckle, or are you ordering them without the clasp and just adding your own bronze to it?
