I am new to the Forum, I have always had a passion for watches and now I am trying to create my own watch brand. I take inspiration from the Atlantic Worldmaster brand. I have always love the ETA movements due to their reliability. My watch brand will be called Carpathia and I am now in the beginning stages of design. I am an excellent Illustrator and Designer so I am sketching out the designs etc. I will later be looking for manufacturers that do custom work to create all necessary components such as dial with raised logo , custom case and engraved caseback with see throuh caseback such as tissot visodate, custom hands, custom crown . I will be creating my watch around the ETA 2836-2 automatic day date movement. I have done a lot of browsing and have found a lot of helpful threads on micro brands.
I would appreciate any additional information anyone has. Currently I have designed my logo and I am now beginning a design for my dial. Along with that I will work on a story for my brand. There is meaning behind my name which relates to the Carpathian Mountains in Europe also know as the Tatry in Poland which is where my family is from.
Here are my beginning stages of development.
