Working codename · pre-launch
Built to work.
“Extreme-Use Watch Project” is a working codename — not the final brand. A real product in development, designed and built in Europe. We're not selling anything yet and no payment is taken. The official brand will be revealed before launch.
A European analogue extreme-use watch engineered for real-world use. Currently in advanced prototype phase — independent lab testing planned before launch.
Why this exists
It started with a €1,600 "extreme-use" watch that broke twice — in two drops of barely one metre.
So I decided to build one that actually survives, from scratch — with the engineering rigor of equipment that simply cannot fail.
The gap
1,300+
Watch brands analysed
Only one publishes an independent lab report — and only partial. None publishes the full test battery.
We will publish ours.
What makes it different
Proven in the lab — and published.
Every major performance claim will be verified by an independent laboratory. Full reports public before any payment is requested.
European chain.
Designed in Spain. Assembled in Europe. Material grades, supplier categories and origin disclosed before launch.
Double quality control.
Each unit inspected at the supplier, then re-inspected in-house. Two independent passes — no exceptions.
The watch
One tool. Built for the people who actually need it.

FAQ
Straight answers.
No. Extreme-Use Watch Project is a European pre-launch project in advanced prototype phase. The final commercial brand will be disclosed before the Kickstarter launch.
No. We are collecting early interest before commercial launch. No retail sales are active and no payments are being collected.
The project is under legal and intellectual property review. Final corporate, brand and supplier information will be disclosed before any sale or invoice.
Core materials and the testing roadmap won't change. Minor dimensional or component refinements (e.g. crown) may follow laboratory validation.
Not yet. Independent testing is planned following the public roadmap. Full reports will be published before any payment is requested.
Under €1,000 excluding applicable taxes. Final pricing will be confirmed at Kickstarter launch.
