Method

How we work: the ACTE.5 process

  1. 01

    Brief & direction

    We define your brand, retail price, series size and movement.

  2. 02

    Design

    We present one or two design directions. You choose one, and we refine it over 2 to 4 revision rounds, depending on the project.

  3. 03

    3D & resin prototype

    Your watch is modelled in 3D and printed at full scale in resin during the design phase. You hold it, check the proportions, and we adjust before the technical file is finalised.

  4. 04

    Technical file

    Drawings and 3D files a factory can read and quote from, with a movement recommendation and, when the factory’s information allows it, a first indication of the cost per piece.

  5. 05

    Factory & samples

    We work with the factory, review its production drawings, answer its questions and check the physical samples.

  6. 06

    Pre-series validation

    Our support ends when the pre-series sample is validated.

SEE HOW WE WORK

Prototype path

Resin prototype → functional prototype → pre-series.

The resin prototype validates shape and proportions. The functional prototype is made by the factory, and we coordinate it. The pre-series sample confirms the watch is ready for production.

Factory choice

Your factory, or ours.

We work with a trusted network of manufacturers in Asia and Switzerland, and we travel to factories when the project needs it. If you already have a manufacturer, we work with them directly.

Your files

Your design, your files.

The design rights are transferred to you upon full payment. You receive the STEP files and the technical drawings, and you are free to produce with any manufacturer, now or later.

NOT ONLY ONE PRODUCT, BUT A FULL RANGE.

We design and manage complete watch collections, from creative concept and SKU architecture to launch storytelling, ensuring consistency, market impact, and brand coherence across every reference.
