Everything is going wonderfully with the production of the first 300 X41s scheduled for December. Our watchmakers are currently assembling the 297 components that make up this exceptional movement. Next, each watch will undergo a series of tests before being introduced to the wrists of your beloved owners. The lucky few who were among the first to order last March had the chance to visit the workshops and witness first-hand the machining and assembly of their X41 movement. How delightful.
Quintessential watchmaking
The creation of a high-end movement is quintessential for fans of fine mechanical watchmaking. Until now, that pleasure was reserved for only the most fortunate. For their second project, the CODE41 team has decided to change all of that!
What makes the X41 project so special?
- The chance to wear a piece of Fine Watchmaking at a price the competition can't match
- Limited edition movement designed, manufactured and assembled entirely in Switzerland
- Exclusive architecture and design just for the CODE41 community
- Exclusive peripheral oscillating weight only mastered by a handful of brands
- Launch price of less than 5,500€, whereas similar pieces cost 20,000€, and often much more
- Finished and assembled by hand. Pure watchmaking Art
X41 collection
What defines a high-end movement?
These are limited edition movements (around 50 to 1,000) made according to an exclusive design and architecture. The finishing and assembly are performed by hand. The time is generally displayed on the movement, without a dial, in order to showcase the magic of these mechanical sculptures.
X41-style fine-watchmaking
Little series : ~50 à 1,000/year
The finishing and assembly are performed by hand.
Advantages : Exceptional pieces, quintessential watchmaking, pure watchmaking art
Disadvantages : High cost ~1,000 à 2,500€
« Standard » manufacture
Methods of production are similar to industrial movements, but the various processes are handled by the brand. In some cases, they are simply modified industrial movement bases.
Production : ~10,000/year
Advantages : Exclusive movement
Disadvantages : High cost ~300 to 800€
Industrial
Automated Production : ~500,000/year
Advantages : Low cost ~30 à 150€
Disadvantages : Movement is used by a large number of brands
Exclusive peripheral oscillating weight
The peripheral weight fitted to the X41 movement is a symbol of the genuine technical feats achieved by only a handful of brands. Many big-name brands have already attempted to integrate such a feature, often only to abandon it because the ball bearing was too loud, inefficient and costly to implement. In the case of the X41 movement, after several years of development, these problems have been resolved by the brand’s partner by machining the components of the ball bearing in-house, in order to guarantee perfect dimensions and finishing.
Reduction in movement thickness
More transparency to showcase the mechanical beauty
A technical feat achieved by only a handful of brands
X41 Peripheral oscillating weight
Standard oscillating weight
Numbered edition
The complexity of the X41 movement, namely the fact that a large number of the processes are performed by hand, means a fairly long production period. That's why X41 watches are only produced in small, numbered series. Don't miss your chance to pre-order one of the few EDITION 3 pieces.No risk, all rewards
Special 3-year guarantee instead of the usual 2
In the event of technical issues, your watch will be collected at our cost, and repaired as quickly as possible.
Critical components optimized for reliability over several years
Even though the X41 movement has been developed exclusively for our community, the critical components have been optimized for reliability over several years.
Servicing guaranteed even if we cease to exist
We are a young brand, and the fear that we might simply have ceased to exist in a few years is relevant! But don't worry, our partner is committed to guaranteeing all repairs and servicing, even if we run into some misfortune.
30-day returns policy
If the X41 doesn't suit you, you have 30 days to return it for free, unused and in its original packaging.
Free cancellation policy
As long as your order has not yet been dispatched, you can cancel it for free at any time.
The X41 watch is more than Swiss Made
For a watch to be Swiss Made, at least 60% of its value must come from Switzerland. The figure for the X41 project is 90%, easily exceeding this requirement. Such a high quantity of Swiss components is very rare! However, the X41 watches will bear no mention of being Swiss Made, as CODE41 has been opposed to this misleading label since the very start.
The X41 project offers unbeatable value and magic for money.
Total transparency
With our TTO label, standing for Total Transparency on Origin, we've based our approach around being transparent. We clearly explain the origin and cost of each component and each process.| COMPONENT / PROCESS | COST | ORIGIN |
|---|---|---|
| MOVEMENT | 1,620 CHF / 1,435 € | SWISS |
| TITANIUM CASE, TRANSPARENT BACK | 145 CHF / 128 € | CHINA |
| LEATHER STRAP, DEPLOYMENT CLASP | 30 CHF / 26 € | ITALY/CHINA |
| ASSEMBLY | 30 CHF / 26 € | SWISS |
| PACKAGING | 25 CHF / 22 € | CHINA |
| TOTAL exVAT | 1,850 CHF / 1,637 € | |
What's the secret behind such a high price/quality/magic ratio?
Fine watchmaking is inextricably associated with the world of luxury. The latter is a synonym for inaccessibility, social standing and even ostentation. These subjective criteria have the unfortunate tendency to propel prices to artificially high levels. For the X41 project we are focused on objective values, like high quality and superior expertise. The production costs and margins allowing the project to be profitable are clearly explained. Direct distribution, minimal markups and transparency on costs are all criteria that allow us to offer the X41 at a price that the competition just can't match.
The retail price is not the result of market positioning, but rather a direct reflection of the costs of production
Competition with the big brands
Some of you have made the very relevant comment that at these prices, we're going to find ourselves competing with the big brands. If your heart is set on a more prestigious name in the same price range, clearly we won't be able to compete with that. But if your attention is drawn above all to the object and its mechanics, then the X41 project offers unbeatable value and magic for money.

Frequently asked questions
What are the conditions for cancellation and returns?
As long as your order has not yet been dispatched, you can cancel it free of charge, or modify your choice of strap (according to availability). For Edition 3, it is only possible to change the color of the bridges and/or hands until January 30 2020. After delivery, you will have 30 days to return your order for free, unused and in its original packaging, in order to receive a full refund.
Do I have to pay import taxes upon receipt of my watch?
No. We've implemented a system in our cart that allows us to calculate and pay your country's respective customs duties and VAT. This means you won't have to pay anything upon receipt of your watch.
Are the X41 movements COSC certified?
No. All of our X41 movements are tested individually by our watchmakers in 5 different positions, and precisely adjusted according to criteria similar to the COSC. In addition, this certification would require us to increase the retail price by several hundred euros, without providing any real added value.
Why has the price gone up since the first pre-orders in March?
CODE41 isn't a brand in the traditional sense of the term, it's more of a community project. The aim is to bring enthusiasts together around a watchmaking project in order to make it a reality. Production isn't launched until a minimum number of members are supporting the project. To say thanks to these people, we offer them a launch price that just allows us to cover our costs, with no profit. The following series are offered at a "normal" price, though this price remains much, much lower than that of similar pieces.

Vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse! Das Uhrwerk der X41 wird in den Schweiz hergestellt. Die beste Expertise besitzen nach wie vor die Uhrmacher der Schweiz. Das hat uns dazu veranlasst, einen der Besten des Landes um Hilfe zu beten. Timeless Manufacture unterscheidet sich insofern von der Konkurrenz, als dass sämtliche Komponenten der Uhrwerke (bis auf die Unruh) selbst hergestellt werden. Das sollte nicht unerwähnt bleiben, da viele Manufaktur-Uhrwerke auf Komponenten zurückgreifen, die auch in industriell hergestellten Uhrwerken Anwendung finden.
