Finalization

Here it is: the last chapter of the X41 adventure before preorders are launched on March 12.

PROTOTYPES AND MEETINGS

The prototypes are in production and will be ready by the end of February. Of course, we’ll be taking plenty of beautiful photos and videos, but we’re also going to organize a number of events so that you can try out these marvelous creations in our company. We’ll let you know the locations and dates in the near future.

NUMBERED CREATOR EDITION

CODE41 is not a brand in the traditional sense of the term; it’s more of a community project. The aim
is to gather enthusiasts around a watchmaking project, to help it to become a reality. In the process,
said members become project Creators.

Supporting the X41 project through preorders grants you the following benefits:

  • Enjoy a launch price much lower than the future price
  • Become a Creator Member of the X41 project
  • Get a numbered piece marked CREATOR EDITION
  • Possibility to visit the workshops during production
  • Enjoy a special 3 year guarantee instead of the usual 2

AN INDUSTRY-LEADING PARTNER

Developing a fine manufacture movement isn’t something you can make up as you go along. The best expertise in this field is found in Switzerland, which is why we’ve called on one of the best creators in the country. Timeless Manufacture are distinctive in that they create all of the components used in their movements in-house, except for the balance wheel. This is a fact that deserves to be mentioned, because it’s not uncommon to find manufacture movements fitted with components from industrial movements. In addition, this self-sufficiency grants them complete control over quality and the time taken to acquire components.

TIMELESS MANUFACTURE IDENTITY CARD

  • Founded: 2008
  • Complete mastery of cutting-edge watchmaking expertise
  • High-precision manufacturing department based in Geneva (40 individuals)
  • Watchmaking workshop located in Jura (10 individuals)
  • In-house production of all components except for the balance wheel

NO RISK, ALL REWARDS

Special 3-year guarantee instead of the usual 2
Critical components optimized for reliability over several years
Repairs and servicing guaranteed by our partner even if we cease to exist

How reliable is the X41 movement?

Even though the X41 movement has been developed exclusively for our community, the critical components – the regulating organ, cylinder and wheel train – have been optimized for reliability over several years.

What is the guarantee?

Despite all of our tests, technical issues can still arise. However in such rare cases, our special 3-year guarantee ensures that your watch will be collected at our expense and repaired in the shortest time possible.

How can I have my watch serviced if CODE41 no longer exists in 5 years?

It’s true, we are a young brand, and the fear that we might simply have ceased to exist in a few years is absolutely relevant! However there’s nothing to worry about, as our partner Timeless Manufacture is committed to guaranteeing all repairs under guarantee and the maintenance of all X41 watches, even if we run into some misfortune.

    Bonjour
    Lors de la précommande, payons un acompte ou la totalité du prix de la X41?
    S’il s’agit d’acompte, quel est son montant?

      Bonjour,

      Lorsque vous choisissez le paiement en 3 fois, vous payez un acompte d’un tiers du montant de votre commande. Les 2eme et 3eme échéances seront échues respectivement 1 mois et 2 mois plus tard.

      Bonjour Sandrine,

      La montre est avant tout destinée aux hommes en raison de son format (42mm de diamètre) mais rien n’empêche une femme de la porter. Nous avons d’ores et déjà des clientes qui portent nos modèles actuels (Anomaly).
      Sachez par ailleurs que notre prochain projet concerne les montres femmes et que nous vous solliciterons pour avoir votre avis. Affaire à suivre dans les prochaines semaines.
      A bientôt

      Benajmin

    Bonjour, j’aimerais précommander. Comment faire ? Quand je suis les steps, je dois indiquer mon e-mail et « sign in « . C’est fait ! Et après ? S’il vous plaît, je ne veux pas rater ma x41. ?

    Très sincèrement, je trouve le boitier et le mouvement magnifique … Cependant je ne passerais pas à l’achat car le bracelet n’épouse pas la forme du boitier … et perso je trouve ça rédhibitoire pour une montre haut de gamme … après, augmenter l’étanchéité me parait aussi important … 5 ATM … C’est trop peu … mais je continue à suivre vos projets avec grand intérêt et n’hésiterait pas à passer commande dès que j’y trouverais mon bonheur … en espérant que vous teniez compte de mes remarques 🙂

    Mehr Transparenz ist wohl nicht möglich, diese ehrliche Offenlegung gefällt mir, das Skelett-Design zieht bestimmt viele Augenblicke auf sich.
    Mit exorbitanten Respekt!
