After a year of hard work, design & development, we are back ! This is our third fund-raising campaign, each new campaign gave us a chance to improve and upgrade the design and the technology. The success came from our backers from over 50 countries and the media who talked about us: 

 

  

Brand story of Griffin Emblem includes two parts: The Lion-Griffin and the Treasure. Griffin was not only perceived as the King of mythical creatures, but also as a symbol of the protector of a treasure. The diamond beneath the Griffin’s foot in the logo is just the symbol of each well-designed accessory on the wrist. The word "emblem" is a reference to the treasure.

 

 

 

 

We wanted to bring to the world high quality, automatic watches at an affordable price. After 3 successful campaigns on Indiegogo and thousand of happy backers, we decided to launch a third collection of higher specifications and quality automatic watches. We improved the design, technology, some features, and also proposed our best design selection in more colors.

We have the prototypes and everything else. The only thing missing is your support to launch the production !
 
 

 

For the backers who were involved in our previous collections, they know already that GRIFFIN EMBLEM is a synonym of quality, but for the new visitors, you can find our specifications below. Our last two collections helped us to understand more of your needs, so we decided to upgrade the design and technology. (For example: multilayer dials design, natural Ruby gemstones, detailing index, stainless steel reflector ring, better 3D effect of the logo, etc.). We are also bringing back the nice 42mm case as well and a genuine leather strap. Having a watch made by GRIFFIN EMBLEM means:  

 

• Best material selection & Top quality automatic watches

• Really affordable with a great quality-price ratio compared to the same specifications and quality products worldwide

• No battery needed

• A design that can go with professional and casual style

• Unisex

Each models will be limited in 100 pieces,  it will come with a unique serial number engraved on the back. 

We also bring back the customization of the metal plate, which allows you to customize your watch with a little message (see the pictures after the watches!)

 

To order your watch, just click on the picture of the watch you want , you can then fill your information and pay your perk :)

The Exhibition Back

The exhibition back lets you discover the beautiful movement of your automatic watch. You can also find a lot of information on the case back, such as your model, the brand, the name of the movement and also your serial number (000/100).

 

The Mechanical Automatic Movement

All GRIFFIN EMBLEM watches use the Japanese MIYOTA 82S series mechanical automatic movement— with exquisite workmanship, this movement series is held to very high quality standards. Both the material selection and assembling technicians have a good reputation. The 82S series, which was selected by GRIFFIN EMBLEM, was one of its masterpieces. The fantastic hollowed out and naked pendulum design utilizes intricate carvings and shows off the manufacturing process—this makes the series’ movements perfect in functionality and beautiful in appearance.

 

 The 316L Stainless Steel

All GRIFFIN EMBLEM watches are made of 316L stainless steel, which comes from the United States. It is the standard steel number of the "ASTM: American Society for Testing and Material." Its corrosion resistance is remarkably strong and the texture is of high quality as well. L means low carbon. It has little impact on human skin and it is the only option for an advanced watch. The designers of GRIFFIN EMBLEM treat watches as artwork, and because of this choose only sophisticated Japanese mechanical movements to put within these pieces. We also focus on the process of polishing; the advanced technology of frosting and polishing makes the polish and texture of the watch fine and clear, and from there a strong three-dimensional appearance is formed.

 

 

The Leather Packaging

All watches come with an elegant leather packaging. The package contains all the tools you’ll need to get your watch ready to wear in just a few seconds. This nice box has perfect dimensions and will fit perfectly into your drawer, your briefcase, or your purse.

 

 

 

The Sapphire Crystal

The glass of Griffin Emblem Watches are made of Sapphire crystal, which is the most expensive type of crystal for watches and is three times harder than mineral crystal. It is made of an extremely durable synthetic material that makes it shatterproof and scratch resistant (not scratch proof). It also has a non-reflective film to prevent glare.

 

The Setting Of Zirconia Stone

RGS105 (2 Year Anniversary Limited Edition) have "200" pcs of zirconia stones. These stones are mounted using both claw setting and channel setting very carefully, which are professional setting techniques for making engagement rings or other luxury jewelry
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The High Quality Leather Strap (with Quick-Release Pins)

Each GRIFFIN EMBLEM watch is equipped with an advanced leather strap, allowing you to not only appreciate its intricate craft, but also enjoy the comfortable feeling. This leather will last for ages and is very comfortable to wear. Each strap also has what we call "quick release pins," so you can now change your strap in just a few seconds without any tools!

The DIY Metal Plate

 

With your watch, you will receive a blank metal plate. If you’d like to customize it, you can add the “Customization” perk to your order. If you choose to customize your metal plate with text, you will receive TWO metal plates: a blank one and an engraved one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

The stretch goals are a way to upgrade our product thanks to your contributions. If we reach a definite amount of money, we can make our watches better. This is our first stretch goal. We also want you to tell us what stretch goals you are looking for as well!

We are ready to offer you customization for your watch in exchange for you helping us spread the word. When you share our project using the share button, it creates a special link only for you. With this link, we will be able to track the number of visits and sales you are bringing to our project.

STEP 1: You need to be logged in your account on Indiegogo. If you do not have an account, you can create one for free via Facebook Connect in around 20 seconds.

STEP 2: Go on our project and click on the buttons to share it. You can use Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and send the project by email to friends.

STEP 3: If someone buys a watch thanks to you, you will get a metal plate customized for FREE .
 

If we do not succeed in reaching the minimum amount of $ 15,000 for launching the products, you will be refunded. The only big risk is a delay in production. We are working with the best factories, but even if we are a brand, we are also customers, so we are dependent on the factories. We know there are a lot of attractive projects out there- this is not our first ride and we hope that you will help us for a third time.

 

1 - How do I buy?

2 ways:
1/ On the right side of the campaign, you can see the price of each model. You need to click on the model you want to order. Each watch: has a reference (RG1008-1 for example). Check the pictures to see the reference of the particular watch you are looking at.
2/ By clicking directly on the picture of the watch , it will redirect you to fill your information and then proceed to the payment. You can pay with Paypal (safest way to pay online)

 1a - How do I choose my watch / strap after I buy a contribution?
Please write a comment to tell us the model (s) you want.
2 - When will I receive my watch?
 

We will do our best to start shipments in September/October 2016.This may vary depending on your localization.

(Delivery time of rewards / perks are subject to best efforts and are not guaranteed.)

 3 - Do you ship worldwide and how much does it cost?
We ship worldwide and the shipping is free.
4 - Are there any extra fees?
Our products are manufactured and assembled in Hong Kong, in the best factories we could find. We have to ship from there, and because of this, the customs in your country may stop your package and tax it around 15%. In our experience, around 5 to 10% of our contributors had to pay customs fees. We are already offering free shipping and the customs are different in each country so we  can not  refund you the customs fees.
5 - I just bought a watch, and I regret doing so. Can you refund me  ? 
Regarding to the terms of Indiegogo, we cannot refund you. When you make a contribution to our project, we use the money to pay commissions to both Indiegogo and Paypal, and of course for the manufacture of the watch you preorder. We launch the production of the watch  because  you bought it. If you help us with a contribution, be sure you want it, because we will not refund you (unless the project fails). ( Terms of Indiegogo )
6 - I have another question. How can I reach you?
The easiest way to contact us is by commenting on the project, or sending us an email at alain.recuze@gmail.com. We will answer you within 48 hours. If you do not receive an answer, feel free to write to us again reminding us to answer you. We may be busy, or we simply may have forgotten about it, after all- we are only humans.

Après un an de travail, de design et d'amélioration nous sommes de retour ! C'est notre troisième campagne de financement participatif, chaque projet nous a permis  d'apprendre et d'optimiser notre technologie. Le succès de nos projets viennent de nos contributeurs de plus de 50 pays , et des médias qui ont parlés de nous :

 

 

 

L'histoire de la marque Griffin Emblem se compose de deux éléments . Le Griffon (lion-griffon) et son trésor . Le Griffon n'était pas seulement perçu comme l'un des rois des créatures mythologiques mais également comme le gardien et protecteur de trésors. Le diamant sous la patte du Griffon est le symbole de nos excellents accessoires liés au poignet. Le mot "Emblem" fait ici référence au trésor.

 

 

Nous souhaitions apporter au monde des montres élégantes, automatiques et de très bonne qualité, à un prix accessible a tous; c'est pourquoi nous avons lancé notre premier projet en Novembre 2014 via Indiegogo. Cette premiere campagne a été une veritable experience, notre rêve a vu le jour grace a tous nos contributeurs, et tout le soutien a permis d'amener notre tout premier projet à 576% de notre objectif avec 364 contributeurs. Notre projet a été inséré dans la newsletter d'Indiegogo et nous avons également fait la page d'accueil du site durant plusieurs jours.  Nous espérons recevoir autant de soutien de votre part.

L’arrière du boitier

L’arrière du boitier dispose également d'un design dit Squlette pour vous laisser admirer la beauté du mouvement de votre montre automatique. On peut également y voir de nombreuses informations comme la marque, le numéro de série gravé (pour les 100 premieres pièces de chaque modèle), le mouvement et la référence du modèle.

 
Le mouvement
Toutes les montres GRIFFIN EMBLEM utilisent la série japonaise Miyota 82S de mouvements mécaniques automatiques, une execution exquise et supervisée par des normes de haute qualité. Ce mouvement dispose d'une très bonne reputation, a la fois sur le choix des matériaux mais aussi sur son assemblage. La serie 82S est l'une des plus belles oeuvres de Miyota (Citizen). Sa conception est faite de sculptures complexes. La presence de rubis expose de façon élégante son processus de fabrication et renforce également son degré de qualité. Les rubis réduisent les frottements au sein du mécanisme et améliore donc sa longévité. Cet ensemble donne de très beaux mouvements.
 
L'acier
Toutes les montres GRIFFIN EMBLEM sont faites d'acier inoxydable 316L. 316L est une reference destinée a l'acier, aux Etat-Unis. La reference 316 provient de la societe "ASTM, American Society for Testing and Material". Sa capacité de resistance a la corrosion est très forte et la texture de celui-ci est aussi tres bonne. L signifie Low carbon. Il aura donc peu d'impact sur la peau humaine et il est l'une des meilleures options disponible pour les montres complexes. Les designers de GRIFFIN EMBLEM  considèrent les montres comme des oeuvres d'art, en plus de choisir un mouvement mécanique japonais sophistique, ils mettent également l'accent sur le processus du vernissage, sur sa technologie de pointe de givre et de polissage, ce qui rend la texture de la montre claire, qui lui permet un fort aspect tridimensionnel.

 
 
Le packaging de la montre
Chaque montre sera livrée avec un packaging elegant et unique. Sa petite taille vous permet de le ranger facilement dans votre tiroir, votre valise ou pourquoi pas votre sac a main. Chaque coffret est compose du cadran de la montre, son bracelet, la plaque de metal et ses accessoires, ainsi qu'un manuel d'instructions a lire avant utilisation de la montre.

 

 

Le verre saphir 

Chaque montre GRIFFIN EMBLEM est équipée d'un verre en saphir, très résistant.

 

 

Les Pierres Zircone

RGS105 (Edition Limitée pour les 2 ans) contient "200" pieces de pierre Zircone. Ces dernières sont en serti griffes, ces pierres ne vous feront pas défauts

 

 

Le bracelet (avec ouverture facile)

Chacune des montres GRIFFIN EMBLEM est équipée d'un bracelet en cuir de qualité, ce qui vous permet non seulement d’apprécier son artisanat complexe, mais aussi de profiter de la sensation de confort de celui-ci. Chaque bracelet est très confortable et durera dans le temps. De plus, chaque bracelet est équipé d'une "ouverture facile", qui vous permet de changer de bracelet en quelques secondes seulement ! (voir video plus bas)

 

 

 

 

La plaque de metal personnalisable

Chaque montre Griffin Emblem est composée d'une petite plaque métallique sur le côté de la montre. Cette plaque est avant tout un choix esthétique mais peut également être personnalisée. Si vous faites le choix d'acheter la contrepartie "Customization" votre montre sera livrée avec deux plaques, l'originale "vierge" et la seconde gravée avec votre message (limite a 10 caractères). Les vis et le tournevis sont bien entendu fournis avec votre montre. La plaque est de couleur argent sur chaque modèle.

 

  

 

 

 

Notre objectif est de récolter 15 000$ , cependant si nous dépassons ce montant nous mettrons en place des paliers de financement. Ces paliers nous permettent d’améliorer les montres de façon significative. Le premier objectif est situé a 30 000$ et permettra d'obtenir des aiguilles luminescente de meilleur qualité, ainsi que des vis de rechange pour la plaque de métal. Dites nous par commentaire toutes vos idées sur les améliorations possibles pour le palier suivant.
