Airain Type 20 Re-Edition prototype evaluation and production progress
After thoroughly evaluating the prototypes and determining all changes, we are at the point where we can actually start production. All revised technical drawings have been approved. Most changes were just minor but they were on all fronts; deeper snails on the dial, finishing of the case including the pushers and crown, changes to the bezel, hands, straps and even the buckle. So why so thorough? Because we want the final product to be exactly as we imagined it but also because with these first models we are laying the foundation for future releases.

How does it go from here? Now that the all technical drawings have been approved, we have a final product and all the components are officially ordered. It won’t be long until we will have all the delivery times and we will know when the assembly can take place and of course final delivery.
Throughout the process of changes and improvements, we have noticed that suppliers are under a lot of pressure from all the different brands that want to catch up with their production after downsizing during covid-19. This also means that lead times of components are much longer than normal. Of course, we are doing everything we can to keep the momentum going. Stay with us, we’re almost there!
