The
idea
The idea of FELDO
wrist watches arises from a first drawing. This first
drawing is improved by hand up to get the final drawing of our wrist
watches. This process is carried out by experienced engineers.
You can be sure that FELDO wrist watches has been finely produced and
designed from the beginning so you will receive the perfect wrist watch.
Only the Know-How protection can ensure that
FELDO wrist watches are
unique, so this is important in order to avoid imitations.
This protection should be carried out as soon as possible, no matter how
late it is scheduled to be in the market. Firstly there is a protection
in
Switzerland, then in Europe and later worldwide.. |

Elaboration of the project
At this stage, FELDO determines the materials needed for its wrist
watches (materials, colours, design elements…). The success of
FELDO
lies in the combination of colours, materials, etc... which makes these
writs watches to highlight among competition.
From a technical point of view, the viability is an important factor to
take into consideration within the project elaboration stage. At this
phase, the elements to be used are under revision, taking into account
elements such as: stability, strength, degradation, measurements, etc
...
Therefore, its also very important the
collaboration of international
suppliers who provide to FELDO with the necessary materials and whose
experience has a significant influence on the development of
wrist
watches. |

The
prototype
The wrist watches prototype is a device identical to the final
object.
Therefore, it is similar both externally and mechanically to the final
wrist watches. This prototype is also used as a preparation for a series
production.
Wrist watches are formed by a case, a crown, a dial, some figures, a
strip, a pin, a glass, some hands and also the watch mechanism. All
these elements have been created as unique elements.
Such jobs require the highest concentration of all the participants.
Therefore, a goldsmith can spend even 8 hours for the preparation of
some brass figures.
Within the technical properties, it is also very important the creation
of a prototype to check the optics and technology provided by
FELDO.
At the end of the stage, every prototype is tested in a test phase.

The
test phase
At the
test phase the optical correction,
comfort, impermeability as
well as accuracy of wrist watches are tested.
This process takes several days and wrist watches are subjected to harsh
laboratory tests to check that these
luxury items are the perfect
accessories. |

A
mini-series production
After all the prototype details have been tested and its failures have
been improved, a mini-series production starts. For FELDO a mass
production means a mini-series production giving priority to the
handicraft skills above all.
All this makes FELDO wrist
watches be exclusive and only few people in
the world will be able to wear original FELDO wrist watches.
The
mini-series production is performed with an exhaustive control and
wrist watches are tested again by a final inspector. Any minor fault or
variation is discarded.
Wrist watches can be restored to the required state thanks to a manual
reparation or they are again removed and discarded. You, as the
customer, will always receive only the highest quality wrist watches.. |

Previous to the
manufacturing of
FELDO wrist watches, a prototype must be created. This
prototype is identical to the finally developed wrist watches. So, you
will be able to check and to draw up your own conclusions before
throwing them on the market.
In the
prototype, all kind of tests are carried out such as resistance,
comfort and liability tests in order to ensure the client’s satisfaction
at purchasing one of our wrist watches. After performing all the
necessary tests to the wrist watches, a mini series production starts,
due to the fact that FELDO does not produce massively but its wrist
watches are exclusive.
FELDO wrist watches are manufactured with the best quality material is in
the market, so when you acquire FELDO wrist watches you are purchasing
not only an exclusive wrist watch but also a high quality device.
FELDO wrist watches are made in Germany, so they have the seal “FELDO
it's different” in order to guarantee the acquisition of high quality wrist
watches with an exceptional finishing. FELDO makes not only wrist
watches but also other accessories such as our
cufflinks for shirts
which perfectly match with the wrist watches. Our
cufflinks, like FELDO
wrist watches, are manufactured with the best quality materials,
handmade, and with many different testing methods to ensure their high
quality.
After the prototype has been tested, paying attention up to the tiny
details and eventually improved, a series production is started. In
FELDO, series production means a
mini series production giving
importance to the handicraft skills at this first step.
FELDO has established this manufacturing system so that a series of
FELDO objects were always composed by few thousand units or in the case
of
limited editions just by few hundred of units (250 units). Only
relatively few people in the world can therefore possess these unique
wrist watches. The mini series production ends with an extremely
exhaustive final test so every wrist watch is tested by an inspector at
the end of the process.
Any minor fault or variation is discarded.
Wrist watches can be restored
to the required state thanks to a manual reparation or they are again
removed and discarded. You, as the customer, will always receive only
the highest quality wrist watches.
Your watchmaker can
require to FELDO
sketch to perform the different reparations to handle all the wrist
watches accurately. It is possible to contact directly to FELDO in case
you need replacement pieces. If your wrist watches is regularly reviewed
you will ensure that your descendant will be able to enjoy of this
special wrist watches which is without any doubt a
piece of art. |

Carbon
The carbon
fiber is very used in
FELDO wrist watches. This material has
a fiber and plastic compound, therefore it is very resistant as well as
very light. This material is always present in both our wrist watches
and cufflinks. Due to its strength, resistance and stiffness, this
material is very used in the aeronautical, astronautically and in the
automotive sectors. |

Ceramics
The word
ceramics used in our wrist watches comes from the ancient Greek
"keramos". In this time, this element was used for products made with
moulds resistant to cooking. The
production of ceramics is one of the
most ancient jobs of the humankind. Now, ceramics is used in diverse
fields of modern life as for instance for the construction of wrist
watches, knives and even for thermal-links in the astronautically sector.
Thanks to its colours and contrasts, FELDO wrist watches become very
attractive for the customer. |

Sapphire crystal
FELDO wrist watches are produced with scratch resistant sapphire
crystals. The
sapphire crystal is very used in writs watches dials due
to its high resistance. This material is artificially produced and its
resistance is only exceeded by the diamond. Aldo, this material does not
reflect virtually nothing. With the previously mentioned properties,
FELDO does not hesitate to use this material in the manufacturing of its
wrist watches. |

Kevlar
The Kevlar is another material also used in FELDO wrist watches. This
material is very resistant to breakage and abrasion. Thanks to these
properties we can ensure that our FELDO wrist watches will have a long
working life. The Kevlar is also used in many different technical
fields, the best known is the use in security systems (body armor,
helmets, vehicle protection, gloves and skating) as well as in modern
speakers. |

Cooper
The cooper, gold and silver were the first metals discovered by the
humankind. The cooper is very easy to process so this metal was used in
ancient cultures about 10.000 years ago.
Cooper is used to produce
coins, electric cables, cutlery, taps, boilers, precision elements,
works of art, etc... FELDO also uses cooper in the elaboration of its
wrist watches. Cooper is a very good conductor of both heat and electricity. Thanks to
its brightness and its importance in history, cooper is particularly
interesting for the manufacturing of FELDO wrist watches. |

Rubber
The plastic known as
rubber is used in almost of the different sectors
due to its great ability to absorb shocks as well as its insulation
quality. This material is also used in clothing, tires, or , wheels or
landslide coating. FELDO uses this material in a different way to create
its wrist watches and design items. |

Gold
There exists ancient jewels from the year 5.000 b.c. From that moment
this precious metal has been always present in our culture. Nowadays,
this luxury material does not always appear in FELDO wrist watches but
also in electronics, industry and many other fields. |

Titanium
Titanium forms in contact with air an oxidized protective cover
extremely resistant to corrosion. Both its low relative density and its
high resistance is very interesting to be used in diverse sectors where
high resistance with a lightweight is required. FELDO uses this
material in its wrist watches due to its light weight and extreme
resistance |

Stainless steel
Nowadays
stainless steel is one of the most important materials.
Stainless steel is an alloy of steel and other elements. Some of the
advantages of stainless steel are its high resistance, anticorrosive
character , thermo-resistant and its quality to be easily processed. For
these reasons, stainless steel is used in FELDO wrist watches. |

Wrist watches manufacturing
FELDO wrist watches are made in a German factory where the best
engineers regarding to watch-making, aeronautics, etc.. work. FELDO uses
for its clients’ welfare, the best materials, design innovations, and
the best design in wrist watches, using its own design which cannot be
found in the market not only due to its complex manufacturing and great
design but also FELDO uses the best protections in its wrist watches in
odder to avoid the copy of its wrist watches.
The brand
FELDO can show off exclusive and perfectly made wrist watches
so its production is not a mass production but FELDO makes a mini-series
production to create a limited number of wrist watches. The customer
will be able to purchase and wear one of our original FELDO wrist
watches. Also, the most important FELDO manufacturing procedures are
carried out by hand so FELDO wrist watches are perfect wrist watch. In
most of FELDO wrist watches, carbon is used. This is a strong and very
flexible material as well as an essential element in modern engineering
such as aeronautics, astronautics, etc...
FELDO wrist watches are produced by the best engineers dealing with
watch-making. Every wrist watch has to overcome some exhaustive tests,
checking its resistance and the perfect functioning of the watch, before
launching it to the market. We can guarantee that if you acquire a FELDO
wrist watch you will have an unique piece for life, as our main focus is
quality. |
