It is easier to make a watch than to sell a watch

Proof? Walk down the Sydney watch district: tens of thousands of Omega, JLC, Breitling, Hublot, Cartier, Panerai and Vacheron sitting quietly on display - for months and years, awaiting patiently to be placed on the wrist of a watch enthusiast.
'But what about Rolex' - you ask. What about it? Rolex spends hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising, year after year, decade after decade. And even Rolex has billions of dollars of watches in stock, sitting and waiting to be sold.

There are very few products out there that sell themselves. But even brute advertising has only a limited effect on a potential buyer. What works better than a glossy full page advertisement, is a write-up in the form of a 'testimonial' or 'recommendation' or a watch review by a 'trusted watch expert'.
Disguised as a non-advert, it is actually nothing more than a fully paid commercial message pushed down your throat, coated with a thin layer of Swissness.

This is how it is, this is how luxury works, and there is nothing we can do about it. Branding and resale value counts more than workmanship, performance, horological complexity or even the overall quality of a watch.

Quite often, I am approached by newspaper publishers and online influencers who blatantly offer clicks, editorials, favourable reviews, right down to testimonials. "You have such a powerful story, a great Australian made watch - and we are ready to help. Let’s share the excitement with our readers and followers." But I would rather poke both my eyes with the sharpest Dumont tweezers than to allow a self-proclaimed watch expert tell my story.

Not because I am blind to see the correlation between money 'invested' in advertising and number of watches sold, but because those brand experts have no clue about watchmaking. They have no idea what it takes to make a watch in a small workshop, in a country with no watchmaking heritage. Those who are interested in Australian watches, and Australian watchmakers would not benefit from hearing that story from a self-proclaimed expert who does not understand it and does not believe it himself. I'd rather not sell a watch than to sell it with the help of Judas.

Let me give you just one example.
In front of me is a newly completed batch of dials for MK2. This dial is the pinnacle of our in-house manufacturing. Titanium, guilloche, anodized, printed, with in house titanium feathered indices. And it is perfect, in every way, to the smallest detail visible only under a microscope. In the entire history of Australia, no other watchmaker, ever, has produced a watch dial of this complexity and beauty, and especially not in an exotic material like Titanium. This is a fact. I can talk for hours about it, I can show you the processes - from design to final stage of welding the indices - I can show you the machines, and the people who actually made this dial. I can tell you how painful it is to give birth to a watch dial. There are thousands of watchmakers in the world who can make a watch, but only a handful who can make dial like this one. So why in the world would I pay anyone to re-tell my story?

For the past ten years, our goal was to make a point. To show the world - and especially Swiss brands - that we can make a watch in Australia. Not any watch - but a watch that would be as good as a Swiss made watch.
We are not there yet - but we have already proven that we can do it. The results speak for themselves. How many watches we will make, and how many we will sell is completely irrelevant. I don't care. I could not care less.
Sales and money does not matter in the slightest.

What I do care about is to make the owner of an NH watch the proudest watch ambassador. Someone who will wear my watch knowing that he wears the best, most unique, most special watch ever manufactured in Australia. That's what I care about. What about you?

At a crossroad...

The past two years could be simply summed up as years of exciting discoveries and team building. After setting up the micro machining workshop, we have discovered that the high precision parts we make are highly sought after in space, telecommunications and the medical industries. And it is not just the parts themselves that excite our customers - it is our ability to work closely with them in the field of research and development, allowing them to take their project to next level.

Here is just one example of such co-operation. A well established customer has approached us last year with a request for a part that they've been struggling with for quite some time. The part is complex in the sense that it requires not just precision, but extreme consistency, meaning that a part made today will be identical to one made six months ago as to one to be made in a year from now.
They have tried to have it made in Germany, Switzerland and the US. The results were good, but not perfect. Consequently, due to the lack of consistency, they were struggling to prove the theoretical concept in a practical way, and then to fine tune it further. They knew that the magic happens in a region where the "junction holes" are between 70 and 75 microns in size, but the parts they were getting were simply too inconsistent, varying from batch to batch.

After a few attempts, and for the first time in the life of their project, we were delivering both 70 and 75 micron holes. They were over the moon. Not only have we beaten our competitors, but we are also able to hit even more specific dimensions - we can make perfect parts 'on demand' with holes of 72 and 74 microns in size. We took them to the next level. Why? Because our young team is crazy eager to prove ourselves as makers of parts that others call 'impossible to make'. And the more impossible parts we make, the more customers we have knocking on our door.

The problem is, we have no capacity to scale up, to make parts in volume and fully satisfy a customer's demands. Those high precision parts take hours to make. For example, running both Kern mills for 18 hours per day would produce 25 to 30 parts per week. Our customer needs 500. And this is just one project, by one customer, in one industry.

Being at the crossroads means at least two options:
One, to continue to grow organically, and stay at a prototyping service level. Zero risk, satisfying but painfully slow.
Option two, to seize the opportunity to expand; to double our manufacturing capacity. Hard and pricey.

Only time will tell...

Skull and Skeleton

KENTARO x SEIKO x AUSTRALIA
"Kentaro Yoshida, an artist originally from a small fishing village in Toyama, Japan, moved to Australia at 18 to embrace a new lifestyle. Drawn to the opportunity to learn English and enjoy the sunny beaches, Kentaro has since made Australia his home, now living and working on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Kentaro’s passion for both traditional and digital media shines through in his pastel-coloured artwork, which often features bold lines, quirky characters, and a light-hearted, beachside humour. He specialises in hand-painted art, creating everything from large-scale murals to intricate watercolour paintings."
Seiko 5 Sports x Kentaro Yoshida Limited Edition Collection

Created in collaboration with renowned artist, this Seiko 5 Sports series draws inspiration from Kentaro’s artistic journey in Australia, reflecting the landscapes, culture, and lifestyle that have shaped his distinctive vision.

Tribute to Time Through Kentaro’s Eyes: “Time Goes by Forever”

Kentaro Yoshida was commissioned to create the original artwork, “Time Goes by Forever,” as the foundation for this collaboration with Seiko Australia. The theme embodies the concept of time as an endless cycle, reflecting the continuous motion of life. Drawing from elements of nature—Clouds & Sky, Sun, Moon & Beach, and Wild Plants & Flowers—Kentaro’s artwork captures the essence of growth, change, and the inevitability of time’s passage.

The collection’s overarching concept revolves around time’s perpetual cycles: the sun rising and setting, plants blooming and withering, waves continuously rolling in, and clouds drifting across the sky. These motifs remind us that while time moves forward relentlessly, it is up to each of us to decide how to spend it. Each piece in the collection weaves these themes into its design, creating a cohesive narrative that celebrates the duality of time: both relentless and precious.
Three Timepieces Inspired by Nature’s Elements
SRPL25K: Clouds & Sky
Symbolising fleeting, transient moments, the “Clouds & Sky” timepiece features a sophisticated dark chromatic dial that evokes the depth of the skies. Complemented by a durable black silicone strap, it offers a sleek and timeless aesthetic.

SRPL26K: Sun, Moon & Beach
Reflecting the rhythm of the ocean and celestial transitions, the “Sun, Moon & Beach” watch shines with a yellow gold stainless steel case and matching bracelet. Its design captures the warmth and brilliance of sunlit beaches and the endless motion of ocean waves.

SRPL27K: Wild Plants & Flowers
Representing growth and renewal, this model features a vibrant green dial adorned with intricate motifs inspired by wild plants and blooming flowers. A stainless steel case paired with a green nylon strap creates a harmonious, monochromatic design.
Symbolism and Craftsmanship

Each timepiece incorporates Kentaro’s signature skull and skeleton motifs, seamlessly integrated into the designs. Powered by the reliable Calibre 4R36 movement, they offer a 41-hour power reserve for enduring performance. With a case diameter of 42.5mm and a thickness of 13.4mm, the timepieces provide a bold yet practical design. Water resistance up to 100 metres ensures durability for everyday adventures.
A Limited Edition for Collectors

Completing the design, each watch features a case back engraved with Kentaro’s signature logo and is presented in a limited edition tin box that complements the artwork’s colour theme.

A super rare opportunity for Australian collectors!
Price: $695 each

Pictures tell a thousand words
I mentioned in an earlier newsletter that we have been working on the next NHW release- every watch we’ve released since the NH1 in 2018 has felt like a horological pinnacle for our small outfit, but this next watch, what we are tentatively calling the NH4, feels like a quantum leap.

Today we (successfully!) tested the second prototype of the NH4 movement- a watch in which we now manufacture one of that hardest, most finnicky components in, the oscillator. The balance wheel, and regulation assembly is mind bogglingly tough to make, but instead of regaling you with the manufacturing stories, I’ll just show you some pictures of the last 2 weeks of prototyping.

Big stud

 

For the last 12 months we have been working on our next release from NHW. While it's still far too early to talk about the watch, I can say that it's pushing the limits of our manufacturing, in the best way possible.

In this photo below, you can see a component called a "stud". It's an incredibly small part that holds onto the hairspring of the watch. Like all components in a watch, the stud is very tightly toleranced, and requires the utmost care in design, manufacturing, assembly and decoration. 
Our in-house, NHW stud is made from titanium, which is very rare - usually studs are made from either steel, which is magnetic and may influence the very fine motion of the hairspring, or from brass. Titanium offers superior strength, anti-magnetic properties, and is light, corrosion resistant and holds a very good aesthetic finish. 

Manufacturing something this small is a feat of our machinists here at NHW. Burrs, cracks, nicks, or any other defect totally destroy the function or aesthetic quality of the part. Even a small scratch, a 10th of the size of your hair, would render this stud useless!

10 years ago if you told me that this part was going to be in my palm, made by our internal workshop... I wouldn't have believed it, but here we are. Modern artisanal watchmaking, Manufactured in Australia.

Crème de la crème

 

ANCA is Australia’s only machine tool builder. Established 50 years ago by Pat Boland and Pat McCluskey, ANCA has been manufacturing the machines that manufacture the tools that are used in CNC machines worldwide and across all industries, to make parts. In short, ANCA are at the bleeding edge of the manufacturing chain. It would not be a stretch to say that ANCA have influenced every single object around you in one way or another.

Based in Melbourne, and employing over 1000 people worldwide, ANCA believes strongly in Australian Manufacturing. NH Micro is a supplier to ANCA, and last year I had the pleasure to walk through their manufacturing facilities in Bayswater North - truly incredible. They are completely vertically integrated, making and assembling nearly every component of their machine in-house. This is a level of industrial strength that you would only see in Japan, Germany, Switzerland and the US.
 
Just this weekend, the two Pat’s – Boland and McCluskey, were honoured by our government, each being presented with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM), in recognition of their achievements in Australian Manufacturing.

The story of ANCA is far more in-depth than just a few paragraphs here, and to capture it, the company has filmed a documentary sharing their journey. It is one of the most inspirational Australian Manufacturing stories I’ve ever seen. I can highly recommend watching it.

Update from the workshop

 

Manufacturing complex parts for our watches, as well as for industries outside of watchmaking, requires complex metrology, too. In this case we are seeing what the limits are of our new Zeiss Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). 

CMM's use tactile measuring devices in the form of ruby spheres to very accurately "feel" how big (or small) a part is. On our new CMM from Zeiss, we've been able to use this method to measure parts with a certainty below 1um - that's such a small value, it's difficult to even comprehend! For reference, a human blood cell is around 7um in diameter. Tactile measurement has worked incredibly well for us, and generally works very well when the feature sizes are relatively large - so you can use a large ruby sphere (called a stylus). But, part of the reason of why we purchased this particular machine was due to its very unique ability to use incredibly small styli. Generally these ruby spheres are around 1mm in diameter, or larger - however this can pose problems when the parts you are trying to measure are very small in and of themselves! For example, measuring a hole that is 0.5mm in diameter, you would need a ruby that is significantly smaller than the hole size! 

Last week we pulled out our new 0.2mm stylus - this ruby is just two sheets of paper in diameter, or about 3 human hairs wide! It's dwarfed against the tip of a ballpoint pen, and requires a special ceramic sphere to calibrate it in our Zeiss CMM, shown below.
These probe tips or styli are manufacturing marvels themselves - here is a great video walk through of how these tiny measuring devices are manufactured!

When we set out to do watch manufacturing in Australia, I never thought we would be doing this!

The first and only watchmaker-manufacturer in Australia?

Do you know that starting a watch repair business in Australia requires no formal education, certification, or licensing, or even experience? You can call yourself a watchmaker, print a bunch of business cards, and start a business literally today. Yes, you can call yourself even a Master Watchmaker! And if you find repairing watches a bit boring, then you may skip that altogether and start your own brand—and show Rolex how it’s done.

I am not making this up. In Australia, we have a number of watchmakers who lack both skills and qualifications, yet they are visibly present, advertising themselves for years as ‘independent makers.’. 

About ten years ago, when the Rebelde project took off, one of the driving forces behind the project was a desire to establish the NH brand in a way that it could face fierce competition. I always thought, well, if I can start a watch brand, then surely there would be other watchmakers who can do the same. I was expecting plenty of competition from within the industry but also from individuals who are mechanically minded, have sufficient funds to invest, and are willing to learn the trade. It turned out that ten years later, we are the only people capable of making watch components and complete watches in Australia.

The purpose of this short article is to provide you with facts. To empower you, so you can differentiate and assess horological ‘manufacturing’ claims yourself. After all, as an Australian watch collector and enthusiast, you should be armed with the facts.

Here is a short list of some of the NH watchmaking capabilities developed in recent years. 

1. Design, reverse engineering, and engineering of complex, multi-component devices

Multiple workstations. We use the same CAD software as used in the Patek factory.
2. Milling

Ability to manufacture various parts using five-axis CNC mills. We use the same CNC machines that make key watch components for Lange, Rolex, and IWC.
3. Turning

We are capable of making cylindrical parts by CNC turning, ranging in size from a fraction of a millimetre to the size of a watch crown. Again, we use the same automatic lathe as Swiss watch manufacturers.
4. Wire EDM

The cutting-edge technology! Wire EDM allows us to make not just some of the most complex parts that could not be made manually, but also to prototype various one-off parts.
5. Gear hobbing

The ability to manufacture watch gears was traditionally the most challenging aspect of watchmaking. Even today, only a selected few can claim true in-house gear hobbing fame. Our CNC gear hobbing machine was built by the Swiss leader in the field of gear making, the very same model used by top Swiss brands like Patek, Vacheron, and Rolex.
6. Thermic treatment of machined parts

Extremely challenging! We are mastering it slowly but steadily.
7. Tool and fixture making

This is a completely separate field of engineering and manufacturing than the watchmaking itself. Yes, we make our own tools and holders.
8. Grinding

Precision grinding is an art form. While we use CNC grinders, the grinding process is still a combination of computer and manual skills.
9. Case manufacturing

With the NH55 project, we have completely immersed ourselves in the manufacturing of complex watch cases. We are capable of making cases in stainless steel, titanium, composite resins, and even ceramic.
10. Micro-particle blasting and polishing

Both internal and external watch components are finished using various applications. We make things beautiful.
11. Guilloche

A horological art form where precision and intricacy take the enjoyment of watchmaking to a completely new level. Unlike Swiss watch dial manufacturers, who use soft metals to create guilloche patterns, our specialty is guilloche in titanium and Timascus. We are extremely proud of our ability to manufacture dials and hands in-house.
12. Anodizing

The ability to turn a dull alloy into a fireworks of colour is what makes NH different from most other watchmakers. Anodizing is tricky! It takes lots of skills and patience to master it. 
13. Dial printing

Yes, completely in-house! We print our dials using the same printing machine used by Omega! Down to exact Swiss paint…
14. Measuring

Over the years we have heavily invested in cutting-edge, high-precision measuring equipment. Our ability to measure manufactured components in the submicron range provides us with an unparalleled ability to make components in the submicron range. Without precise measuring, there will be no precision manufacturing.
During this year, we had the pleasure to share with you a number of exciting projects of our involvement as a key manufacturer in medical, space, electronics, and scientific projects—for local and international customers and universities. It is important to highlight the obvious: that our manufacturing capability is first and foremost a result of our ability to manufacture watch components and complete watches in Australia.

Again, the purpose of this short article is not to brag about what we do. We still see ourselves merely as students of horology on a journey that will take a lifetime—or two—to master.

What an exciting journey it is! The Australian-made watch is here—and if you wish to join us, we are looking forward to serving you in years to come.

Happy Watchmaking and Happy New Year,
NH & the team

What makes a watch "collectable"?

 

Definition
A collectable refers to an item worth significantly more than it was initially sold for because of its rarity or popularity.

Are wrist watches collectable?
Only a tiny fraction of all watches in circulation are collectable, have collectable potential, and are worth collecting. The vast majority of watches are intended to be simply worn on the wrist for practical reasons (because they tell time!) or as a fashion / jewellery piece. 

What makes a watch a 'collectable'?
There are a few 'key ingredients'. Rarity (small production run), popularity ('iconic model'), association with a celebrity or historical event, being made by a reputable / famous maker or a brand.

What is important?
Condition, condition, condition. That relates to all aspects of the physical, mechanical and aesthetical properties of a watch. A watch 'put together' from bits and pieces which may be original, but from a different era would be far less desirable than one which contains parts that started life together on the assembly line.
A watch which comes with original box, certificate, instruction manual and guarantee card is regarded as a complete set. Such pieces are highly desirable by collectors. Obviously, a watch has to keep time to be regarded as a watch.

What else?
A collectable watch is one that is well documented and well researched, down to the most minute detail. Reference books, historical sales records, manufacturer's catalogues, ownership data, provenance - all the 'supporting' information associated with a brand and model - to help us determine why two seemingly identical pieces vary in price, often significantly. 

Practical example
Here is an example of a watch regarded as a perfect collectable piece in the entry level price range.

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, Apollo 17.
The ref. 3574.51.00 is a limited edition of 3000 pieces introduced in 2002.
While the dial is the same as the regular 3570.50.00, it features a special caseback commemorating the 1972 Apollo XVII mission and E.A. Cernan being the last man to set foot on the moon.

Issue: 3,000 watches, individually numbered. No 0161/3000. Sold new in 2004.

Overall condition: very fine, 9.8/10.
This rating means that while the watch has been worn, it was worn sporadically, by a careful owner. Very lightly polished, showing no external imperfections. The dial and hands are spotless 10/10. The watch is an excellent timekeeper. The chronograph function: perfect. Water resistant. 

Full set.
The watch comes with original commemorative box which itself is in exceptional condition, the outer box, the plastic hang tag showing model reference number and serial number, intact Certificate of Authenticity, numbered. Also, it comes with original the Operating Instruction booklet, International warranty card correctly stamped, showing the date of sale and dealers details, movement serial number and model reference, and pictogram card.

Value
While we have no crystal ball to predict the future market trends, this watch is a perfect example of a rare, well documented, historically important model by Omega. A complete set like this will always find a keen buyer / investor, today, as well in the years to come. The event commemorated by this issue still stands as an unbroken record of human achievement - for the past 52 years, no human has stepped on the moon. And even if somehow we do have a manned lunar mission, such a milestone would only reinforce the historical importance of this piece.

In my opinion, there is plenty of potential for further growth in popularity of the Cernan Moonwatch. Best of all: a piece like this could be enjoyed and worn by a careful owner for many years to come, without further affecting the overall condition. 

Not only you can have your cake - and eat it, but finding a better example than this one could be a daunting task, especially in this price range.

NH Micro on the moon!?

 

As many newsletter readers will know, alongside being the first Australian watch manufacturer, we also manufacture parts for parallel precision industries. This side business is called NH Micro, and operates out of our workshop in Brookvale.

Over the last 4 years we’ve been manufacturing parts for the space, medical, quantum computing, scientific instrumentation, microfluidic and communication industries - to name a few. We employ a team of young Australians who have grown and developed amazing manufacturing skills. Our strength is in our people, in our talented machinists, engineers, toolmakers and watchmakers. An oasis of ultra-precision manufacturing.

Recently we were approached by an Australian company to produce optomechanical components that are destined for the moon. That’s right - parts manufactured in our workshop in Brookvale, are not just going to space, but to the moon!

This component is a navigational instrument that will guide a lunar lander to it’s final landing position. It uses four lasers to range-find against the lunar surface, and it will provide position and velocity feedback to the spacecraft. Reading between the lines, the tie between horology and navigation is unmistakable.
Centuries after ship's chronometers made by technology-enabled horologists helped guide explorers across the globe, contemporary technology-enabled watchmakers are helping make navigational instruments for the next generation of explorers. Except, in the new frontier… space.
These components are incredibly tricky to manufacture, and have pushed us to develop and invent new processes for programming, holding, and measuring the parts. The part in the photos here is not quite finished, in fact it was the first part we made. The next parts will be made from titanium instead of aluminium. We use aluminium for testing when it comes to parts like these since the cost for titanium is high, and making mistakes in aluminium is also much more gentle on the machine/tools we use.
I love sharing projects like these, especially when they are not protected by confidentiality agreements and non-disclosure agreements. Enjoy!

They're here: the Earth, Moon and Sun

 

Yes the new Astron has just arrived. Actually, not one, but three ‘futuristic’ edition models; the Earth, Moon and Sun. Catchy.

I have been following Astron’s development for the past few years. There is no doubt that with Astron, Seiko has reached the point of movement development where there is nothing left to perfect.

It’s perfect in every aspect: timekeeping, radio connection to satellite, functionality and ease of adjustment. Visually, the dial and hands are executed to the highest standard of horological manufacturing. Therefore the only area left for ‘exploration’ is the actual case, bezel and bracelet design, and perhaps, a dial texture and colour. And SEIKO is not shy to experiment, to offer new designs, to try and explore.

For more than a hundred years, Seiko was equally successful in following the trends as well as starting it’s own. Earth, Moon and Sun collection is a perfect example of independent thinking.

A modern watch for a modern watch enthusiast. Practical, accurate, elegant, unique.

Should you add one to your ‘daily wearer’ list? Absolutely. Especially if like myself, you love Titanium. 42mm case size.

The most 'different' watch brand in the world

The one thing all NH55 watch owners have in common: they are all different. Yet it is not the watch that makes them different - they stand out of the crowd because they already are different. NH55 is simply a perfect match.

There are no two identical NH55 either. Every single piece has its own distinctive look, distinctive DNA, made from hand forged titanium, hand finished by a watchmaker who's name is on the dial. There is no other brand in the world which offers a more unique, more personal, more authentic watch.

Different: the ultimate form of sophisticated expression to those who really are.

Collector Conversations, at the HSNY

 

On the 26th of September, Josh Shapiro, Bradley Taylor, and I, hosted an event for independent watch collectors at the Horological Society of New York... and it went fantastically!

This was a really special night for us for two reasons:

1. This was the first international show we've ever done. For Nicholas Hacko Watchmaker, a small, independent watchmaker, an international show is monumental. It engages a whole new market segment, and showcases our work to a group of collectors that would have no ability to interact with us otherwise. New York is full of enthusiastic, passionate collectors of fine independent watchmaking, and we had an incredible turnout. We had both of our current models on display, the NH55 and the MK2. I'll tell you what... It's truly humbling when someone takes off their FP Journe Resonance or Patek Phillipe World Time to put on an NH55... and then gasp!
2. Bringing together 3 independent, class-leading watchmakers together is no small feat. Josh S., Bradley, and I, have been friends for many years, and one common theme between us is that we are incredibly passionate about "making". All three of us devote our entire lives to crafting our watches in-house, and our different approaches, techniques, and strengths, always compliment each other. In many ways, a synergy like this is ultra common... in Switzerland... but outside of the geographic centres of watchmaking, you'd be hard pressed to find this "scene". For a collector - an event like the one we hosted in New York, where 3 separate watchmakers can share their unified horological story is incredibly rare.
On the back of the success of the New York show, we are already planning on running another show in Los Angeles, September 2025. If you are in the US, keep an eye out for that!

Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Cherishing Every Moment

 

"Rooted in a 16th-century Japanese proverb and a core principle of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, "Ichigo Ichie" (一期一会) roughly translates to "for this time only" or "once in a lifetime." It embodies the idea of being fully present and cherishing each moment as a singular experience that may never occur again."
Each limited-edition watch comes with a special presentation dark timber box, making it a perfect addition to any watch collection.
Freshly arrived from Seiko, an Australasian limited edition of only 1,000 pieces.

Worth a million, sold for peanuts!
The three members of the Skylab 4 crew are photographed standing near Pad B, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Centre, Florida, during their pre-flight activities. They are, left to right, scientist-astronaut Edward G. Gibson, science pilot; astronaut Gerald P. Carr, commander; and astronaut William R. Pogue, pilot. [Source Wikipedia] 

Image taken on 7 November 1973, NASA.
The first watch on the moon: Omega Speedmaster.

The first automatic chronograph in space: humble Seiko 6139-6005.
It was the US astronaut Colonel William Pogue, who wore that very Seiko watch on the 1973 Skylab 4 mission - despite not obtaining NASA authorisation - to time shuttle engine burns due to his familiarity with the watch and trust in its capabilities. Yes, a watch he trusted the lives of his fellow astronauts and indeed his own life with. 

Here is the question: if the SEIKO Pogue, worn in space, on a NASA mission was auctioned today, how much would you bid? Or, how much would Seiko pay to acquire the original Pogue for their museum? A hundred thousand dollars? A million?

Strangely and bizarrely, Pogue let the watch go for only $6,000 at a charity auction held in 2008…

On today's offer: freshly arrived “The New Seiko Pogue” reinterpretation and a tribute to the original chronograph.

Probably the most anticipated release of the year: The Speedtimer SSC947

I wish I met him 30 years ago…

 

We’ve been in the watchmaking business since 1951, when the first Hacko opened a small repair shop in a central European country right on the border of the Iron Curtain. Literally three years after World War II ended. Running a small business, and being a self-employed was kind of a novelty in a country where the State took care of employment. There were three kind of citizens: farmers, factory workers, and intelligencia. In that system, we were a misfit from day one.

Yet things ran relatively smoothly: we fixed watches, providing a valuable service to both state and citizen.

>From a taxation stand-point, small businesses were assessed by a Government official in a very rudimentary way: pauschal, or flat rate. Meaning, once a year an assessor would walk into our family shop, have a good look at the number of watchmakers (two, plus an apprentice) and stock on hand (none, just spare parts). He would also take into account the shop’s location and passing traffic, and based on that, we would come up with a figure which represented an amount of tax to be paid that year.

The negative side of flat rate taxation was obvious: inherent unfairness and corruption, but there was a positive side too: no invoicing, or billing, no book keeping, and no accounting of any kind, meaning zero administration. We simply focused on fixing watches. We only started retailing watches in the late 1970s when non-government businesses were allowed to buy and sell watches.

I saw my first proper accountant upon arrival in Australia. Quite frankly, it took me a few years to figure out why I should even have one when the business was really struggling to break even. My very first accountant was an Irish gentleman, Mr. McCarty from Parramatta, who was equally puzzled with my desire to operate a small business – lacking working capital, having no local experience, and barely able to speak English. Ten years later, after moving to the city, the business was ready for a new accountant: a serious professional with an office in York street. I have to say that we got what we paid for: a good relationship, proper business structure, finely tuned performance. You buy Rolex, you wear Rolex kind of deal.

Unfortunately we had no choice but to part at the very outset of Covid because Nikolaki decided to close the city office and move interstate.

It was then when I met my current accountant. Sam is a legend. He is the kind of guy who can answer any question, on the spot, in a second. Efficient, prompt, friendly; a mature gentleman who simply loves what he does. For Sam, nothing is difficult. I trust him blindly. He's the A.Lange & Sohne of accounting. Every morning I pray for his health before I pray for my own.

Why am I retelling all this? Last year, I met Ivan, an accountant from Adelaide. Ivan kindly helped me setting up a small radio retail business which is now celebrating it’s first birthday. Over the past twelve months, we exchanged numerous emails, phone calls, we worked together on the website, and we’ve spent many late evenings trying to find a strategy to launch new products. Quite frankly, I have never come across someone more passionate about my business than I am.

It would be a sin not to recommend Ivan. I bet there is someone out there, in Adelaide, right now, thinking of taking their business to the next level, or simply, looking for a passionate, enthusiastic, trustworthy accountant. If this is you, or someone you know, then give him a call and simply mention ‘Nick, the watchmaker from Sydney’. I have no idea what he can do for you, but I can guarantee that you would be hard pressed to find a more passionate and a better value for money accountant in Adelaide.

For complete transparency: Ivan did not pay, or even ask to be mentioned in this newsletter. The idea is entirely mine, on merit, my way of saying ‘thank you for going the extra mile’.

An unsolicited 5 star Google feedback, so to speak.

Tools of the trade:

 

As many of you know, our workshop in Brookvale is not only the place where all our watches are manufactured, but also where we run a business called NH Micro. Dedicated to manufacturing high precision components for parallel, precision industries. We manufacture components for the medical, scientific instrumentation, space, optics and photonics, high frequency communication and semiconductor industries, just to name a few. Our skills and experiences in making, small, highly precise and complex watch parts means that we are able to manufacture parts for all these other industries, where many manufacturers might struggle.

I'd love to show you all the parts we've made... Parts that will be on the moon, that are already in orbit, parts that are used in some of the worlds most advanced brain implants, components that are allowing scientists to peer deeper into what makes this world "tick"... but unfortunately, more than 90% of the work we do is protected by NDA's. This means that these parts are bound with confidentiality agreements that limit our ability to show them publicly.

This week we are manufacturing a part for a quantum computer. It's a small component that will end up being in the heart of one of the most advanced quantum computers in the world, being built by a massive household name. This particular component requires the use of a very specialised tool called an "MCD Flycutter". (M)ono (C)rystalline (D)iamond is a fancy way of saying either natural, or lab-grown diamond. Diamond is the hardest material known to man, and because of that, it is a fantastic cutting tool. if properly sharpened, it can hold an edge that is stronger and sharper than any other material. This incredibly keen edge, when used to cut non-ferrous materials, is able to make amazing surface finishes. Mirrors!
The 2.5 carat diamond is bonded to a Tungsten carbide body, and sharpened by lapping against finer, smaller diamonds grains. This lapping process transforms the cutting edge into a perfectly sharp and smooth tip. Under even 800x zoom, you cannot see any defects or chipping! The lapping is usually done by hand, by seasoned experts.

The part that is going into the quantum computer requires a mirror surface to be cut into aluminium. This surface is used to bounce a laser in a very specific, and accurate direction. The angles, flatness and surface finish have to be as close to perfect as possible. I can't show the final part, but we can show you the results from this MCD flycutter. In the link below you can see the surface that our MCD tool left on this piece of aluminium - no polishing, and exceptionally flat.

The graph says it all

 

During the past 12 months, Swatch (Omega, Longines, Breguet etc.) shares have lost 35% of their value.

Actually, after they peaked at almost CHF 800 in 2014, they are now down more than 75%.

According to Bloomberg, “Swatch group reported a 70% drop in operating profit and a 14% drop in sales for the first six months of the year". Apparently, Omega is sitting on 7.1 billion CHF worth of unsold stock.

And that calculation is on manufacturing cost price, not the retail watch value.
Is the world of watches, as we know it, ending tonight? Should we all sell our Omega watches, cut our losses and exit the market before it’s too late?
 
Absolutely not. And here is why.
 
While the low demand for luxury products is obviously affecting the sales, the truth is that low demand is not the result of an inferior product, nor a customer’s desire to invest in watches. There are three mighty forces in play which are directly affecting the sales. First, interest rates which jumped from zero to well over 6% (US, Australia) and around 4% (Europe). The disposable income of about one third of all watch enthusiasts has been sucked out by banks.

The second reason is very low demand from mainland China. Swiss analysts say that “Chinese consumers are becoming increasingly sensitive to the prices of luxury goods”. That may be the truth, but only partially. Chinese buyers are increasingly sensitive to constant anti-Chinese sentiments, tariffs, trade restrictions, trade wars, to downright economic bullying. There is a strong and growing sentiment that domestic spending on domestically manufactured goods is good for China. Buying a Rolex or Patek is still a way to reward yourself, mark an important milestone, or simply display one’s wealth, but there is definitely a constrain in ‘investing’ in multiple pieces. The Chinese market is simply maturing, becoming more sophisticated.

The third reason is post-Covid back to reality. During the lockdown, luxury watch manufacturing had it good. Exceedingly good. Buyers were forced to stay at home, bored, eager to reward themselves with a watch or two. Online sales exploded; and the myth of ‘luxury watches being the ultimate investment’ created an artificial market boom. A horological tulip mania. No commodity can sustain a 300% price ‘growth’ in just a year or two.
We had it good, the party is over. And by over, we simply mean: back to normal.
 
I am absolutely not worried about Omega as a brand. Omega is not a newcomer to commerce, nor luxury goods. The excess stock will be quietly disposed to the grey market, as has happened so many times in the past. There are thousands of second hand dealers in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, the US and the Middle East who would be more than happy to get their hands on such desirable stock. They are major players who are financially capable of investing in luxury watches, with their own distribution network. If anything, overstock is great news for you, and me.
 
The “ups and downs” in the luxury watch trade are nothing more than regular cycles of supply, demand, amplified by external financial and economical forces, hype, political trends, news, and wars.

To the Swiss: business as usual.

A first for the Seiko Astron

 

Seiko presents the first Astron GPS Solar watch to combine dual-time technology with a chronograph function - calibre 5X83. And here are the key new features: 

1. A 1/20-second chronograph function
The new watch features a sub-dial at 12 o'clock that measures elapsed time in increments of 1/20th of a second.

2. A faster time transfer function
The time of day displayed on the main dial can be switched with the one on the six o'clock sub-dial by holding down two buttons for three seconds. The main dial and sub-dial hands move simultaneously, making the time required for the transfer significantly shorter with the new Calibre 5X83 than with Calibre 5X53.

3. Further improvement of the dial texture
The new movement's enhanced energy-charging efficiency allows the main dial and sub-dials to have contrasting colours and textures.

On today's offer we have four models to choose from. Two featuring the latest and greatest 5X83 movement and two limited edition models, only 1,500 pieces made worldwide of each. This Starry Sky dial of these limited models feature a stamped star-shaped pattern – a process difficult to achieve on a dial with a solar cell.

It is Seiko season, so today we have more of Seiko's latest releases on offer. 

The three new Prospex Diver's models just released, SRPL11K, SRPL13K and SRPL15K, bear both the style features of the Seiko Samurai and the distinctive shapes of the Seiko Shogun. 

- 41.7mm case size
- 12.3mm thickness
- 49.5mm lug to lug
- Stainless steel case
- Hardlex glass

My favourite: the burgundy Prospex. It is simply a striking watch that really needs to be seen in person. Even Seiko's photos don't do it any justice.

Celebrating 100 years of the Seiko brand

 

In 1924, Seiko introduced the first wristwatch with 'Seiko' on the dial, signifying the beginning of the Seiko Brand. This year 2024, marks the 100th Anniversary of this landmark event.

To celebrate, Seiko have released a special edition 1965 Heritage Prospex, powered by Seiko's latest in-house 3 day power reserve movement. Charcoal-grey dial with gold-coloured accents. 40mm case size. Stainless steel case and bracelet. Additional NATO strap. Sapphire crystal. Water resistance 300 metres. SPB455J. 

Boutique price: $2,350

To continue the celebrations, Seiko have also released two additional re-interpretations of the original Seiko diver's watch from 1965, also upgraded with a 72 hour power reserve calibre and enhanced water resistance to 300 metres, a first for Prospex non-saturation diver’s watches. 
And recognising that some find Seiko watches too bulky, they have responded by slimming down the case, shortening the lugs, and using a smaller clasp across their latest release. 
Available in black and blue. 

Boutique price: $1,995

Some things are just impossible to depict through a set of photos

 

Yes, anyone can take a photo of the Opera House, but a photo of an operatic performance will be nothing more than a pale graphic snapshot of multisensory time-transcending artistic performance.

A photo of a wedding, a sailboat race, or a succulent lamb shank slowly cooked under a clay pot - as colourful and detailed as it may be, will never convey the very experience of the event.

The same applies to the NH55 timascus guilloche watches - they are completely and totally une expérience rather than merely a horological device. Not only impossible to present in photos, but impossible to photograph to start with.

The NH55 comes to life when exposed to light in motion. The play of light on the timascus surface is what creates a unique, sensory experience to its viewer. The main plates, the contrast between steel, German silver, titanium, brass and Timascus, the finishes, details, the motion of the balance wheel; feathered hands and batons on a timascus guilloche dial, amplified or muted depending on the time of day, and the light source itself.
All that captured by the viewers own eye, processed by the power of their mind, and imagination, inevitably filtered or magnified by their own understanding of horology, their own expectations and ultimately, their own desires.

This week the first NH55 watches have reached their guardians in the US and Europe. Watch collectors who couldn't wait to get their hands on horological pieces manufactured in Australia, by an independent watchmaker. To say that I was confident that our watch would meet their expectations would be understatement- not for a second did I have any doubts that they would be pleased with their decision. Yet it is important to recognize the obvious: it was them who took a real risk of investing in a watch that could not be photographed, nor described in words, and for that alone, they deserve full credit for their bravery. On the other hand, impressing a watch collector who already has every watch ever made by every reputable and established independent watchmaker, plus many dozens of watches from the most prestigious Swiss brands is simply impossible. Once you see the "Queen of the Night" on stage, an incarnation of Erika Miklosa, every other diva is just another Cinderella. 

Of course I knew that once we hit a certain price point, the watch will start attracting the most discerning collectors. And funnily enough, neither Josh, Andrew, nor myself, not for a second, dreaded their feedback. With all due respect to them, and to ourselves, the feedback is simply irrelevant. Which, in itself, is the ultimate makers flex.

I believe in transparency: out of 16 watches, we have already sold seven. A few more pieces are under negotiation. We are not concerned about setting and breaking any sales records, nor do we have to sell them all at once, in a day. We are quite happy to sell them organically- by allowing them to sell themselves, at their own pace, in their own time. For which we are firmly on track.

The project is not completed. There is one more thing to be done: a hard-cover book on the NH55 project, depicting in detail each watch, it’s dial, mechanism, down to the unique hand made box. A couple of chapters on the ‘manufactured in Australia’ story, references to previously issued watches, including the ‘rebelde’ line. Plus a chapter on manufacturing with examples of high precision devices made by your favourite ‘watchmaker’s team’. We have no option but to lock this project in time, to preserve it for the next generation – or at least, as a guideline to anyone else who one day would want to retrace our footsteps.

(If you would like to be notified once the book is out, please drop Gemma a line, that would help us determining how many copies will be printed. Price: $100.) 

Now, as an intelligent and sophisticated watch enthusiasts, you are most likely asking yourself one or two questions:

If the NH55 is such a “glowing international success” as I am portraying it to be, why have we not read a single line about the project from a local or international media outlet, or even a blogger? Well, for a simple reason: every time someone approaches us offering a media cover, and before we even get into promotion details, without any hesitation, without beating around the bush, I make them aware that such a promotion will not be paid for by us.
I don’t pay for editorials or media advertising, newsworthy or not. Immediately they back off. Media is in the business of making money, not in the business of talking about ‘manufactured in Australia’ or reporting on newsworthy events. Which is ultimately a loss to their subscribers and readers, not ours.

The second question: if the NH55 is such a “glowing international success” as I am portraying it to be, sold at $35,000 a pop, why am I still selling Seiko watches, cheap pocket watches, and indeed Swiss second hand watches? Why don’t we focus our entire energy on making our own watches?
This is a question I don’t have an answer for, at least, not yet. The ‘rebelde’ project started as a rebellion, with a specific reason for existence: to prove a point that a small independent watchmaker is every bit as good and every bit as capable as any other brand or watchmaker, and as such, it should remain relevant and respected. Starting an independent brand is not only possible, but investing in manufacturing facilities and developing strategic manufacturing capabilities is good for other businesses and ultimately for Australia at large. In that, we have succeeded. We’ve made that point so strongly and so loudly that even if we never make another watch, we are good, fair and square.

What will the future bring – we shall see.

The remaining few NH55 watches are available for viewing at our office. Please call for appointment. 

Happy collecting,
Nick Hacko
