SUPERSEDE Dials, Rotors & More!

Great to hear you are enjoying the process journey and thank you for taking part. Each order is extremely motivating for our young team of engineers and watchmakers. They are laser focused on production and refining each and every detail of the movement and watch to ensure we go above and beyond expectation. Thank you!

Thank you for the order! You can definitely change out the colour later on, just send us an email and we will make that work for you. More images of the various combinations and colours to follow as we refine the prototype details.

I agree with you! There are just too many colors for blue and green dial in my opinion. Personally I think prefer the numbers 12/24 to be removed. The black/white colors are already clear day/night indicators. Dial would look a lot cleaner as well.

+1 on simplifying the day / night indicator to match the underlying dial color

@Anson Jim How about making the 12/24 font smaller so it’s not so dominant? I actually want to see the numbers there and actually wanted to see the 6 and 18 indicators as well. But make them much smaller font while still being legible.

The 12:00 white was the starting point for this colour exercise and chosen as it fits the look and feel of Supersede. Making the rotor material vote helped us to see whether the material difference was important to the community given it’s tucked away under someone’s wrist. The rotor is still to be decided and comes down to what Jonas decides as the best performing material for the movement now that we see so many having interest in gold or the mystery material. Thank you 😊

It always helps seeing things in the metal. Currently we are waiting on hands to be finished for the watch and it will be a rather last minute assembly but we should have a watch ready in time for pre-order. There nothing quite like pushing things to the last minute 😅. Happy you enjoy the updates and that the images helped. Thank you 😊

Oh, let me add as well Landon, that this is a really fun and engaging process to be involved in. It makes it feel like I have some sort of stake and input into the watch that I may ultimately end up with from you! Thanks for all the interaction with us as a community! :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the dial colours and hypothesis on the colour vote. I actually have never thought about a correlation to the Royal Oak dial colours. Maybe it’s because the dial structure is so different.I guess I/we (Horage) are in our Horage bubble. However we’re not always in a bubble and @tzuyuhuang6 and our designers have a pretty good pulse on colour and always seems to find what is coming next as well I have seen a lot of comments and excitement around the colour grey more recently that made me think that our team might just have found a winner again but we will have to wait a bit to see if that is so. Regardless the grey looks very cool.

Thank you very much! I am glad you’re having fun with this process. Your input along with everyone else’s really counts and has shaped how things progress. Thanks again.

Thanks for the interesting questions. I have read through them a few times and I think the size and closeness of the image makes very small details look quite large and with some things missing like the date disk and hands it’s hard to weigh in on proportions. The indices are made from steel and the way the light is hitting them it accentuates the amount of material between the lume and outer edge of the indices. Adding orange to the sub-dial might cause the hand to get lost and therefore it’s good to have that separation. All great questions and I look forward to getting a few different angles of the finished watch for you.

Thank you for the kind words.

We have put a lot of thought and planning into this pre-order as we have tried many different payment options.

Supersede will have four pre-order rounds which means people can hop in a at anytime. The final retail price will be 6500 CHF so we reward those who join early in the VIP Bird with the best price such as just 4500 CHF in the first round, the second at 4900CHF and so on.

We had tried monthly payments in the past, but found many people missed payments due to not receiving the email notification or their card providers didn't authorize or couldn't authorize for a few reasons such as insufficient funds or something as simple as an unrecognized purchase due it being a first purchase from our brand. This meant a lot of extra administrative work and time taken away from our team when we could have been focused on helping customers or focusing on project development.

However we know that splitting up the payment is important for some and therefore we offer a split payment option where a customer can pay 50% now and 50% later.

The split payment is something we can better manage as there is one initial payment and just one invoice to follow up on later. In addition it helps customers spread out the payment.

At the time of pre-order you will see this 50/50 option available in the store. Thank you.

@landonstirling Thank you for comming back to me soo quickly. I didn't know about the 50/50 option. That seems a very reasonable alternative. Thank

Thanks again for asking. Feel free to reach out anytime.

Great to have you along for the ride! Thank you 👍

Thank you for the feedback. As you mention there shouldn’t be a compromise on function. The reason for the vote was to see how important a precious metal like 22K gold was to our community because it’s tucked away under the wrist. It turns out people really like that added touch myself included. This vote made us look at different material options. Ultimately it comes down to which material is going to perform best in the movement. Gold is nice but it’s lighter than tungsten which means it might under perform at its job of rewinding the mainspring. The final decision will be made by Jonas our head of engineering as he has been leading the charge on K2.

I’m glad you are having so much fun with this! This feedback helps us to know if we are on the right track. Let us know which dial you decide on. Thank you 😊

@landonstirling at the moment it’s black but the grey is making it a hard commitment

@Harvee It seems that grey is starting to turn some heads.

Thanks for asking. We spent a lot of time looking at different options. For Supersede we opted for using a screw at the lugs as it offered the most security. I will share more on that in a future post 👍.

Great to hear Michael. With the green I would go with the black, grey or purple option. Atoll blue works with nearly all of them although I would lean towards the blue and grey straps for it. Red would also make a statement.

I’m glad you are enjoying this process. Sometimes we think there are too many newsletters and it’s too much information going out to people so it’s good to have this positive feedback. The design team really did a nice job on colour selection and it is making for some difficult decisions. I’m with you on narrowing it down to 5 colours although I would keep the black and make it 6 😂, I’m still leaning towards the atoll blue. As for green its very cool and falls in line with a more military tool watch look.

Wonderful to hear. Each monitor is a little different and the grey may appear lighter or darker. I edited these on a Mac monitor. Thanks again.

That means a lot! Thank you! Let us know if you have any questions and definitely try to join one of our live shows next week. Thanks again!
