Hi everyone!!!
well.... i am pretty exhausted I am not going to lie, these last 3/4 months were challenging.
I just want to thank you all once more for the support and for sticking by the project. Sorry I made you all wait a bit longer I am glad we are done fulfilling KS orders :-)
This is an interesting business, it is somewhat complicated in terms of organization and made much harder by these trying times but all in all I hope I have made all MARNAUT backers proud owners.
Originality has and will always be the cornerstone of our brand so I hope you can all be please with being some of first to own these timepieces. If you enjoy the brand please champion it, spread the word and and help us bring it to another level.
As for the future, I am working on a few things.... I am thinking of a Chronograph next with the highly rated Seiko NE88 or NE86 movements. This will take some time, probably half way into 2021, so stay tuned, enjoy your timepieces, stay in touch and share your pics!

Update on the Seascape 200R
over 3 years ago
– Sun, Sep 06, 2020 at 05:36:55 PM
Hi everyone,
the SS200C and the SS200B are all dispatched and we are only left with shipping our long awaited Seascape 200R with the white inner rotating bezels. We had hoped to start shipping them this past Friday but is pushed back to this upcoming Friday, Sept. 11th.
We were not satisfied with how the Superluminova was applied on the top of the triangle for the white inner bezel ring. They were initially done ok but we feel not good enough so they were made again, hence the delay. You can see the before (left) and after (right).
This is a delicate process that combines lasering to outline the borders of where the lume will be applied. We are obviously dealing with very small parameters and we needed to make some extra corrections in order to give the lume application a better framework.
I hope I have given a little more clarity as to why we are late with the 200R and again I very much appreciate your understanding.
Speak soon, stay safe and best regards to all,
Mario

Hi Everyone,
by now a lot of you have received the watches already. I am grateful for all the comments, we do our very best to make a good product, it seems so far that we have succeed.
The delivery status is as follows:
-
Seascape 200B (Black) All watches have been sent out
-
Seascape 200C (Classic) we have 7 orders still to ship out which will be sent out by this Friday Aug 28th 2020
-
Seascape 200R (Reverse) the most severely delayed so far. We will start shipping these units by the following Friday September 4th 2020. They should all go out at once and not in batches.
We are near the end, we are still pushing hard and some of you guys (especially the R models) need to wait a bit more. Sorry once more :-) and I hope you will all enjoy the watch once they reach you.
Best regards,
Mario
Mid July Update
almost 4 years ago

Hi everyone,
we are pushing as hard as we can and have finally gotten some decent news. I did not want to post any updates until we physically had some units in our possession in Hong Kong and as of a few hrs ago some of the production pieces came in :-)
We will have to fragment the deliveries for a number of reasons, one is so that we can start getting them out even though the whole assembly is not finished yet. This seems to be the most efficient way at this point. These strange times we are in just got a little bit stranger, obviously the largest obstacle has been dealing with Covid 19 and recently some geopolitical changes that have thrown more uncertainty to the timeline. I would like to let everyone know that we are moving as expeditiously as possible and to please bare with us, we really appreciate all the patience thus far and ask for a bit more :-)
We will start shipping early to mid next week. It will be done in chronological order (earliest pledges to latest). Pre-orders on our website will be sent out after Kickstarter orders have been fulfilled. Once dispatched you will receive a tracking number.
Thanks once more for everyone's understanding and stay safe!
Best regards,
Mario
Late June 2020 Update
almost 4 years ago
– Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 03:57:56 AM
Hi everyone,
I hope you are all doing as well. Let's get right down to the issue everyone is interested in.....today I learned that I will have to push the shipping back a bit further. The two reasons for this are that 1. there is a somewhat of a traffic jam in the assembly factory and 2. the white inner bezels (not the black) have a printing delay.
From what I estimated today the updated timeline is as follows; I should have the SS200C (Classic) and SS200B (IP Black) in my warehouse ready to ship by July 17th-20th. The white inner bezel units SS200R (Reverse) by the end of July.
We are trying our best to be as productive as possible, but it has proved difficult now at the very end to keep it on time and rolling smoothly with all the external factors. I am doing my best and will update everyone as soon as I know more.
I am sorry for this delay, please accept my apologies. I will keep the information coming and be available, please reach out to me anytime with any questions, concerns, etc.

Best regards and speak soon,
