From Ian Kremke I am thinking of introducing a "grab and go" High-End Thermo-Compensated Quartz timepiece to our collection.
The design brief is to come up with a rugged, reliable, affordable and super-accurate tool watch that can be used and abused in the line of duty and/or recreation.
By affordable, i mean under US$1000 and by no means inferior in quality and workmanship.
I am aiming for a fresh yet refined style, with a serious functional undertone. (Please, no more references/homages/copies of the following: BP Fifty Fathoms, Omega SM300 or Rolex Submariner)
