The Shenzhen watchmaker is developing a manufacturing approach that links component choices with durability testing and packaging.
VDEAR is bringing more of the decisions that shape a watch’s working life into product development. The Shenzhen manufacturer says its approach for brands spans design, mould development, production, testing and packaging. A brand can weigh how a material will look and wear while it is still choosing the case, crystal and strap.
VDEAR offers 316L stainless steel cases, sapphire and mineral crystals, and straps in materials including nylon, silicone and leather alternatives. Its portfolio also includes watches set with lab-grown moissanite. Brands can specify quartz or a self-winding mechanical movement, which runs without routine battery replacement.
The company says it inspects incoming components before assembly, then checks function, durability, water resistance and finish before packing. It also offers more than 20 box styles, including paper and wood options, so brands can choose packaging for each collection.
