        END OF AN ERA What a ride it has been: from an id END OF AN ERA  What a ride it has been: from an idea of a unique watch to an actual watch, a Kickstarter that was funded within 24 hours and a batch of watches that came our way. Seeing our watch ‘flying out’ all over the world was a dream coming true! People from over 25 different countries and five different continents proudly wearing the watch we designed still is something super special to us. With already some challenges in the start, e.g. the wrong steel that was used and fixing that caused a delay in delivery, we continued working on our watch and improving little things as well as designing a smaller model. New things in our life happened, David became happy father of two beautiful boys (with a third one on its way) and Reinder started his own backpack company berg & maan (@berg_maan) with his better half Roana. Priorities shifted for both David and Reinder, and trying to grow a business spending only a few hours a week has proven not to work, at least not for us. Sales stagnated, in already a market which has proven to be super competitive and there is a high loyalty towards more traditional brands. That is why we decided that we will discontinue our activities for DR.W. in the near future.  We had so much fun, we learned more than any course or education could ever teach us, we created our own watch which we still wear every day, we visited our suppliers in China and Italy, we did all we could to make a fantastic product we are super PROUD of. We mostly want to thank everyone that supported us in any way, the everlasting patience and support of our partners, the support of friends and family but also people we don’t know, the overwhelming amount of positive reactions and support, really it was an AWESOME ride that we would never would have wanted to miss!  For now, we hope we can make some people happy with our last watches and accessories. We will sell our last watches with 50% discount and 30% on accessories. Go to our webshop (link in bio) to get this still unique watch.  Also, if you have had the dream of having your own (watch) company, contact us🙂. We are open for discussions!  Time is ticking…
