Aw thanks RF, I appreciate that! And I’m honored. I’m going to take a pass for now, though. I’ve got a few too many irons in the fire at the moment with the day job. But cosplaying as a rookie watch journalist for TTAW is something I’ve had in the back of my mind for a while now… you all seem to have a good time.

After I posted, I went to that link: “ The C3 line is currently powered by a Swiss made Ronda quartz movement, though we are exploring the option of an American made movement in the future.”

Excellent, I didn’t realize that. I bought my C5 before the C3 was out and had asked Ryan Torres about using the AQ movement. He said they planned to once the five watches were released. Thank you!

I just ordered the one you linked to for review. You want to do it?

Ok so I didn’t know they use FTS for assembly. I don’t know why, but I had this notion that Vaer had a small workshop in LA where they put these things together. And now that I think about it, that’s kinda ridiculous. LOL

Their C3 Tradition uses an Ameriquartz movement.

But elsewhere in that page they say that they are exploring American movements. So… it’s mysterious.

And then Vaer is listed as a customer. https://www.ftsusa.us/ameriquartz/
