What it took to build Depancel & The launch of Serie-A Allure Chronograph

In today’s video, we come back to the development of a young French brand called Depancel which is launching a new chronograph part of their collection.
But before getting there, what did it take to do so and what is the singularity of the brand?
Well, most has to do with community involvement, something they took seriously and actually asked their community to help them co-create timepieces according to their will.
Discover all in this interview with the founder and designer of the brand who shared with us their views and experience.

I'm sold! I will soon be a Depancel wearer. Thank you for making a quality and attractive driver's watch that is affordable.

That’s very cool to read and have a nice Depancel adventure 👍👍

It's the classic microbrand story. $100,000 + multiple years as side job (really 90% is supplier's time) + risk managed suppliers + good style + good publicity. If you lack any of these you're most likely to fail, technical expertise not required.

La précommande c'est astucieux, le e-commerce permet de nouvelles possibilités à exploiter. Aujourd'hui l'interaction digitale est un produit en lui même ou le méta-produit.

Et permet de limiter les risques en même temps

Trying to get the F-Back... no go.

[@magnumbrown]

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Toujours une histoire personnelle ;) mais faut vraiment prendre en considération le prix final

[@liangweihao7932]

The poor designer got maybe 1 minute of talking in the entire 15min interview while the owner went on and on, he looked so awkward just sitting there..

Hors de question pour moi d'acheter une marque de montres sans penser au SAV....... sur le LONG terme. Quel intérêt d'acheter des micro brand de montre qui n'existeront plus dans 20 ans. L'atroce crise horlogère des années 70 a fait disparaitre des manufactures par dizaine, Cyma, Angelus, Favre-Leuba, Universal-Genève qui avaient pignon sur rue. Alors, les nouvelles marques de montres, ma réponse est NON !
