SKMEI Batch & Mass Watch Manufacturing
Batch production is the common practice in watch industry. After a design & engineering phase of 1 to 2 months, over a components procurement phase of 3 months, we take care of the technical drawings, product refinement and the components production of the watches. Then we go into the assembly phase that lasts 1 to 2 weeks. Quality check is performed all along the value chain until the final QC. Complete watches are finally delivered to our dealers.
Just-in-Time Manufacturing of Watches
Just-in-time is relatively new in the watch manufacturing industry. Based on IT and micromanufacturing, this practice is commonly used in the car or electronic industries.
After a design phase of 2 months and a sales projection analysis, a bank of components is designed and quantified. Then over a components production phase of 3 months among our supplier network, all the watch parts are procured and put into inventory.

At all stages, skilled and trained watchmakers will add more than mere screws, parts and cogs but years of craftsmanship experience where each gesture is precise and purposeful.
