Factories guide

3K, ZF, APS, BT & C+ Factory

The other factories we source from on request, and when one of them is the better choice for your reference.

Most of our orders come from VSF, ARF and Rich Factory. But no factory leads on every reference, so for some models we source from 3K Factory, ZF Factory, APS Factory, BT Factory, C+ Factory instead. These are smaller parts of our business — we use them when they make the better watch, not to fill a catalog.
