Bespoke Watch: Shimano 35th Anniversary Corporate Gift Watch
I own a mountain bike and Shimano parts are my favorite.
Shimano manufactures its bicycle gears in Singapore for worldwide distribution, and oversees its other manufacturing
plants in Czech Republic, Italy, Malaysia and China out of Singapore. This year, they celebrate their 35th anniversary
in Singapore and to commemorate the event, they engaged Big Time to make a commemorative gift watch to be given out to
their employees.
As a manufacturer, Shimano has very strict requirement even for its gift watch. Prior to giving the job to
Big Time, they did a test on one of Big Time's watch dial that was previously made for another organization to
ensure it does not contain harmful elements.
The test was done in Shimano's lab. I don't know the full detail but from what I heard, it involved putting
the dial in distilled water and subsequently the dial was removed and the water is then subjected to high temperature.
The residue is then put to some kind of test using a piece of specialized equipment.
Here is the test report:
I don't understand what's written in the report but important thing is they are satisfied with it and went ahead with the deal.
Here are the finished products (quartz):
Men's Version
Women's Version
Caseback
