Frequently Asked Questions

What are "special projects"?

Custom-made watches for professionals and organizations

AKRONE develops custom watches for military units, airlines, and businesses – based on the C-02, C-03, or C-04 collections.

Pre-order production, numbered limited edition
Full customization according to group identity
Designed for real-world use, not just for show

Each project is treated as a detailed specification: functional, identity-driven, deliverable.

What is the principle of pre-order?

Made to order – how it works

The project is presented before manufacturing. Participants order and pay in advance. Manufacturing begins when orders close.

Timeline: 10 to 12 months from design to delivery.

What this means for you

Watch manufactured specifically for the project, in a limited edition
Optimized pricing through group manufacturing
Access to an exclusive piece, never available in stock

What elements do you customize?

Customisation options depending on volume (from 35 pieces minimum for C collections)

All volumes: dedicated dial and engraved case back
Up to 99 pieces: dial and case back customisation
From 100 pieces: extended customisation at no extra cost — hands, bezel, case finishes, strap

Each project is tailored to the group's visual identity.

What are the minimum quantities to launch a project?

Minimum order quantities

35 pieces — automatic models C-02, C-03, C-04
100 pieces — quartz versions

If the threshold is not met, the project is canceled without charge.

Design fees may apply for some private label requests.

How much does a custom project cost?

Custom project pricing

The price per watch depends on the base model — C-02, C-03 or C-04 — and the chosen options.

Custom versions without specific options are priced in line with our public collections, despite their exclusive nature.

Service, support and edition production are included. A price list will be provided at the first exchange.

What does your all-inclusive support include?

A project managed from start to finish

Design, technical conception, and project structuring
Presentation kit provided for communication with participants
Pre-order management via our website
Production tracking via dedicated newsletter (4 to 5 mailings)
Integrated after-sales service
Compliance with regulatory framework: rights, authorizations, visual identity
Design possible without existing official visuals

How much time should I allow?

Lead time: 10 to 12 months

Based on collections C-02, C-03 or C-04. Development or production hazards may extend this lead time.

Can we develop a watch on an entirely specific technical basis, rather than on existing C models?

Development on a dedicated basis — full custom project

Possible, as with the SpaceFox project: entirely specific technical basis, design, and conception.

Minimum volume: 450 to 500 pieces
Quote in two phases: design and conception, then manufacturing and assembly
Lead time: 18 to 24 months
Marketing: possible support at the end of the project — photos, web kit (on quote)
