Three Questions Buyers Ask Before Choosing a Manufacturer

Each one is answered with facts you can check, not promises.

Who manages production?

Orders passed between several parties are where delays and quality drift start.

Can you make my watch?

Movement, materials and finishing have to match your design and price.

What are the minimums?

Minimum order, sampling time and lead time decide whether a project is viable.

One Team From First Drawing to Shipment

HTIMES manages every order end-to-end. Design, sampling, production follow-up and final inspection are run directly by our own engineering and QC team in Dongguan, with capacity of up to 100,000 units per month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who manages production and quality?

HTIMES manages every order end-to-end. Design, sampling, production follow-up and final inspection are run directly by our own engineering and QC team in Dongguan.

What is your minimum order quantity?

100–300 units per style, depending on the design. One style can be split across two or more colors. See MOQ and pricing.

How long does custom watch production take?

Samples take 45–60 days on an existing case or 8–14 weeks for a new design. Production then takes 6–8 weeks for 100–1,000 units or 8–12 weeks for 1,000–5,000 units.

Do you accept orders below 100 units?
