This trip could have been a total disaster, but it just wasn't. We were both pleasantly surprised by just how professional everything was and how nicely our/your Erebus Origins are coming along so far. We are serious about making Erebus a success, and I think this demonstrated that to our production partner, and hopefully to any doubters watching. Roll on 2024! Cheers, Jody

I really love how you aren't shy about showing that the watches are proudly made in a factory in China, they look incredible!

Good to see you using San Martin, the bloke on the front left in the assembly room has been there years.

I don’t know how I missed this video and I am looking very forward to receiving my Jody watch! I’m flabbergasted I just tell professional this process is. Not at all what I would’ve expected.. I guess the most unexpected thing was the fact that they adjust the NH movement…. And not just in one position, but four!?!? And they pressure test it?! Wow… Just wow.

I watch A LOT of watch shows, more than anyone should, and this is the first factory tour I have ever seen. Thanks for the video!!!!

I bought an Erebus mainly to support you. Now that I see what goes into it, I am even more excited to get my hands on it! Also, I'm a knife collector and in the past decade, China has made huge improvements in quality manufacturing. I own a few Chinese knives and they are mainly my EDC's.

[spencemiller]

Fascinating. I too thought the factory would be somewhat less professional, or perhaps just more concentrated on speed versus quality control. But these guys are impressive. Erebus just went up a few notches in my book. I bought one because of you Jody ... I'll stay for the quality!

[StevenMRSenior]

I am impressed. I thought there would be more automation in the construction. My late partner and I had two weeks holiday in Hong Kong a few years ago and it was great. We were lucky enough to go when it was Chinese new year so the celebrations were fantastic. I remember the bamboo theatre was free and we were able to get tickets for a performance. A few days later we watched it being dismantled. Unbelievable.

Glad to see the BTS of how good watches are made in good companies in China. Yes, would love to see you do more travel/watch reviews of watch factories and give us an insight behind all the marketing. What a great reveal!

[HansWatches]

Glad to see the launch was a success, and that your choice of watchmaker was well thought through. Also good to see you busting some China factory "myths". Well done!

[alphamrc]

As an American engineer having lived in China for years (in two separate times of my life), I appreciated watching your factory walkthrough. Keep it up!

[dantealighieri]

Great video. As a foreigner living in China (and watch fan of course!) I'm glad to see you put the factory work out into the world in public. It's always sad to see so many comments about Chinese manufacturing and insinuations of exploitation when there's people here working hard to produce good products and just make a living. Also, the entire microbrand industry relies on factories similar to these and it's always seemed to me a bit of a weird aspect of the industry that no one openly talks about the actual manufacturing - so thank you for putting it out there! Of course, it only increases the trust in the brand as well :)

[johnm]

Jody, I think it’s great that you showed this business and the professionals that work in it in a suitably favorable light. So many times “Chinese” has meant low quality, and it’s nice to see professional people making a good product

[thetattedpharmacist]

Awesome to see the process, makes me that much more excited for my Purple Origin!! Thanks Jody & Steven for taking us along for the ride!

[wilderbeestmcc]

I’ve never seen a supplier do what you guys have done to reassure potential customers of quality…. You deserve to succeed 😃👍🇬🇧

[adk]

In three years time I expect no less than Mrs. JOMW to drop you off at the airport in her Aston Martin DBX to take the Erebus Corporate Jet to Honk Kong! Not that I had any doubts I would receive the watch, but this makes it so much more real. 👍🏼

[DJXComputer]

I think this does a lot to further the image of professionalism in Chinese watch making that is it’s due. Can’t wait for my purple to Origin to get here!

[vktravellog]

I been to shenzhen probably around 6 times. Its amazing how guangdong has grown from my first trip back in 2004. The factory parking lot back then was all bikes with maybe 1 car.

[eggsII]

Fantastic work paring that visit to a 10-minute video! Did you have a plan going in knowing that you wanted to film a video? That’s great that your factory partners are willing to work with you in that way as well!

[DarrenBates]

I've actually never been so excited for a watch I've ordered before 😅 I'm so impressed with your production partner; I wasn't expecting the likes of regulation and double pressure testing. Can't wait to have my black origin now ❤

[Joeyczhu]

Hey I'm from Shenzhen, awesome that you were there!
