Kazimon is neither a micro brand,nor an Asian brand,but an independent watchmaker,manufacturing 100% Made in Germany watches in his own facility.
I couldn't agree more Oscar but I'm surprised that it still have to be mentioned here after those years...
July 2010 I was already stating in the arrival thread of my 1500 custom.
"For those who are not familiar with Kazimon's new creation, the 1500 is a 100% inhouse "Made in Germany" watch. Master Kenzo supervise the all making from a pure bloc of 316 steel and can proudly say that no component come from oversea's country."
I also can recall that it's a detail who been brought up regularly.
Since Kazim and me had regular dialogs when cooking this project, I had answers about components provenance:
Double dome sapphire crystal , gaskets, dial&hands was already all Made-in-Germany and this watch model except the movement, could present itself 100% German made, as also the first in-house case from the Kazimon workshop.
Previous cases was made by Fricker if I recall right.
There's a bunch of companies making them own cases who can't tell any of that as they outsource many components.
Crystals are often coming from Asia, even on known brands.
My 1500 is still among my top favorite watches simply because of it's low run(100 pieces) in S.steel case and it's unique feel.
I'm sure on my side, that if a lower price S.steel Nautilus2 would have been presented, people would have reacted differently.
