Quiet Club: Innovative Alarm Watch Project by HK Ueda, Johnny Ting & Norifumi Seki
Finest mechanical watches enthusiasts and independent watchmaking supporters present groundbreaking Quiet Club project, featuring an alarm watch. Founded by HK Ueda, Johnny Ting, and watchmaker Norifumi Seki, the debut piece is set to impress.
HK and Johnny, friends and ex-startup collaborators, joined forces out of shared love for timepieces. Seeking innovation, they enlisted Seki, a talented Japanese watchmaker, after discovering his work in an article.
Post his win in a prestigious competition, Seki met HK and Johnny virtually during the pandemic. A meeting in person marked the beginning of their collaboration.
Quiet Club stands for focused, purposeful work, reflecting founders' beliefs. The upcoming alarm watch aims to enhance concentration, combining mechanical alarm function with minute repeater sounds.
Designing a user-friendly watch, Seki's expertise was crucial in developing a unique sound and simplifying the operation. Challenges included creating impactful volume from a small space.
In-house development and manufacturing ensure top-notch quality. The timepiece features a unique gong design and a one-button crown for easy use and charging.
With a 40mm titanium case for comfort and style, Quiet Club's future plans include limited production runs with a focus on quality and functionality.
