K2 - The Second Summit

Author: Landon Stirling

We have embarked on our second summit, K2 and are inviting partners to join. 

Continuing with the modularity story of K1 and further marrying the qualities of both industrial and manufacture movements, K2 is the latest movement project to come out of our sister engineering firm, THE Plus AG, located a mere 300 meters from the Horage HQ in Biel/Bienne Switzerland.  

We are opening the doors of opportunity and are openly inviting brands to the movement making table by providing first access to the incredible micro-rotor movement platform that is K2.
 

With a starting base profile of just 2.9mm, 38 variants to choose from, a power reserve of 65 hours and utilizing a silicon escapement, K2 is the latest Swiss micro-rotor of our time.

Horage is seeking eight brand venture partners who desire innovation at acceptable OEM pricing and look to expand their positioning as independent watchmakers.  
 

With a minimum commitment of just 300 base movements a very low barrier to entry has been set to ensure brands at any level have a chance to take part in K2. 

Partners will have access to the following base complications.
 

  • 2.9mm - Small second or centre three hands.

  • 3.3mm - Small second or centre three hands and calendar.

  • 3.6mm - GMT 24 hour, GMT 12 hour, power reserve indicator, calendar, small second or centre three hands.

For those that desire more, partners have access to our hosted manufacturing platform services.  Through hosted manufacturing, each participating brand can secure their own intellectual property, develop their watchmaking infrastructure or simply have a source for their future movement production. 

Brand partners have till December 31st, 2020 to join. First movement samples will deliver in 2021 with final delivery and series production happening in 2023.

Horage has a private B2B member site for brands to access.  Any and all brands are welcome to reach out.  
 
Please contact us directly at lostintime@horage.com to unlock access to the micro-rotor world of K2.

We hope you enjoy this fly over and through K2!

For our Horage fans we have some big plans for K2.  We will have more information at a later date for you all. 
 

The time to make a movement is now. Together, let's leave our mark on the watchmaking universe.
