Understand there are contractual (and business!) limitations to what can be said, so thanks for any answers. :)

By ballpark, I meant could you give round numbers (ie number of figures) on the up-front investment to get something like this off the ground? Or whether it's a back end per-item partnership?

Also, kudos to you and best of luck. It is a nice design, and you're right -- the watch community is under-served by reasonably priced but simple designs. Some of Seiko, Citizen, Orient, and especially Skagen's stuff is nice, but it's amazing how terrible other pieces are.

Some of my favorites are still vintage from the 60s!
