A belated (not quite) happy birthday to us
Well we’re a year older, most definitely wiser and certainly bruised from the year that has been 2019/2020. It has seen us lose our mum........
I’m thinking, I’m hoping
I'd been asked by friends, family, fellow watch collectors and business owners, what I think of the protests going on across the world so I’ve put pen to paper.
The first 365(ish) days
Believe it or not but its been almost 15 months since our website went live and we started showing off our first creation. We’ve gone from idea and a design on a computer, to profile raising, successful crowdfunding, production and finally delivery in Jan 2019. It's been a packed few months and its only the beginning
Reviews, reviews, reviews!
We’re really proud of what the quality and design of Jump Over The Moon so sent them out around the world to be independently reviewed
Launching maals.co.uk and heading into crowdfunding
At long last our store is live!! Thank you to everyone was has given us advice, pitched in with help and favours, photography, sharing posts and anything else I’ve not mentioned, you’ve all been fantastic!
To celebrate the launch of our site, for the month of June we’ll be offering pre-orders of our watch and its combo pack, at a 40% discount.
All ideas great and small
When collecting anything, you always develop favourites, ours are 70’s style jump hours, so it was a no brainer that MAALS first design would be a jump hour. But IT also needed to have that something 'extra', we just didn’t know what that ‘something’ would be yet.
Oh partner where art thou
Finding a suitable ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) to partner with to create our first watch has been an eye-opening experience. We looked closer to home but couldn’t find a fit, so we started looking further afield.
In the beginning, the start of MAALS Watches
We’ve always collected watches, my brother and me, none of them too expensive, some old, some new, but all a bit out of the norm in design. After years of talking but not doing, we bit the bullet and finally decided to start our own watch company and design watches that we’d be happy to have in our own collections.
This first in a series of blogs is about our journey from cool idea to making that idea a reality. We’ve never written a blog or started a company before, so this is a whole new exciting – but a little scary - world for us.
