PROTOTYPE Sneak Peek: Imperious Gearhead (UPDATED 07/10/10) Bear in mind that this is a first-pass hand-built prototype. Many things are already scheduled to change on this model, but this is the general idea of what the "Gearhead" is going to look like. This also means that the finish is rougher than production, and it will have imperfections that will not obviously be present on production models. I have 3 other model's prototypes (Man of War, Jailbait and Shattered), but so much is changing on those, I won't post them until we begin to see prototypes with the changes complete. This is the first look anyone in the world has had into this brand, and because you guys have been so patient on the unveiling of Imperious, I wanted to make sure you were the first to see the beginning stages. If you don't know what brand this is, then you probably don't remember these threads: http://watchgeeks.net/showthread.php...ight=imperious http://watchgeeks.net/showthread.php...ight=imperious
At this point the only release date I can give for the brand is "early 2010" at this point. Long production schedules and very intricate designs have caused the delay in the brand launch, but rest assured... it absolutely will be worth the wait. I won't bother to give specs on this watch since some things, including the size, will change. All Imperious will be: Swiss Made & completely hand built Will use Superluminova Will use Sapphire crystals with multiple layers of A/R coatings
