Thanks for an interesting post Kong.
Having never encountered this brand before,I'm quite impressed with the design and creativity of GE.My favorite is also the QP(plain). Also interesting to note his use of forged carbon for the casing in the other piece.
cheers

Nix the bling...
I wasn't expecting to like them, based on what I had seen before of the GE collection, but I kinda like the QP (no diamonds). I wonder where I'd get a chance to see one in the flesh A
Very interesting watch...
There are definitely some interesting devices in these watches and one of the watches is very thin. Very interesting and quirky fashion forward watch. Thanks for the report Kong!

Kong, do you know if the forged carbon used by Guy Ellia
is the same forged carbon process that AP uses? One thought that came up in my mind when I saw that forged carbon piece was "Does forged carbon mix well with a super thin watch case?" Initially, my mind says no so it'll be interested to see one of these i...
Different process ...
from AP. AP is using a mold to cast a case, whereas Guy Ellia is milled out from a solid block of forged carbon. The mold with thermocouple wires (for close monitoring of temperature) is put into an oven and heatup to a certain temperature. After which it...
Moulded or Cut/Milled forged carbon case
Kong, Does it mean that the Cut/Milled forged carbon case needs higher cost to produce, is relatively higher quality and has longer life span compared to moulded one? Regards Ling
I can only explained from ...
my previous plastic injection molding experience. It is not necessarily accurate to say machining approach is higher cost, as the one with the mold incurred tooling and machine cost too. I don't have the any figures, so I could not advise accurately. Will...
very stimulating post with quite complicated processing steps.
by the way, learnt other interesting news from your post is that KC will be COO of Sincere. i hope after all, Sincere can still be the leading player in Singapore. thanks, Kong. stefan
You cannot forge Plastic.
Those photos and explanation of the process are excellent. I like when companies disclose their processes and methods. That said, and I'm sorry if I've written this before, but you cannot forge plastic. And that's what these cases are, chopped strands of ...
No, no, Thank you. I'm just the...

someone familiar checking over my writeup. If it is inaccurate, I learn and will be sharper in questioning next round. Thanks. Kong
super report. thank you Kong
i'm quite new to this Brand. but very impressed with their Designs. so impressive and thin!! i like the Quantiem Repetuel a lot. thanks for sharing.. Tony
This is one of those rare instances where IMHO "the ice maketh the watch".
The QP with added bling looks (at least in Kong's wonderful photos) even better than its de-iced cousin. This is hardly surprising, given Ellia's professional provenance as a jeweller. I visited the Guy Ellia booth at Baselworld this year and I'm telling ...
