It’s made in Hong Kong, final QC and assembly in Canada. I emailed Chris last night with that question and a couple other. He replied promptly and I will hopefully purchase one from him shortly

Well that kinda sucks.

I understand Honk Kong (the people of Hong Kong) are doing all they can to remain somewhat independent of mainland China, but I suspect any an all profits being generated have a portion of them going into the pocket of the CCP.

I was looking at eventually buying a couple of these, 1 for myself, 1 for my brother, and one for my adult nephew (with another nephew turning 18 in 4 years...).

Going to have to think on this a little. I am sure 100% onshoring for a startup is tough and I would love to see another tool watch company become a major player.

I bought 1... It arrived today. Need to size the bracelet and then I will take some pictures. It is a solid feeling and very nice looking watch.

Got the bad taste of it being partially made in Hong Kong by purchasing 2 other watches. The American made 2022 - Titanium (X1D Gen 2) SR-35 Diver Automatic Watch from CountyComm (movement made in Japan) and a Orient "Triton Lite" that was 100% made in Japan.
